So, I’m having a baby! Due date is [name]April[/name] 12. We don’t know the gender - but have already settled on a girl name. The trouble comes when we try to decide on a boy name. We’re leaning towards [name]Graham[/name] - but are having trouble with the middle name. To give you an idea of our taste… other names we’ve considered are [name]Sullivan[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Calvin[/name] & [name]Silas[/name]. Our surname is Idle.
Any suggestions??!
I love the name [name]Graham[/name] - it was on our short list for my son and baby #2, due this summer. I like the sound of a more traditional middle name with [name]Graham[/name]… maybe [name]Graham[/name] [name]Henry[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] or [name]Graham[/name] [name]Louis[/name]? Or [name]Graham[/name] [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Deacon[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Corbin[/name] might be more in line with the other names you’ve mentioned.

From your choices I like:
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Asher[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Silas[/name]
Personally I would you use something more classic and not surname-y for mns. Such as:
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Edward[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Noah[/name]
More in your style:
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Everett[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Dexter[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Elias[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Levi[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Julius[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Hugh[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Felix[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]River[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Amos[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Abbott[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Jedediah[/name]
[name]Hope[/name] that helps! My favorites: [name]Graham[/name] [name]August[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Abbott[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Jedediah[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Elias[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Everett[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Elliott[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]. 
From the pp’s suggestion, I think [name]Graham[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] sounds great w/ your last name. I would stick with something with a hard consonant first sound to offset the softer sound of [name]Graham[/name].
Also, I wouldn’t go with a one syllable mn - I think 2 or 3 would be better, again to offset the one syllable [name]Graham[/name] (great name, BTW!).
You guys are so great! Thanks for all of the input! I guess I’m a sucker for the vowels (especially E!)… as these are my favorites so far:
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Amos[/name] Idle (bonus - [name]Amos[/name] was my Grandpa’s name)
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Elliott[/name] Idle
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Everett[/name] Idle
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Elias[/name] Idle
And one that the hubster suggested last night:
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Edison[/name] Idle
So… clearly there’s a theme here… lol.
Hmmm…??!
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Edison[/name] feels like you are honoring [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Graham[/name] [name]Bell[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Edison[/name] - that was my immediate thought. I do like [name]Graham[/name] [name]Everett[/name].
