I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] the names [name]Gideon[/name], [name]Saul[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name]. I really really like [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Graham[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name]. I don’t hate but am unsure of [name]Leighton[/name], [name]Quincy[/name], and [name]Eamon[/name].

For [name]Gideon[/name]:
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Robert[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Skye[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Lyman[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Angelo[/name]

For [name]Saul[/name]:
[name]Saul[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]
[name]Saul[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Saul[/name] [name]Lyman[/name]
[name]Saul[/name] [name]Leeland[/name]
[name]Saul[/name] [name]Jordan[/name]

For [name]Arthur[/name]:
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Robert[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]London[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Skye[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Cian[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Lyman[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Jordan[/name]

I think that [name]Lyman[/name] and [name]Bradley[/name] can go with pretty much all of your first names, my way to figure out if a middle name goes with a first name is to yell it as loud as I can like you are yelling at your child from the other side of a park, if it flows easily then they go together, if you have to think or stumble then maybe try another name. Overall you have some great choices.

[name]Griffin[/name], [name]Eamon[/name] and [name]Saul[/name] are also my favorites from your list. I’d like to add [name]Graham[/name] as well. My top combos would be [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Graham[/name] [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Eamon[/name] [name]Paul[/name], [name]Saul[/name] [name]Lyman[/name]. I love [name]Leo[/name], but don’t think it flows well with any of those as first names.

[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Leeland[/name]… I love that. However, I would spell it [name]Leland[/name], but I am sure that there is a reason why you picked the alternate spelling. Lots of great choices, good luck!
