Still searching for that perfect middle name for [name]Declan[/name]? I’m kind of looking for a one syllable middle name because our last name is 3 syllables. Other suggestions at definitely appreciated!!!
I’m not really liking [name]Jax[/name]. What about [name]Declan[/name] [name]Max[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Knox[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Fox[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Pax[/name], or [name]Declan[/name] [name]Rex[/name]?
I think I would keep looking beyond [name]Jax[/name].
Maybe
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Garth[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Brent[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Reed[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Cael[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Kent[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Ward[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Scott[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Roy[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Ross[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] is so sturdy and classic (Irish saint’s name) and [name]Jax[/name] is a modern invention, no? I’m not feeling it.
I love [name]Maple[/name]'s suggestion of [name]Declan[/name] [name]Pax[/name]. [name]Pax[/name] feels similarly rooted, since it’s Latin for peace.
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Jove[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Duff[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Cove[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Tate[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Heath[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Finn[/name]
What about [name]Declan[/name] [name]George[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] or [name]Declan[/name] [name]James[/name]?
I like [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]James[/name] with [name]Declan[/name]. I think [name]James[/name] is great with just about anything. [name]Thomas[/name] (though it does give you a 2/2 rhythm) sounds really dashing with [name]Declan[/name]. [name]Both[/name] names are crisp, polished and have a kind of silver bell clarity about them. [name]Declan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name].
Though perhaps I like it because it reminds me a little of [name]Dylan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]?
EDIT: 180% turn. I was totally falling asleep when I wrote that post about Declan and Oliver being incompatible. Disregard it! I should be more careful about Nameberrying while sleepy. There is nothing wrong with Declan Oliver, in fact it’s great. Sorry! James, Thomas, Oliver - yes.
I like [name]Declan[/name] a lot, but I think [name]Jax[/name] kind of clashes with it. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that [name]Jax[/name] is a little too rock n’ roll for the down-to-earth, Irish [name]Declan[/name]. [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Luke[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Will[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Max[/name]
I also like [name]Declan[/name] [name]Tobias[/name], but [name]Tobias[/name] is 3 syllables, so I think that a 2-3-3 combination could a little too much name.
I could 100% get behind any of these OR [name]Declan[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]. My personal favorite is [name]Declan[/name] [name]George[/name].
[name]Rhys[/name]! thats the name I have picked for [name]Declan[/name] on my list
I second what the others have been saying. The feel of the two names doesn’t match well because of the differences in origin and age. Keep [name]Declan[/name] though. I love that name!
Thx for all your suggestions but haven’t found the one. [name]Declan[/name] [name]Grey[/name]? [name]Declan[/name] [name]Finn[/name]? [name]Declan[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] (husbands name)? [name]Declan[/name] [name]James[/name] sounds nice but don’t like DJ. What other ideas do you all have?
[name]Jameson[/name] was our other top name besides [name]Declan[/name]. What about [name]Declan[/name] [name]Jameson[/name]??? Too long??
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] works! I also like [name]Declan[/name] [name]Grey[/name].
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Finn[/name]/[name]Flynn[/name] has always been a favorite of mine.
Backing up [name]Declan[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Rhys[/name], and [name]Declan[/name] [name]Cole[/name] (for one syllable) as well
I think both [name]Declan[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Declan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] sound great as well, if they don’t clash with the long last.
Well, since his pop’s name is [name]Ryan[/name], you could do [name]Declan[/name] O’[name]Ryan[/name]. [name]Ryan[/name] means king… so maybe [name]Declan[/name] [name]Rex[/name] to borrow the x from [name]Jax[/name].
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Royal[/name]? - I have a soft spot for the name [name]Royal[/name], though I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Why not just change [name]Jax[/name] to the more legitmate [name]Jack[/name]? I love [name]Declan[/name] [name]Jack[/name]
I like a lot of these. [name]Declan[/name] [name]George[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Max[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Rex[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]Pax[/name]… [name]Jax[/name] just seems so modern and trendy, while [name]Declan[/name]'s a bit understated and timeless (I can imagine a gorgeous Irish guy of any age or era bearing the name [name]Declan[/name]!). I would probably opt for [name]Declan[/name] [name]Jack[/name], but I really really love [name]Declan[/name] [name]George[/name], too.
[name]Jax[/name] is a definite no for me, but it looks like we’ve already established that. I like many of pp’s suggestions, but out of your short list here, I’d say [name]Declan[/name] [name]Finn[/name] is the only one I can get behind, aside from [name]Declan[/name] [name]James[/name], which you have nixed. It would be nice to use husband’s name as a middle, but the -an endings together don’t work well.
I love [name]Declan[/name] [name]George[/name], personally.
