Stuck, need help with ideas...

My husband and I are trying to figure out a middle name for our soon to be son who will be here the end of October. We have decided to stick with Levi as his first name and I like Parker as a middle name he likes Coyote. My husband is very animal oriented and wants our sons middle name to be an animal like our first son Xander Fox. I can't think of an animal that goes with Levi that isn't cheesy. Any ideas?

Coyote is definitely cheesy. If you really want to use an animal name, how about Wolf, Hawk, or Phoenix?

Wow, Coyote is pretty cheesy! I personally would put my foot down on this theme continuing ....what about a 3rd child? If I had to then I would probably go with a bird, Hawk or Falcon.

How about using a middle name with an animal meaning? For example:

Orson (bear)

Connal (wolf)

Griffin

Barrett (bear strength)

I like this idea a lot. One animal middle name is somewhat quirky, but it's the kind of thing that can get ridiculous fast.

Coyote is awful! There are definitely better options out there.

This. What if you have a third child and you have a girl? While a boy could get away with a mn like Fox, Hawk, or Falcon, I'm struggling to think what you would use for a girl. And besides that, three kids with animal middle names sounds a bit much.

I like the PP's suggestion of a name that has an animal meaning instead.

I think the animal MN trend can be cool, I just don't think Coyote is the right choice.

This. You've got to veto Coyote. That will be a funny story to tell him when he is older...dude, you were almost named Levi COYOTE!!!

Auberon is an interesting choice that also means "bear like"

Callum -dove

Channing -wolf cub

Conan - little wolf

Kennelly - decedent of wolf 

Lionel - young lion

Lowell - young wolf

Phelan - wolf

Hawk - that one is literal, but a much better choice than "coyote"

Hawk, Griffin, Colt, Drake (male duck), Tod (male fox), Heron, Jay (bird), Tom (turkey), Jack (male kangaroo), Joey (baby kangaroo)

For a possible future girl, you could use Lark, Mare, Kit, Fawn, Jill (female kangaroo)
