Middle name- help!

my husband and I cannot decide on a middle name for our son (to be born June 10th). His first name will be Xander, last name is similar to Longenwater. We have a few family names we are thinking of, but I'm open to anything that sounds good. Here's what we're thinking:
Xander Lee (daddy's middle name)
Xander Ray (papas middle name)
Xander David (uncles name)
Xander Alex (4 year old sister picked this one and we strangely like it)
Xander Allen (papas name)
Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

Re: Middle name- help!

  • I like Lee bc it ties into your DH's name

    Its a tradition in my husband's family to use the dads first name as the middle. We didn't do this bc I had twin boys (who would I choose to have that). Or another tradition is using your maiden name as the middle.

    Personally, I feel that the middle name should have signifigance (just my preference). One of my sons is named after DHs maternal grandfather, and my other is named after my Dad. My daughter will either be our sisters (both have the same name) or a close family friend that was like a grandmother to me.

  • Xander Lee (daddy's middle name) - I like this as it ties to Daddy :)
    Xander Ray (papas middle name) - This one is ok
    Xander David (uncles name) - seems like a mouthful
    Xander Alex (4 year old sister picked this one and we strangely like it) - Cute that sister picked it but maybe too many x's?
    Xander Allen (papas name) - cute

  • I like Xander Lee the best. I'm not so sure about Xander Alex because it sounds like you just switched up the name 'Alexander' lol
