[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is so handsome and distinguished I like it a lot.
Significance of a name means a lot for me so that beats flow any day. [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m] flows is fine, in my opinion.
I would honour your father with [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. You bearing a child for your husband is honour enough. 
@mischa - haha! good point!! 
Would you rather honor your father or your husband? I feel like were I in the position to honor my dad OR my husband (which I’m not, because I’m not married, but if I were…), I feel like I’d want to honor my husband more. I think [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Titus[/name_m] is fab, and it sounds nice with your surname. I really like the look of [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], too, though. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] doesn’t really excite me, but it is nice enough. I don’t think any of them really flow BADLY… I wouldn’t use a family name unless I loved it. It is important for me to honor family, so I’ve never really let myself love anything that didn’t include a family name. But now that my combos are the way they are and I love them so much, I can’t imagine loving another name more. I think if you love [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], then use [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Titus[/name_m] are great, too, though, and I really like [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Titus[/name_m] for your husband.
Good luck!
I was tied between [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_m]Milo[/name_m], but I voted for [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. They’re both great, and I love how [name_m]Milo[/name_m] honours your dad. Ask your husband whether he likes [name_m]Titus[/name_m] because of the name, or because it honours him.
I do think Declan Elijah sounds best. But I like Declan Milo too, and would honor someone while you have the chance. I regret not having used a family name for my son’s middle.
Ditto [name_u]Mischa[/name_u], I vote for [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m] : )
I voted for [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. Significance trumps pretty much everything in my book, and [name_m]Titus[/name_m] is too cool to hide in the middle spot.
Edited for privacy.
Also, just to be sure, [name_m]Milo[/name_m] would be to honor [name_m]Milton[/name_m]. Does this make sense to you guys?
I place significance over flow any day. It’s up to you who is more important to honor
Significance is [name_m]WAY[/name_m] more important than flow. You will regret it if you choose a name based on sound alone. Significance runs way deeper. I honoured my husband with my son’s middle name, and while the flow is off (first and middle names end with the same sound) I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Good luck to you!
