boy middle name help

haleyjean84

My DS name is Holt Thomas M_______. Both are family names--Holt is from my maternal grandfather and Thomas is from DH's maternal grandfather. It's also DH's middle name. So now that we are having another boy, its important to give him at least one family name. I would like to name him after my dad's family since he isn't represented yet (boys have DH's father's last name, obviously).

So, we decided on Beau for the first name. Simple and not to common just like Holt. My dad's name is James Robert. Does Beau Robert work??? We are really struggling. James is also my sister's ex husband's name (dad goes by Jim), so I just don't think I can use it. Another idea is to use my maiden name (Henderson) for a middle name, but DH is against it.

I think Beau Robert works fine.
