I know, I know, I have [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] in my signature. Please, let’s try to ignore him for now. I love him, but he’s not really what I thought I was wanting for my [name_u]Avery[/name_u] combo, so I’m trying to set him aside and see if I can find something closer to what I was looking for (not sure I can define that, either, but since [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is quite popular for girls these days, a familiar boys’ name, especially Biblical classics, are what I’m looking at at this point). Maybe something simple enough to let [name_u]Avery[/name_u] shine, because I almost lose sight of all the things I love about [name_u]Avery[/name_u] when I look at [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m].
So far, I like [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] a lot, or even [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]. I’m thinking about [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Leo[/name_m], too.
Thanks, @jariel! I do like [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] a lot, but I have a friend with a son named [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]–I’m not too fussed about reusing [name_u]Avery[/name_u], since she got it from me in the first place (:)), and she knows [name_u]Avery[/name_u]'s been on my list for forever, but two [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniels[/name_m] feels a bit like overkill. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] is significant to both of us. Maybe I’ll keep [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] on the backburner, in case I can’t commit to anything else and I’m still loving it.
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m]/[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Amias[/name_m] are maybes.
haha, thank you, but I’m not expecting. [name_m]Just[/name_m] updating my “maybe one day” lists.
I like [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] from your suggestions–thank you!
I agree that [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] really steals the spotlight in that combo, and I like the idea of highlighting [name_u]Avery[/name_u] a bit more. Wow, I love the sound of [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]! I can’t even think of any suggestions after I read that in options you were thinking about. I would just start looking for a second middle to complete it:)
Other previous suggestions that have the same effect as [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] for me:
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
We have [name_u]Avery[/name_u] as a middle name for [name_m]Grant[/name_m] on our list so I wonder if you would like [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]? [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is simple but strong and really anchors airy [name_u]Avery[/name_u]. Plus [name_m]Grant[/name_m] shares that hard G sound with Ignatious so perhaps you would like that similarity?
From your list I think [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is gorgeous!
For biblical middle names what about
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] (love!)
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
Thanks, everyone! I’m intrigued by [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] (although, I think [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] steals the show here, too. I feel like I’d like [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] more, too, although if I used [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] up front, I’m about 90% sure my combo would be [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Jack[/name_m]) and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (also not likely, as I’m virtually positive I’ll have [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] as a FN on my list when it’s all said and done). One syllable middles aren’t likely, since I’ll be adding a second middle, and most of my family names are one syllable, too.
@emmamay - I am glad you like [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] so much! I do like it a lot. Other than [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m], I think [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] are my favorites. I used to love [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], but I now have [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] in my top five.
@ad10 - probably not. I love [name_m]Grant[/name_m] as a FN just about as much as I love [name_u]Avery[/name_u] as a FN, so I don’t think I could bear to put either one as a middle! Plus, it’s not terribly easy attaching a family name to [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]/[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m], maybe, but I still don’t want to part with [name_m]Grant[/name_m] up front! I’m way too in love with [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Frederic[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m].
I love him, but he’s not really what I thought I was wanting for my [name_u]Avery[/name_u] combo, so I’m trying to set him aside and see if I can find something closer to what I was looking for (not sure I can define that, either, but since [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is quite popular for girls these days, a familiar boys’ name, especially Biblical classics, are what I’m looking at at this point). Maybe something simple enough to let [name_u]Avery[/name_u] shine, because I almost lose sight of all the things I love about [name_u]Avery[/name_u] when I look at [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m].
