How would you mix these two names for an honor name?

My father in law and my dads names…I’m struggling mixing the two.

[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_m]Eugene[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Mack[/name_m]

Almack which is a British surname is what I came up with but the first name would be two syllables as well and I don’t really like that. I was looking for a three syllable name. I really like ‘[name_m]Mac[/name_m]’ as a beginning but I just want some help! Figured if anyone can do it the nameberries can.

Example -Mother in law and mothers name [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] and [name_u]Jody[/name_u] became Beccodie, a surname.

Hrm that’s a tricky one. Most of the ones I come up with are two syllable as well:

[name_f]Macen[/name_f]
[name_m]Jamal[/name_m]

If you’re open to a bit of creativity you can make [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] or [name_u]Jaden[/name_u] using letters from within the names (half from either dad)…

Best wishes with your search and your pregnancy :slight_smile:

It might not be the most creative blend, but how about MacAlfred?

TBH, I would suggest two middles as I would prefer that over a name that appears to be a made up one. ________ [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] would be nice.

My personal favorite is [name_m]Jed[/name_m] for [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], but these might also do the trick:

[name_m]Jared[/name_m]
[name_m]Aleck[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
Alfrick

Thank you! @babyboy2017 it is a tough one!

@islandgirl Thank you! Yeah I’m not sure. It’s a tough one.

@whitegardenia The baby would have a second middle name anyway.

@chrisco I have a [name_m]Jed[/name_m] in my family. I do like [name_m]Aleck[/name_m] but it doesn’t get 3 syllables! Haha, it’s a tough one.

What about Mccaney? @whitegardenia @islandgirl @babyboy2017 @chrisco

My dad does go by [name_m]Jimmy[/name_m].

Oh, I love Mccaney! The [name_m]Scot[/name_m] in me wants to capitalize that second C, but regardless I think you may have a winner there!

Putting [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] and [name_u]James[/name_u] together makes me think of [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m]. [name_m]Eugene[/name_m] and [name_u]James[/name_u] together makes me think of Euphraim. You could also use the initials AJ.
