Hello all! I was looking for some help for a first name to go with the middle name [name]Walker[/name]. We are 100% sure we want [name]Walker[/name] since it has a personal family connection We have a few ideas but are not too sure on any of them! Any suggestions would be appreciated Our ideas so far are: [name]Weston[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Archer[/name], [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name]. [name]Theodore[/name] is my favorite so far and [name]Jackson[/name] is my husbands. I actually like the name [name]Jackson[/name] but I know three boys given this name in the last few months! My husband and I both like [name]Archer[/name] but since both names end in “er” I’m not sure 
Help please!!
Congratulations on your little man!
Firstly, a first name with the ending -er will not work when paired with [name]Walker[/name]. It turns the name into a rhyme. Therefore, [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Archer[/name] are out.
I would also avoid the double W alliteration, thus eliminating [name]Weston[/name].
That leaves [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name]. You are absolutely, 100% correct that every little boy nowadays is named [name]Jackson[/name]. I think they’ve passed a law in several states mandating it. It’s a fine name, presidential in keeping with [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name], but so overused that your son most certainly will share his name with several other little boys in whatever cohort he chooses to join.
[name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are both fantastic. The [name]Teddy[/name] nickname is sweet for a little boy, and he can grown into [name]Theo[/name] when he’s older. [name]Lincoln[/name], on the other hand, is much less common and comes with the zippy nickname [name]Linc[/name]. [name]Both[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] flow very well with [name]Walker[/name]; I would classify [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]Walker[/name] as a little more cool than [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Walker[/name], which feels formal and distinguished. Therefore I’d say, select the name based on which image you prefer for your son (laid-back and cool v. distinguished).
My 2 votes are [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]Walker[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Walker[/name]. [name]Lincoln[/name] slightly ahead. I do like [name]Archer[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name], but agree with blade, that they don’t work with [name]Walker[/name]. And I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Jackson[/name], but if you already feel like it’s too popular, I would nix it.
I ditto [name]Blade[/name]'s analysis, esp. regarding -er names like [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Archer[/name]. I don’t mind the alliterative [name]Weston[/name] [name]Walker[/name], but I admit that [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name] are more appealing to me. Ranked at #178, [name]Lincoln[/name] is actually more used right now ([name]Theodore[/name] isn’t far below in the 230s), but I don’t think you’ll have much trouble with overuse of either. I love the nicknames that both offer: [name]Linc[/name] or [name]Cole[/name] for [name]Lincoln[/name] (I prefer [name]Cole[/name]), and [name]Ted[/name]/[name]Theo[/name]/[name]Tad[/name]/[name]Bear[/name]/[name]Tory[/name] for [name]Theodore[/name]. I guess the only thing that sets the apart is their style: [name]Lincoln[/name] feels more rugged, rough-and-tumble, and a touch newer while [name]Theodore[/name] has a more distinguished, antique feel for me.
thanks ladies!! I agree that [name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are the best of the list!! Now I just have to see what the hubby says 
I, too, agree that [name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are the best of the bunch. I love [name]Lincoln[/name], but with the mn [name]Walker[/name], I have a preference for [name]Theodore[/name]. Since [name]Walker[/name] and (presumably) your last name are both surname-type names, the upside in choosing [name]Theodore[/name] is that your son would have one name that is clearly a given name. That way, he would not have three names (fn, mn, ln) that are all traditional surnames.
