Heading says it all really! Which do you prefer and why? [name]Heath[/name], [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Briar[/name] or [name]Rye[/name]?
Thanks! [name]Jessie[/name] x
1 [name]Arlo[/name] - love names ending in “o”. Like the music connection too!
2 [name]Heath[/name] - strong and masculine
3 [name]Briar[/name] - more girls have this name than boys. Kind of harsh to my ears.
4 [name]Rye[/name] - I don’t like naming children after alcoholic drinks. It may give them funny ideas later in life. 
If you don’t have a mn choice already picked out, [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Heath[/name] would be a great combo!
What I was thinking.
[name]Heath[/name]- Ledger
[name]Arlo[/name]-
[name]Briar[/name]- [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Rye[/name]- Bread
Lol… [name]Just[/name] some quick word association. Those are the first things I think of when I hear each name. [name]Arlo[/name] is the only one that doesn’t have any blatant connections for me, so I think it is the most versatile. [name]Arlo[/name] is very handsome. I also do actually like [name]Heath[/name], and I really like the pp’s suggestion of [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Heath[/name]. Good luck! =]
Thankyou! Middle name will be a family name: likely [name]Christopher[/name] but I am researching family tree for other options! Although [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Heath[/name] Ashdown sounds pretty good… hmm I may run that one past my other half! But the rest of my boys have family middles so… maybe this one would feel left out if we did that?
Canadians must think alike. You took the words out of my mouth. :eek:
[name]Arlo[/name] is my favorite among the bunch.
I really love [name]Heath[/name]! The others are just kind of meh…
1 [name]Arlo[/name] - Dislike, prefer [name]Ari[/name] or [name]Arthur[/name].
2 [name]Heath[/name] - strong and masculine. [name]Adore[/name] this one.
3 [name]Briar[/name] - I have it on my girl’s list. It makes me think of wild roses and Sleeping Beauty.
4 [name]Rye[/name] - [name]Rhys[/name] I love, rye sounds like a sandwich to me.
[name]Arlo[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] - I like [name]Arlo[/name]
[name]Heath[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] - like this combination
[name]Briar[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] - that doesn’t work but I love the idea of using [name]Briar[/name] on a boy - would be better if you can find a different middle name
[name]Rye[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] - [name]Rye[/name] is a cereal crop to me, I didn’t go to alcohol at all, nothing wrong with it in my book
[name]Arlo[/name] is by far my favorite choice, but I’m not sure of the combo [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]. [name]Heath[/name] is my second choice, and I think [name]Heath[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] sounds better
I love [name]Heath[/name] the best!!!
Next favourite is [name]Arlo[/name].
The rest I don’t really care for.
[name]Heath[/name] gets my vote
I love both [name]Arlo[/name] and [name]Rye[/name] however another spelling of [name]Rye[/name] I have seen is “[name]Ry[/name]” if that helps at all
I’m on the [name]Arlo[/name] train!
I love [name]Heath[/name] and [name]Briar[/name]. (I love the nature names on boys. Great mix of sophistication and rugged handsome-ness.
I also like [name]Arlo[/name] - i’s got that great -o ending but with a bit of a bad boy beginning.
If you don’t have a mn combo ready to go I’d choose [name]Heath[/name] [name]Arlo[/name] followed by [name]Briar[/name] [name]Heath[/name].
Thankyou all! I’ve found these family names as other middle name ideas: [name]Timothy[/name], [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]William[/name]. I do like [name]Heath[/name] [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Heath[/name] [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Timothy[/name], [name]Briar[/name] [name]William[/name] and [name]Rye[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]. What do you think?
[name]Arlo[/name] is my favorite with [name]Heath[/name] as a close second. I do not like the other two.
I lie [name]Heath[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Frederick[/name] the best. [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] does have very nice flow. I also like [name]Arlo[/name] [name]William[/name] or [name]Heath[/name] [name]William[/name]. I agree with PPs that [name]Rye[/name] reminds me of the drink and bread and [name]Briar[/name] is feminine to me ([name]Briar[/name] [name]Rose[/name] of Sleeping Beauty).
