More middle name suggestions for Solomon?

My husband was out of state for a family emergency for most of the week, and when he came back he said that his family really liked my top choice of Solomon over his top choice. Which has made Solomon bump up on his list. However, he still is not a fan of my absolute favorite combo, Solomon Ames.

I just ADORE Solomon Ames. I think it looks visually cohesive and also flows well together when spoken with our last name. My husband isn’t a fan but I am not giving up… because the man literally cannot remember what he says or thinks about a name until I read to him what I wrote in quotation marks the last time we talked about his opinions on names.

He suggested Solomon Fletcher and I just…. I don’t feel like it flows and they feel like completely mismatched to me. :woman_shrugging:

I’m having a hard time coming up with middles I love as much as Ames. Here are a few I’ve jotted down, but please throw some opinions and new ideas at me!

Solomon Ames​:heart::heart::heart:

Solomon James :slightly_smiling_face: ( this could be somewhat of a nod to my husband’s stepdad and sounds similar to my favorite Ames. I just don’t love It because it has become so common and doesn’t feel as special to me as Ames does. And I went to school with a James who really tainted the name for me.)

Solomon Francis

Solomon Cedric❤️ (might be too much with a last name starting with S)

Solomon Finch :heart::heart: ( I LOVE Finch. And I love that it’s sort of a little unexpected with Solomon and short and sweet to balance the longer first. My only reservation is that I love Frederic Finch and Felix Finch if we were to ever have another boy.)

Solomon Keats

Solomon Roeland

Solomon Ray (family name on my side)

Solomon Declan = “man of prayer”

Solomon Edwin

Solomon Edison

Solomon Ogden

Solomon Nolan

Solomon Anderson (family name on husband’s side)

Solomon Alexander

Solomon Clive (C.S. Lewis homage)

Solomon Clancy

Solomon Graham

Solomon Bernard

Solomon Barnaby

Solomon Frederick (want option of using Fredrick as a first name down the line?)

Solomon Rasmus

Solomon Ragnar

Solomon Bellamy

Solomon Ambrose

Solomon Fletcher (husband likes, I’m meh)

Solomon Birch

Solomon Van (My maiden name- now middle name- starts with Van and it was what my paternal grandfather was typically called. Love it as a nickname or even a first name. However, our first son shared a first name with the same grandfather so not sure if that would be weird?)

Solomon Vaughn :heart:

Solomon Jack - jack = god is gracious

Solomon Reeves

Solomon Abe

Solomon Elm

Solomon Gibbs

Solomon Morrisy

Solomon Ansel

Solomon Finnegan /Finn :slightly_smiling_face:

Solomon Vincent

I don’t like repeat sounds so I like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Clive[/name_m] (YES C.S. Lewis), and [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] the best.

You could maybe also go with [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] for the C.S. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] homage? That way you still get the ending sound of [name_u]Ames[/name_u]?

A friend (who is on the fence about having kids herself) asked about names we are considering and when I mentioned [name_u]Finch[/name_u] as a middle name she told me “Oh I love [name_u]Finch[/name_u]! I’m totally adding that to my name list!”.
I immediately felt super defensive, like, wait wait wait, what if I want to use it?? :joy:[name_m]Bow[/name_m] I’m afraid if we don’t use it she will and I’ll be jealous.

I keep coming back to [name_u]Finch[/name_u], I just don’t know if I can convince my husband that it goes well with [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]? Does it flow okay? [name_u]Or[/name_u] seem too stylistically different?

I also like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] as a middle name because our first son’s middle is [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and I just feel like [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] would be cohesive middle names even though that’s a random thing to be concerned about? :joy::woman_shrugging:

Solomon Finch sounds very cool - I like it :slight_smile: It almost sounds like it could be a third sibling to Scout and Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird :person_shrugging: I think it flows

That’s a cute connection between them!

Maybe go for the best of both worlds so you both have a name you like [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_u]Ames[/name_u]?
You both get the names you want and it flows nicely to me.
