7 days to go and no middle name

Ok so my c-section is scheduled for next Thursday and we still haven’t settled on a middle name. I struggled a little with my first DS middle name but not like this.
My husband is set on the first name and at this point so am I, I am just frustrated a little.
His first name is Blake… We have a couple middle names that we have kicked around just cant settle. The ones we have considered are Morgan, Cash, Lane, Steven and my mom has been actively trying to talk me into Dakota.
What do you think? Any other ideas? PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

Make a list of names & wait until he's born to see what would suit him.

That is actually kind of what I was thinking but everyone has been bugging me relentlessly and I think I just finally caved. :mellow:

 

I like Blake Alexander.

 

Blake Chandler
Blake Topher
Blake Xavier (pronounced with a Z sound)
Blake Finnley

 

Here's what I found in the "Baby Name Wizard" - the following middle names are brother names (related names) for Blake:

Blake Bryce
Blake Chase
Blake Drew
Blake Devin
Blake Cole

The following are in the same category as Blake:

Baird, Baz, Beau, Beck, Blaine, Blaire, Blaise, Bond, Brant, Brent, Brett, Brice, Brooks, Bryce, Burke
Cade, Cal, Cale, Cash, Chance, Chase, Chaz, Clay, Clint, Clive, Cole, Colt
Dane, Dax, Dean, Dex, Drake, Drew
Finn, Flynn
Gage, Glyn, Graeme, Grant
Hale, Hart, Hart, Hayes, Heath
Jace, Jair, Jett, Joss, Jude
Kai, Kane, Keane, Keir
Lance, Lane, Lee, Leif, Luke
Mace, Max
Nash
Pierce, Piers
Quinn
Rand, Reese, Reid, Rex, Rhett, Rhys, Ross, Royce, Rune, Ryne
Sage, Shane, Shay, Spence
Taft, Tate, Teague, Thane, Till, Trace, Trent, Trey, Ty
Van, Vance, Vaughn, Von
Wade, Wyatt, Wynn
Zane

My personal favorites are Blake Grant, Blake Gage, Blake Hale, Blake Kai, Blake Kane, Blake Lance, Blake Pierce, Blake Quinn, Blake Reese, and Blake Trent. Hope this helps!

 

I think it depends on how many syllables your last name has.... If your last name is also one syllable, then I think you really need to break it up with a 2 or 3 syllable middle name.. I always choose my name combinations, in particular the middle name, for how it flows with the rest of the name... the syllables have to sound right. With a one syllable first name, I think most of the time a 2 or 3 syllable middle name will sound best. When the first name has 2 or 3 syllables then a middle name with one syllable might sound better....

 

Out of the names you listed I like Blake Steven the best

Blake Matthew
Blake Adam
Blake Robert
Blake Edward
Blake Nicholas
Blake Alexander ( I know it was mentioned already, but wanted to show I like it)

 

I liked Blake Steven the best of those that you mentioned. I think a more traditional name would be best with the name Blake.

I also like:

Blake Patrick

Blake Edward

Blake William

Blake Joseph

 

I like

Blake Ryan

Blake Edward

Blake Alexander

Blake Daniel

Blake Austin

Oh,we didn't have a middle name for twin #2 until about 10 days after they were born! LOL! The problem was I had TOO MANY names I liked and couldn't decide on just one so FINALLY made dh choose one from my list! LOL!
Chloe REECE Lastname

 

I agree you need at least a 2 syllable middle name with a 1 syllable first name.

Blake Dakota is not a bad choice.

Ditto the pps thaat favor Blake Alexander.

Blake Finnley is not bad. either.
