I have recently discovered the name [name]Evander[/name], nickname “[name]Anders[/name]” and have fallen totally in love with it, and have DHs seal of approval also! DH is Andrew, and “Anders” is a way of honoring him, do you think the nickname works?
BUT! We can’t begin to think of a middle name that does it any justice whatsoever, nothing seems to flow, the closest we’ve come is “[name]Evander[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]” which is DHs and his fathers Middle names, but to be completely honest, [name]Bradley[/name] just doesn’t do it for me, it’s not my style at all! Last name is Zah-Car-Uck.
I lean towards less traditional names overall, our other top names for boys include [name]Lachlan[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Theron[/name] [name]Xavier[/name], and [name]Dresden[/name] [name]Adair[/name]. I would love something with the same flair if possible, any ideas berries?? Any general opinions on my combos or the name [name]Evander[/name] also welcome!
Anyone?
I’ve brainstormed a bit but I am still not finding the right feel! (Most of these are family names)

[name]Evander[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]

[name]Evander[/name] [name]William[/name] (Possibly my current favorite?)
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Vincent[/name] (Too many V’s?)
Look…(1) [name]Evander[/name] is an unconventional name. Can’t think of any kind of middle name to fit into that; (2) Middle names don’t matter a whole lot. Anything goes. You’re mostly on your own. (3) If you really insist, narrow down your list and select a few for us Berries to consider. We can’t do all you work for you. In light of that…how about [name]Evander[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
I think [name]Evander[/name] nn [name]Anders[/name] is adorable! I think it flows best with a one-syllable middle name such as [name]James[/name] or [name]Cole[/name].
I have to say that I found enguerrand a little rude. “We can’t do all your work for you” She’s not asking. She’s asking us to help her find some middle names like practically every one else on this site. So I’m apologizing for that rude response.
I love the name [name]Evander[/name]! It’s been on my list. I know a guy named [name]Phoenix[/name] [name]Evander[/name] so maybe [name]Evander[/name] [name]Phoenix[/name]? From your list I like [name]Evander[/name] [name]Cole[/name] and [name]Evander[/name] [name]William[/name] (sort of)
From your other combos, I really like [name]Theron[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]! If you want to have a sibset, [name]Evander[/name] and [name]Theron[/name] are great! They’re both classic Greek names. If you don’t want them as a sibset, [name]Evander[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] sounds pretty cool.

[name]Evander[/name] is a little hard to find a middle name with, so most of these came off my own list and a lot of them are Greek names and they might not be your style.

[name]Do[/name] you like any of those?
Thanks Dantea and [name]Ange[/name] for the helpful responses! I do agree with [name]Ange[/name] that a shorter, simpler, 1 syllable middle name seems to flow the best. [name]Evander[/name] [name]Cole[/name] keeps sticking with me, but I still don’t feel it’s the right “one”.
Dantea - We seem to have a lot of similar faves! We love Greek names! My DH is a huge Greek [name]History[/name]/WhateverAnythingGreek nut! I do like the idea of [name]Evander[/name] [name]Xavier[/name], but with the last name it almost sounds like a tongue twister with so many end of the alphabet sounds, V, X and Z. I love suggestions of [name]Artemis[/name] (can’t use though 
) [name]Lucien[/name], (DH probably won’t go for it ) and [name]Soren[/name], but again, still not quite there yet! If you could suggest more, that would be wonderful! You are so close to hitting the mark!
[name]Do[/name] any of these help or seem to work? Some other names off our list that don’t have places, and are just fancies for now include:
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Alasdair[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Cale[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Forrest[/name]
[name]Falconer[/name]/[name]Falkner[/name]/(Need to Check the Actual Spelling! Family Name!)
[name]Jude[/name]/[name]Judah[/name]
Also any Ukrainian, Greek, [name]Roman[/name], Irish, Gaelic or Welsh suggestions are welcome!
I like [name]Alasdair[/name] but really dislike the D in there. i prefer [name]Alastair[/name] or the Greek Alastor. i think [name]Evander[/name] Alastor is kind of neat!
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Cale[/name] and [name]Evander[/name] [name]Jude[/name] are also good too.
And yea, Me and DH are pretty well versed in Greek history and culture. I hate seeing some Greek names on this site because they constantly get mispronounced and I get tired of trying to explain the correct way to say them. ^^
Most of these come from behindthename.com, which I really trust with their origins much more than I do nameberry.
Warning… this is going to get long. ^^

Ok, sorry it’s so long. You could get more irish names from some of our local Irish speakers. Did you find any thing in there you like?
[name]Evander[/name] Argos
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Cato[/name]
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Draco[/name]
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Galen[/name]
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Orion[/name] (I [name]LOVE[/name] THIS!!!) (I just mentioned it to DH, he was semi-on board with it)
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Pierce[/name] (This could be a great way to honour my Mothers side of the family, LN [name]Pearson[/name])
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Perrin[/name]
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Caius[/name] ([name]How[/name] would you say this? I think [name]Kye[/name]-Us)
[name]Evander[/name] C”[name]EL[/name] (cale) (I do like this spelling!)
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Torin[/name]
Lots of them I eliminated due to associations, either bad or just knew someone with the name already, or already used in the family. There are a lot of Irish names in use in my family, with more phonetic spellings though. Thank you again! I think we may have really hit the mark with [name]Evander[/name] [name]Orion[/name] but any of these are great options so far!!!
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Cole[/name] and [name]Evander[/name] [name]Jude[/name] are my favorites so far!
[name]Caius[/name] is pronounced like like you’re saying, i think. the ai=eye
And i love [name]Evander[/name] [name]Orion[/name] (both are archers too ^_^)
You’re very welcome!
Hate to bump my old thread, but didn’t want to make a new one! If there’s anyone still playing attention, What about [name]Evander[/name] [name]Alcott[/name]? I’m so-so on [name]Evander[/name] [name]Orion[/name] right now, not sure about the flow!
I like [name]Evander[/name] [name]Alcott[/name]. It has a nice ring to is and they go together nicely 
I think it may be the one I’ve been looking for, it seems to flow nicely, and it’s a nod to one of my favorite authors, and since I’m a huge book nerd, I love that!
My favorite combo is [name]Evander[/name] [name]Lachlan[/name]. Good luck!
