As all of our children except one has two middle names, I need help for a second middle name for the new baby. We have decided on a first and a middle, but need another middle. Could come before of after our chosen, it doesn't matter but we don't want to get tounge tied With the fathers Last name that starts with L.

The names we chose are Gabriel Luis.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Luis is the name version of my mothers middle name. The first is just one we like. I wouldn't mind just the two but the father insist since the other two have double middle names that this one should too. Not like I wanted baby girl to have her second middle name since it is a boys middle name. But this is what the father wants.

I would suggest adding some name of significance. Grandfather's names, Mom's maiden name. Something of that sort would be sentimental as well.

Placement of the two middle can be easily switched to whichever hits the ear right along with the last name.

If you are religious open the Bible and get some strong names.

Israel
Micah
Isaiah

Why do you have to have two middle names? If you are doing it for family then use a family name - if you are doing it to do it? Really? I would just go with Gabriel Luis - which I think is a great name!! Stop over thinking things and making it complicated for your kids.

Cute names :)

My friends who have double middle names do so for religious reasons (Catholic - so like Mary, or Joseph..) or have to include family names.

That would be my suggestion. If you've picked two names you just like (very nice by the way) then how about honoring someone?

Or did you? Seems to me I remember someone asking about Luis before in another question .. maybe that was you :)

Anyways, that's the way I would go. We did in our family and kids like having family names (the names were ones they can live with though!).

Good luck :)

How about an old family name? How about a name that comes from a specific place that has meaning to you? How about the name of a friend or family member who you want to remember/honor? Some names I like: Monty, Oliver, Henry, Colin, Daniel, James, Adam, Garret, Thomas, Curt, Benjamin, Matthew, Anthony (Antonio), Shawn, Kai, Dylan, Ryan. Good luck!

A couple of my friends name their children the mom's maiden name as their second middle name. I guess it's a Canadian thing...

A few of my grand kids have 4 names and it's okay, not everyone has that. They like being special.
