Middle name to go with Daniel

Boy Names
1

Hello,
We have finally settled on a name for our third boy—[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]. But we’re struggling to pick a middle name. I’d really like something fresh and modern to offset how traditional [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] is. I like [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], but DH thinks it sounds feminine. We have considered [name_u]West[/name_u]/[name_m]Weston[/name_m] but feel a bit ambivalent. I tend to favor monosyllabic names that have a surname feel ([name_u]Reed[/name_u]) and my DH has southern roots so we’d consider names in that vein as well. Thanks for any suggestions!

[name_m]Wells[/name_m]. [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Wells[/name_m]. Done.

If your husband thinks [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] is too feminine (because of [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]?) and you’ve considered [name_u]West/name_u and like a one syllable name… then I think [name_m]Wells[/name_m] would be perfect :slight_smile:

FWIW, I know a little [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] and I think his name fits right in with his friends [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Justin[/name_m], and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
