Reid & ?

in Baby Names
I have a son Reid, and we are due in January and team green again. I've been focusing on boy names and still like Benjamin which was a contender last time too. I've really been liking Graham which was not on our radar at all last time. My only hesitation is the graham cracker reference, which I guess is not a big deal at all. My dh's only hangup is that he worries that Reid and Graham sound stuffy as a sibset. What do you think? Any suggestions for middle names? I'm considering Thomas which is my grandfather's middle names, but would be open to others that just sound good.

    I love Thomas as a first name- I think it is so cute on little boys, and then obviously works well for a grown man.

    Graham and Benjamin are both excellent choices, and I really wouldn't worry about the crackers. There are faaaaar worse associations out there! Graham and Reid is definitely not stuffy, IMO.

    Personally, I think you should use Thomas as your mn (unless you use it as a fn!) but other options would be:

    Benjamin Luke
    Benjamin Graham
    Benjamin Charles
    Benjamin August
    Benjamin Arthur

    Graham Theodore
    Graham Benjamin
    Graham Everett
    Graham Patrick

    I prefer Graham to Benjamin.

    Also, have you considered Grant?  Similar to Graham, but no "cracker" reference.

    I love both Graham and Benjamin and think both go fine with Thomas as a MN.  I wouldn't hesitate to use Graham.  The graham cracker reference doesn't bother me.

    I have a cousin with the first name Thomas (Tom) so I would want to use it in the middle name spot if I used it.

    I like Graham! Graham Thomas is nice and Graham and Reid make a nice sibset, not stuffy at all.

    When we names our son Reed, it was between Reed and Benjamin (Ben). I still like the name, but I love Graham!

    Our other DS is Pierce. Other names I like: Grant, Leo, Seth, Noel, Brooks

    We have a son named Grant and have one on the way. If it's a boy his name will be Reid. Grant and Reid.

    I think Reid and Graham are lovely together. They also sound very Southern to me. Is that your intention? If so, some other Southern names that would go with Reid are Davis, Carter, Owen, Jackson (nms), Rhett, Everett.....

    I really like Graham Thomas!
