We have decided on the name [name_m]Truman[/name_m] for the first name spot which is a family name on my side. Trying to decide between middle names [name_u]Jesse[/name_u], [name_u]Lee[/name_u], or [name_u]John[/name_u].
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] and [name_u]Lee[/name_u] are both family names on my husbands side. [name_u]John[/name_u] is just a name we both like. [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] is probably the most meaningful combo but I don’t think it flows super great. [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is my husbands middle name. Which do you think?
I think meaning trumps flow almost every time. If [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] means the most, it’s definitely got my vote. Otherwise, [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] to honor your husband is very nice.
I’ll have to say I agree with you. Unfortunately [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] does not really fit the aesthetic or sound of [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. Either of the others are fine with it. Perhaps you’ll get the opportunity to use [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] another time in the future. Especially since it works for a boy or a girl
[name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] definitely sounds best to my ears, but if you’d prefer the most meaningful choice I’d go with [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] regardless!
[name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] is actually my favorite from the bunch (and I’m usually a stickler for combos to flow well)! If it helps to consider, you likely won’t be saying the first and middle name together often. For what it’s worth, I think the flow is pretty good!
[name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would probably be [name_u]Lee[/name_u].
I don’t usually love [name_u]Lee[/name_u], but [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is so amazing! I also really like [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_u]John[/name_u]. [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] isn’t really for me, although it is beautiful with [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. You really can’t go wrong here!
