To love or to leave this middle?

After falling in love with [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], finding a middle name has been the bane of my existence. DH and I can’t agree on anything and the names we do agree on we can’t use for one reason or another. I desperately want to keep [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] on the list for when we TTC and I think I might have finally found a middle!

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] has been stuck in my head for a week or so and I recently discovered that [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] means small. My brother [name_m]Paul[/name_m] passed away 2 years ago and [name_m]Paul[/name_m]/[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] share the same meaning. So it’d be an honor name of sorts.

So does [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] get the vote? Or should we continue looking?

*Vaughn would be pronounced v-aw-n. Similar sounding to John/Dawn/Lawn/Ron which are all pronounced the same where I live.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] a quick bump

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] is a wonderful name- unique without being odd, a lovely strong sound, and a great honour name. I say go for it if you love it!

I’m really hoping DH loves it! I feel like [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] grounds [name_m]Caspian[/name_m].

Yay! I really love more sensitive and strong sounding names, which can be quite the difficult feeling to get.

Would love more input

Sure, it works! I like the connection to your brother also.

I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] very much! I also like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] or [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m], which aren’t as unique as [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] but are classic “grounding” names.

I think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] is very handsome. It has a mix of spunk, unexpectedness, adventure, and is dignified.

I really like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]. Personally, I’d prefer [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m], but both are nice!

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] is great. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the link with [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and it’s a lovely sounding combo. I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] with a single syllable middle. Keeps it simple.
