[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are 100% set on [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] (we’ll pronounce it late-in) but completely stuck on a middle name. The last name is only 1 syllable, fairly common, and starts with W. I’m gravitating towards shorter middle names that end in hard consonant sounds (examples below) but my husband likes something longer and classic like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] or [name_m]Christopher[/name_m].
Here are some of the hard consonant names we’ve considered:
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Scott[/name_u] or [name_m]Prescott[/name_m]
[name_m]Eric[/name_m]
[name_m]Derek[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominick[/name_m]
Another option is to just use my last name, which is used as a first name in other cultures, as the middle name.
Looking for suggestions of other names that flow well with [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] and aren’t too trendy or out there.
I absolutely love [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] as a combo! I think [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] flows beautifully with [name_u]Leighton[/name_u], plus it’s a great name in and of itself and has a wonderful meaning. I also love the idea of using your last name as your son’s middle name. I’m hesitant to make more suggestions just because I’m such a fan of these two possibilities, but setting that aside:
