Help! Still finalizing middle name for canyon (sibling to Hickory Crane)

Boy Names
1

We need to finalize the middle name for a little boy. His older sibling is named Hickory [name]Crane[/name] C–tes. We have settled on [name]Canyon[/name] as a first name and need an e name for his middle name to honor his birthmom. We are down to:

[name]Elan[/name] (meaning joyful and also tree - which is a nice, subtle connection both to our son, Hickory, and also to a joining of family trees through adoption)
[name]Ever[/name] - I love the association. [name]Forever[/name] joining two families through adoption.
[name]Eli[/name] - ascended
[name]Ezra[/name] - helper

Thanks for your input!!

My favorite is [name]Canyon[/name] [name]Eli[/name] I think it flows really well. Plus I like the sound of [name]Canyon[/name] [name]Eli[/name] and Hickory [name]Crane[/name]. I feel [name]Canyon[/name] Élan is a tough transition when i say it out loud. I love the meaning behind [name]Elan[/name] but diskike [name]Ezra[/name] because it has a totally different vibe which I feel does not fit well with [name]Canyon[/name]. So my first vote is for [name]Canyon[/name] [name]Eli[/name] for flow then [name]Canyon[/name] Élan for meaning.

Good luck! And Congrats :slight_smile:

Thanks @scarletsway. Any alternate suggestions you might have?

What about Evergreen? It’s an E name, combines the tree reference and meaning of ever, and flows beautifully with [name]Canyon[/name]. [name]Canyon[/name] Evergreen C–tes has a nice 2-3-1 syllable pattern.
