Middle name for Matteo?

Boy Names
1

Hi folks! We’re about to have a baby boy and want to name him Matteo (I’m Italian-American with an Italian last name) and working through middle names. Would anyone have any good suggestions? We’re kind of leaning away from Italian middle names since it’s maybe leaning a bit too much that way. We’re gravitating towards nature-themed names but haven’t found anything that hits us like a lightning bolt.

We also have some Irish heritage and were considering things in that area, but Gaelic spellings/pronunciations can be challenging.

So far we have:

Clover
Fiore
Leone (lion, he’ll be a Leo)
Alan (family name)
Aiden
Orion (I think the double O might be challenging)
Ryan
Lonan
Florian

Any suggestions?

Oh we love [name_m]Leander[/name_m]! [name_m]The[/name_m] backstory is a bit tragic but so it goes for lots of names when one digs around.
