John or Jonathan?

Any ideas on how I can fit [name_m]John[/name_m] or [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] in as a 2nd middle in one of the combos in my signature? I want to honor my Grandpa. I’m not expecting just planning for the future. :slight_smile:

I thought about [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], after my Dad, Brother and Grandpa. But I don’t love how [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] sound together… do they sound too similar when said together as a first and middle name?

[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] sounds better to me.

[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Ryder[/name_m]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m]

I think [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is too long and cumbersome, sorry! [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] works much better!

I like [name_m]John[/name_m] better for a first name, but [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] better for a middle.

[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is very handsome, I like the way it sounds together.

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] would be handsome as well.

I second [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] - a little less cumbersome. I don’t think [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] sound too similar per se, but [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is a bit of a mouthful, and that feels unnecessary when you could use the much-briefer [name_m]John[/name_m] anyway.

I agree with this.

I think you will have more success using [name_m]John[/name_m] as a second middle as [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] is likely to be too long with most fn mn combinations.
