Good middle names for Robert

Boy Names
1

My dad’s name is [name]Robert[/name] and I would love to use his name as a possible first name for a future son. I know it is still popular and in the top 100, but it is a solid classic that I love so much. My current son’s name is [name]Emory[/name] and I love that they would both have [name]German[/name] origins. My husband hates [name]Rupert[/name], so that is not on the table at all as a first or middle name.

Our last name is one syllable and starts with H. I want to find a unique name that would spice it up a bit and if he gets sick of having the name [name]Robert[/name] he can use the middle name.

Any ideas?

[name]Robert[/name] [name]Rafferty[/name]
[name]Robert[/name] [name]Matthias[/name]

Good luck!

[name]Robert[/name] [name]Avery[/name]? I am not one to advice this but after seeing your son’s name now and you can’t go wrong with a unisex name after such a strong masculine name :).

I’m partial to [name]Robert[/name] [name]Edward[/name].

I love your son’s name! I think middle names should have special meaning to the parents. Are there any special places, hobbies, or things that have special significance to you and your husband? Maybe a favorite character or a favorite song? Anything you could incorporate into a name?

For example, I know a lady whose husband proposed to her at the Grand [name]Canyon[/name]. They gave their first child (a boy) the middle name [name]Canyon[/name].

I love [name]Robert[/name] [name]Oliver[/name].

[name]Just[/name] so you know nameberry lists [name]Emory[/name] as a form of [name]Emery[/name] that they attribute as being [name]German[/name]. [name]German[/name] naming sites attribute it to Old English. I think if you defined it as Germanic you’d be correct but the idea that it is actually [name]German[/name] seems to be a misconception. (one that is on a lot of American naming sites - often Germanic names are attributed to being [name]German[/name] even though they aren’t actually properly pronounceable in [name]German[/name] or where a clearly [name]German[/name] version exists).

[name]How[/name] about something like [name]Able[/name], [name]Korbin[/name], or [name]Tristan[/name]? They all sound great in [name]German[/name] have strong Germanic routs but aren’t incredibly popular.
