[name_f]My[/name_f] best friend has been blessed with a miracle baby! She was told she could never have children and that her husband was sterile. Well now she’s 20 weeks pregnant and stumped on a boys name. Middle will be [name_u]James[/name_u]
She’s looking for something that is right in the middle between classic and modern/unique.
I would suggest looking up names that mean miracle or blessing. Also strong names.
[name_m]Oskar[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] nickname [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] would be my suggestion.
Names that mean miracle or blessed:
Aaron
[name_u]Asher[/name_u]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
I like these - mix of classic and modern with meaning!
Ezra was my first thought for classic and modern unique.
What about…
Alexander [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Foster[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Penn[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
LMK what you think!!
Gabriel? Sounds nice with [name_u]James[/name_u]. Classic but modern. Nickname [name_m]Gabe[/name_m] is strong but familiar. I thought of it because [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] was the angel who told [name_f]Mary[/name_f] she was going to be a mom!
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Finnian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennet[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
Archer [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Bennett[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
Ahh, what lovely news. [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] in dark times! 
With that in mind, I’d suggest Samson James. Ancient but modern-sounding, solid and handsome, and literally means “sun”.
Congratulations to your friend! 
Elias [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
I really like some of the suggestions
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Bennett[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
I will add:
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] ( [name_m]Mac[/name_m], [name_m]Ken[/name_m], MJ)
[name_m]Torin[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Davis[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Lawerence[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
I like [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] son’s middle name is [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. It means divine gift.
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] means “lucky, happy”! I think [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] would be an amazing choice!
I love the names [name_u]Asher[/name_u] and [name_u]Levi[/name_u] for a miracle baby! I’m going to suggest a few more:
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Hayden[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Christian[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
Oskar, [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_u]Asher[/name_u] & [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] are all good suggestions I think she might like.
I would only add perhaps…
Winston [name_u]James[/name_u] - [name_m]Winston[/name_m] means “joy stone” which to me represents joy & triumph after hard times.
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - a less common/less dated variant for the classic [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] (“gift of god”) here in USA at least.
