I really like the sounds of [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Ralf[/name_m] and [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m].

[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m] definitely.

People will probably assume he’s named after the star wars character, hahah, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but is something you probably want to keep in mind if you’re really against that!

For middle names I’m a fan of [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Icarus[/name_m] and [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]. I’m not sure if the culture surrounding alcohol is the same in canada as it is in the us but all I can think of when I see Jaege is Jaegermeister, which is really popular among college kids here. (Though if you don’t mind the connotation, he could probably use it as bragging rights in college, while still having a good, strong name.)

The only possible additions I can think of to your list would be maybe [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] (jumping off of [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m], I just feel like it flows slightly better on its own, but last name would need to be taken into consideration) or [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Baer[/name_m], going with the animal theme?

Good luck finding a match that you both like!

Thanks for your post! I really like the idea of [name_m]Baer[/name_m]. I love the sound of [name_m]Icarus[/name_m] as a middle, I’m only hesitant because of the myth and it means “follower”, and [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] means “[name_f]Divine[/name_f] cauldron” in Norse so I’m worried about the name not having a nice meaning. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think that matters if we both like it? I also have a connection to it, it’s in the lyrics of my favourite [name_f]Joni[/name_f] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] song.
