[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone. [name_m]Long[/name_m] time reader, first time poster…

My wife is due in 4 weeks and we cant decide on a middle name!

Our top two choices are: [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] or [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]

His sister’s name is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

Last name is two syllables starting with T

I like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] the best of the two, it flows nicer in my opinion. Too much L with [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]. Better rhythm with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] too with the longer firsts, short middles.

I love [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and think it would flow more nicely into a T surname. I don’t see a difference sound-wise in the amount of L, since both options have same amount and still flow really well with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].

I like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] because it seem to balance out a little bit better. What about [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u] or [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] to have an R middle like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is lovely. Congratulations!

Both combos work well, but I prefer [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] if the last name is two syllables. Congrats!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] and congratulations. My preference is for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] too. Enjoy deciding.

I like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

I prefer [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]. [name_m]Cole[/name_m] is a bit dated to me.

vivi_simone · February 10, 2018, 6:37am

Another vote for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m].

bonfireazalea · February 10, 2018, 5:18pm

I like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] better. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] feels a bit abrupt, like it’s been cut off.

ssterikoff · February 11, 2018, 7:48am

I like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m].

I prefer [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m], as [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] sounds to redundant with the -er/-ell ending.

morgantaylore · February 11, 2018, 3:49pm

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]!

CarysMarie · February 12, 2018, 3:03am

I think [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is very handsome!

i3ryan · February 12, 2018, 1:21pm

We have decided on [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]. Thanks for your input everyone!
