Okay I think I finally found a middle name for [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] that makes me happy.
[name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Kiah[/name_u]?
What do you think of [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] for a boy. Apparently it derives from [name_u]Hezekiah[/name_u] or [name_m]Michaiah[/name_m]. I briefly considered [name_m]Michaiah[/name_m] or [name_m]Makai[/name_m], which are okay but I dont love them.
I know [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] is really known for a girl name but I think [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] spelled this way is more masculine. I think it works like [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]. I like boy names ending in “a” although I do hope it could feel masculine or at the least unisex.
Wondering thoughts? I also like [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_m]Julius[/name_m], [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] (family name), and [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] but I think [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] is possibly the one!
I think it’s cool! And I agree that [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] looks more masculine than [name_f]Kaia[/name_f].
However, my first instinct was to pronounce it ‘Kia’ (rhymes with Mia) and that made the combo feel like a brand of car, as both [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] and [name_f]Kia[/name_f] are car companies. But, I doubt people will need to pronounce his middle name often, so I doubt that would be a frequent issue in real life.
I think [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] is my personal favorite from your list, but [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] is a close second.

definitely didn’t see it as feminine - but I happen to know a kiah (hezekiah), so that probably affects my perception. lincoln barrett is my favorite of your combos, but this is a close second!

Awe. I really enjoy that others like [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Barrett[/name_u]! So thank you! I really didn’t think about [name_f]Kia[/name_f] but I could see how that would be a problem because [name_f]Kia[/name_f] is totally a car reference for me. I think for me seeing the h on the end, I would know it was Ky-ah but I guess maybe not everyone would. I didnt think about that. I keep running into issues with [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u], because its a president name, its a car, etc, so finding a middle name that doesn’t put it into a some kind of strange category has been a real challenge lol. For example I liked [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] but both are president names!!
[name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] is so cool!! I really like the idea of [name_u]Kiah[/name_u] on a boy. It sounds gender neutral to me and I like it alongside the solid Lincoln!!
