'Grounded' middle names for these firsts

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

I often like to pair a more unique first name with a middle that’s slightly more grounded and familiar - think [name_m]Sholto[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Forest[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. I find this far easier with fem names as I like more of them, but I’m not wild on a lot of the ‘classic’, popular, familiar masc names (there are exceptions, obviously).

Still, I’d love to know what middle names you’d pair with these bolder first names that feel just a little more familiar or grounded?

First names in need of middles:

[name_m]Galahad[/name_m], [name_m]Brynmor[/name_m], [name_m]Ozias[/name_m], [name_m]Azarius[/name_m], [name_m]Nevan[/name_m], [name_m]Endymion[/name_m], [name_m]Horatio[/name_m], [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_u]Reef[/name_u], [name_m]Isidore[/name_m], [name_u]Tay[/name_u], [name_m]Wystan[/name_m], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_u]Quill[/name_u]

'Grounded'/familiar names I don't like for me (and some I do)

Dislike: [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Harry[/name_u], [name_u]Jack[/name_u], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Jack[/name_u], [name_u]Charles[/name_u], [name_u]William[/name_u], [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_u]Edward[/name_u], [name_u]Joseph[/name_u], [name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_u]Jackson[/name_u], [name_u]Levi[/name_u], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Mason[/name_u], [name_u]Wyatt[/name_u], [name_u]David[/name_u], [name_u]John[/name_u], [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], [name_u]Austin[/name_u]

Some that I do like: [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u], [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u]

Thank you so much for any suggestions - and obviously, only do as many or as few as you wish

[name_f]My[/name_f] son is coming in 22 days and we’re calling him [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] [name_u]Logan[/name_u].

Two masculine scottish names to ground the more unisex boho flavour of [name_u]Winter[/name_u]!
