Which middle name combo for FN's Blair and Barnaby?

Boy Names

[name]Just[/name] starting to actually work on my boy name list. I am wondering which middle names sound best to go with the first names [name]Blair[/name] and [name]Barnaby[/name]. I typically, like with my girls, do one Japanese middle name, and the other of any origin. It’s a pattern for siblings that I don’t think is too matchy.

So, pick the one you like the most for each name (or can most tolerate at least):

[name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Hector[/name] [name]Akio[/name]
[name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Atlas[/name] [name]Akio[/name]
[name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Garrett[/name] [name]Akio[/name]

[name]Blair[/name] Haruhiko [name]Paul[/name]
[name]Blair[/name] Haruhiko [name]Wesley[/name]
[name]Blair[/name] Masamune [name]Paul[/name]

Pronunciations:
[name]Akio[/name]: ah-kee-O
Haruhiko: har-roo-hee-ko
Masamune: mass-uh-moo-nay

[name]Blair[/name] Masamune [name]Paul[/name] works best for me. I can’t take [name]Barnaby[/name] too seriously I’m afraid as I am used to it being a bear’s name - a children’s programme in the UK? And I know a [name]Barnaby[/name] and he had a really tough time at school with his name…[name]Just[/name] my thoughts.

caspar1: Thanks for the vote. I am from the US so I’m afraid the tv program wouldn’t be an association over here; I’m not worried about [name]Barnaby[/name].
