Boy Names

We’re expecting a baby boy in [name_u]March[/name_u] & are pretty set on [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] as his first name, but we are having a hard time deciding which middle name to go with. Here is our list so far:

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Knox[/name_m]

What’s your favorite? Or do you have any other suggestions? Last name is two syllables.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is very nice! I like that it is 3 syllables with a 2 syllable first and last. 2-3-2 will flow better than 2-2-2.

I really like [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m].
Other suggestions:

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m]

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is the best bet. Also, like [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Knox[/name_m]. I agree with @hixtwin4 that a 3 syllable middle would sound best. Or you could do a one syllable but definitely not 2. Also, like alternate suggestions by @judyariel. I wouldn’t go with the “E” middles personally.

congrats!

but it strikes me as a middle name already (as does female name [name_f]Louise[/name_f]).

I like [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] but that may be because I like an actor named that!

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is my favorite out of those, and it sounds and flows better than the rest. I love both [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. Other mn options:

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Tobin[/name_m]

Definitely [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. I love both names and they flow together well. Looooove it.

I’m with the majority on this one–[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] all the way. Not only is the syllabic flow ideal, but I like the unexpected juxtaposition of the Welsh [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] with the angelic [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m].
