Middle name for James

kcjessieb

We've settled on James for a first name because we absolutely love the sound of it and it happens to be my dad's middle name.  Now we are looking for a middle name.  Here are the options:

James Isaac -- I simply like the sound of this one and wanted a middle name with a little pizzaz since the first name is so traditional.

James Murrow -- This is my MIL's maiden name and it won't continue past this generation since there are no boys in her family.

James Burch -- This is my maiden name.  I like the idea of using it, but also wonder if it'll be better to use it as a mn for a girl since it's a bit of a girl power move.

 I'm somewhat torn between going with a middle name that sounds good or going with one that has some meaning.

And, if it helps, our last name sounds like Henry.

I like James Murrow. It sounds good,has great meaning, and is a wonderful gift to MIL to use her maiden name for her grandson.

I second pp. James Murrow is different and has that pizzaz you were looking for. Plus it flows well.

I love the name James and I think it sounds really good with LOTS of middle names.  All of yours sound good.

James Isaac, definitely. I love Issac but probably won't use it because of how it sounds with my last name.

I would go with James Murrow if that is what you want to do. If you really don't there are so many names that would go with James.
