Help with middle name please

mickeymousemama · November 2017

We've long since decided on James as a first name, but we're still stuck on the middle name. Do we go with a family name? Do we go with something more modern or unique?

Here's the options that we've come up with, in no particular order:
James Ward
James Killian
James Patrick
James Buchanan

We're looking for a name that makes a good first impression. Basically if you saw his name on a resume or guest list and knew nothing else about him, what kind of person would you imagine him to be just based off his name?

We're still open to other options if you have any suggestions. Another thought would be to use 2 middle names, so James Patrick Ward for example, but would that be too much? Has anyone given their baby 2 middle names before or know of any downsides to doing that?

If we saw his name on a guest list? You're trying too hard.

btw, there is a board specifically for these questions....ironically, it's called "Baby Names"....
