I like the options of [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] best. [name_u]James[/name_u] is nice but it seems to be the go-to middle name for boys.

[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] wast first thought. Very well balanced.

I love [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]! I so badly want to name our second son [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] but my husband will not have it as a first name - so I’m going for a middle :slight_smile:

[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is lovely.
