Help me find middles for these firsts! 🍊

Boy Names
1

hello berries! :sauropod:

boy names are such a struggle! recently, i’ve been trying to figure out what my taste in boy names really is and i’ve come up with a list of names that i’m feeling excited about. the problem is, they need middles and i’m hoping you can help! :dizzy:

to guide you, here’s a little bit of criteria (feel free to bypass this!!):
• things that are important to me/people i love are: stars/the moon/astronomy, nature, the ocean/beach & music
• family names i would like to honor but don’t like on their own are: g@ry & st3ve
• other names that are meaningful are: robert, matthew & wesley
• other names that carry some personal connection are: october, linus & curtis

so, what middle names would you give to these firsts? feel free to use the names i already mentioned above and/or use the criteria i listed or just have fun with it!

arden • merritt • marlowe • wilder • phineas • declan • bennett • beckett • finn • finnegan
