[name_f]My[/name_f] husband really wants to use my maiden name of [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] if we have a boy. It was my last name for so long I am having a terrible time coming up with a middle name. Our last name is two syllable and ends w/ ‘er’. [name_f]My[/name_f] feeling s that it needs to be three syllable and begin with a vowel? [name_f]My[/name_f] best so far-[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]-[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u]-and [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]McKinley[/name_u].
I just heard a baby named [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] recently and thought it was pretty neat. [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_u]Orion[/name_u] are both good - I don’t care for [name_u]McKinley[/name_u], sounds feminine to me. Other ideas, some with vowels/ 3 syllables, some not:
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Abner[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Ogden[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Gentry[/name_u]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
Good luck!
I love [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]! I’m bias though, as it’s my sons middle name. We considered it as a first name too!

Thanks so much for your help! [name_u]Everett[/name_u] was one I hadn’t really thought of and several of you mentioned it. [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] sounds ok too and would have some special meaning since that is my husband’s grandfather’s name.
I think that’s a great idea! As long as you’re comfortable with it and it won’t feel strange calling your child by what was your surname for most of your life… [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] is my fave of your choices. [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] has too much long O sound. I agree with 3 syllables, but i don’t think you need a vowel name. [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]/[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]/[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]/[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] all sound great. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a few others:
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]
