I just can´t think of a middle name

I guess if I don?t find one I really love, I could make him a traditional Mexican lol. They don?t have middle names, just two last names - their father?s then mother?s.

We?re about 99% sure his name is Gabriel. In fact make that 100. And I almost kinda like Gabriel Valentin (Valenteen) which was DH?s suggestion. 

But I don?t LOVE it. I did at first and now I?m not so sure and I really haven?t seen any other middle names I like. 

This was so much easier when I thought he was a girl lol I had like five names lined up.

Suggestions?

I like it. 

With your last name I think Gabriel sounds better with a middle name.

Keep brainstorming. You'll find something you both love

We are in the same pickle. We have our girls name set with both first and middle but we only have a first for a boy.

If it is a boy he will be Greyson. I really like Greyson Christopher which is DH's first name but DH feels that it is narcissistic to name the baby after him. 

I toss out names all the time...

Daniel, Matthew, Alexander, Elliott, Michael and the list goes on. But none of them are catching DH's interest. Is he helping to come up with ideas???? Big Fat Nope!

So I feel your pain but I really like what you suggested.

MsZoeB-Our top boy name is Grayson too...but the middle names are hard! My DH is Christopher so that is what I suggested...but I think we are going with William as a middle name.

Boy names are hard! I LOVE Gabriel! That is such a beautiful name but DH won't let me use it for our LO...Good luck with the middle name thing..I don't really have suggestions for Gabriel. My cousin is Gabriel and his middle name is Aaron...but I don't think that goes that well.

The first thing that popped into my head was Carter.  Not sure if that is your style though.  Good luck!

I don't think you have to love a middle name. I settled on a family mn that DH really wanted, after I realized it doesn't really matter. No one calls them by that name. So if you like Valentin, I say run with it unless you come across something you like better.

How many syllables does your last name have?

And, muy importante, I am assuming Gabriel will be with the Spanish pronounciation, right?

I kind of like Gabriel Valentin, but I need answers to these two crucial questions before I can fully judge/brainstorm.

2 syllables. I?m not shy, it?s Franco. (Fraahnco, not Franko lol)

Yep, I think it?s prettier the Spanish way, but he?ll be called the English way too. Gabe will be his nickname.

I love Gabriel the Spanish way.  Actually, whoever had the relative named Gabriel Aaron, that combo sounds pretty good with your last name with both pronounced the Spanish way. 

Ok, putting my thinking cap on...

Would you consider using your maiden name as a middle name?

Ok, another question, are you going for Spanish names or non-Spanish names?

You can always go with frijol brincador...
