Middle name for Patrick?

Boy Names
1

I’m due in 3 weeks, and we’re still on the hunt for a middle name. His first name will be [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]… and his big siblings are named [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_m]Luke[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]. Our last name is 2 syllables and starts with Mak-

We’d like the middle name to be a family name, and so here are the contenders:

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]

What do you guys think?

I think one syllable names like [name_u]Lane[/name_u]/[name_m]John[/name_m] sound best with [name_m]Patrick[/name_m].

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] are my favourite

Try saying the options out loud with your surname and see which sounds best to you

I really love [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]! Given both the fn and sn are two syllables I’m really liking the idea of a one syllable middle in general.

Some other ideas:

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Clark[/name_m] (possibly too matchy?)
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Gale[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Lorne[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Garth[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Ive[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Baird[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Tate[/name_u]

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] is my favorite. PJ would make a cute nickname too.

I like [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], but they’re all fine other than [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. That’s too much sound repetition for me.

7

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] get my vote.

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] and [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] are my least favourite of your choices.

Thanks so much for your feedback! It’s super helpful. Looks like we’re having the baby in a few days, so I’m bumping once more to possibly get any last opinions…

Thanks again!
