One syllable FN with LN

Name Advice

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband wants to name our DS [name_m]Ridge[/name_m]. I like the name well enough (and I feel like I don’t like any names :rofl:) but am 1. STUMPED on what to use as a middle name- it obviously needs to be longer because 2. Our last name is short, 1 syllable (Kuhn). I love short first names but worry about using them with our last name. Unfortunately I don’t like longer first names :sweat_smile: advice?

Also,

I’m not SUPER into naturey names in general, so what would be good sib sets for [name_m]Ridge[/name_m], considering our last name?

I think [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] is fine with your last name. It’s worked for [name_m]Tom[/name_m] [name_f]Cruise[/name_f], [name_m]Brad[/name_m] [name_m]Pitt[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u], etc.

[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]

I think [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] Kuhn is fine! And even cool. I wouldn’t worry too much about the single syllables. They’re more common than you think.

As for middles, maybe a simple [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] you could choose a nice family name. I agree, it should be longer than 1 syllable to balance the name, but even a simple two syllable name would work, like [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] Kuhn.

[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u],

I, too, think [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] Kuhn is perfectly fine, but I like the idea of a longer middle. Really, just any name you like with two syllables or more would be my vote. [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] [name_u]Beckham[/name_u] Kuhn came to mind.

Potential siblings that maybe aren’t super nature-y, but complement [name_m]Ridge[/name_m]:

[name_u]Bowen[/name_u]
[name_m]Brennon[/name_m]
[name_m]Cannon[/name_m]
[name_m]Garrison[/name_m]
[name_u]Hayden[/name_u]

I actually really wanted to name our DS [name_m]Warren[/name_m] but hubby didn’t want them to have the same name :sweat_smile::woman_shrugging:t3:

I actually love [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] but hubby only likes it for a girl! So definitely a possibility if #2 is a girl.
