Middle Name For Andrew?

RaisingJulian · October 2015

I posted this on the baby name board but didn't get very many suggestions. So I thought maybe I'd try here. I'll be 33 weeks on Thursday & after a lot of talking, arguing, going back & forth, my fiancé & I finally decided to name baby boy #2 Andrew! But now we're completely lost on a middle name. Our first's name is Julian Xadrian so I almost feel like Andrew should have a different middle name like his brother. But any name I hear is either to out there for me or doesn't sound good with our last name. My fiancé likes the more traditional/common names. But I'm more into the different/uncommon names. Julian was going to be named Xadrian until some members in the family couldn't pronounce it lol I would really appreciate any names any of you ladies are willing to give! Please and thank you!

Have you tried looking at BehindTheName? It's the most useful name website I've found. Or you could try googling for "themed" name lists like unusual names or literary names or names beginning with a specific letter. I found if you can narrow down the "type" of name you want, its a whole lot less overwhelming to start searching.
Also, the name board is usually hyper judgemental when it comes to anything even slightly unusual, I'm not surprised you had no luck over there.

My brothers name is Andrew Lawrence. And I've always liked it. It's traditional, but different because it doesn't get used very often.

I'm more for traditional names and I think these sound nice:

Andrew Michael
Andrew Arthur
Andrew Alexander
Andrew Thomas

It's a great first name!

I was looking for a kinda unusual but not crazy name for DS2 that worked well with DS1s name (River Allen) and after searching forever finally stumbled on Cole. We both love it. It's not a name I hear everyday ,actually I've never met a Cole so it was perfect. Cole Hudson. We were also set on going with the middle name Hail. But it didn't fit well with cole so we changed it. Obv you don't need my permission lol but your welcome to them if u like

Andrew is one of our boy names if one of the twins is a boy...good pick! We are using Joseph as the middle name.

Andrew Fitzwilliam
Andrew Shea
Andrew Jackson (if you're a history buff)
Andrew Collins
Andrew Willoughby

ETA: I'm obviously a Jane Austen fan...

Andrew James was my first thought, but I know it's a more traditional name. Andrew Harrison sounds nice to me and is somewhat unique.

I love you. Also, this is why DH vetos most of my suggestions.

I'm partial to Andrew Michael, but I also agree with the PPs who suggest searching for "unique name lists". Another option might be to look at names by meaning and find something that speaks to you.
