Boy middle name help

brens623

Hi ladies

We're trying to narrow down names for LO.  I think right now we are leaning towards having 2 names going into the birth and going with whichever one "feels" right for LO.  I think our girl names are set:

Isabella Grace and Addison Grace

We have our boy names set but are really having trouble with a middle name for one.  DH's middle name is Lucas and so I really like Lucas with the name Snyder (out there I know but it's been our oddball that we fell in love with) although I have since decided that I would like to use the name Lucas for a first name because I like it so much so thats out (wouldn't want to use it later on for a first name if we already used it as a middle name)  To make things even more difficult we really want to use a saints name for a middle name.  I also like Snyder Steven (Dh's first name) but our last name starts with an S so I was worried that would be too many s's.  So I need some help!!!

Lucas James and Snyder ????

Just stick with Lucas James

Snyder is not a good first name

Why not do Snyder James?

I'm crossing my fingers that if you have a boy you'll go with Lucas anyway

I'm not a fan of either girl name (both are WAY too common), but if you stuck a gun to my head, I'd pick Isabella Grace... although I prefer Grace Isabelle. Definitely stick with Lucas James. Snyder is awful and reminds me of the janitor guy on "One Day at a Time" (it was his LN).

All of the above, especially the bolded.  Please don't give your son a janitor name.

FWIW, I dislike Snyder, but just like any really random name that you fall in love with, there will be lots of people that side-eye you for it.

 Other good saint names: Ambrose, Thomas, John

The character's last name was Schneider.

 I do hope you'll choose Lucas if it's a boy.  Snyder just sounds so unpleasant.

I much prefer Isabella to Addison. I agree with pp that Snyder has a very unpleasant sound to it. I can also just picture people calling him 'Snide' as a nn, which is awful. I really hope you go with Lucas, which is a great name.

Isabella is one of the most popular names in the country right now, which puts a bit of a damper on it for me.  Personally, I love Addison.  Also recently heard the name Adilee which is similar but more unique.

 Please don't use Snyder!  For one thing, it's a popular last name so that is going to be confusing right off the bat.  I even thought you were referring to it as a last name in your post at first.  Second, "snide" is defined as "maliciously derogatory".  Not a very good connotation to have associated with your DS.  He will have an uphill battle his whole life.  What about Strider instead?

I don't care for Snyder.
