Hi momma's!

I have been thinking a lot about baby boy names, and my husband and I are both IN LOVE with the name Emmett. The only problem is neither of us can think of a great middle name to go with it.
His last name will be Moore :)

Any thoughts?

What can I do next?

I love the name Emmett. It's not very common. We knew a little Emmett about 20 years ago and he was such a doll. That's the only kid I ever knew with that name.
There are lots of middle names that will go well with it.

Best wishes!

Is there a family traditional name on either side? For each of our boys we picked a name we loved for the first name and a traditional family name as the middle name. I remember how proud my grandpa was when we told him our son's middle name would be the same as his. He called every one bragging about how we where naming the baby after him :)

Since Emmett seems to be a classic name, I think it needs a classic middle name to go with it. Here are some for you to toss about:

Emmett Robert Moore
Emmett Michael Moore
Emmett Charles Moore
Emmett James Moore
Emmett Bradford Moore
Emmett Daniel Moore
Emmett Thomas Moore
Emmett Ross Moore

I'm sure that you'll get some other clever name combinations from the other mommies as well. Good luck choosing one!

Hi, we are having our 3rd boy today or tomorrow, so I almost didn't want to post this .... but you are in another state and it's a middle name :-) One of my fav. middle names that is on our "short list" to take to the hospital is Grayson, or Greyson. Good luck!

Emmett John Moore has a nice ring to it.
Personally, I like names that have a meaning, such a family members first or middle name - but sometimes that criteria doesnt give alot of appealing choices! Go through the full names of family on both sides and see if anything works with Emmett Moore. Consider even maiden last names. I have a brother in law, his middle name is Coleman, which is his mother's maiden name.
I would consider what his initials will be, with whatever middle name you choose.
Also to consider is how streamlined you and your husband are, will you be happier with a simple middle name, like John.... or will you venture to something more original and out there? The internet may provide you some name lists to compare through as well.
Good luck! it can be a challenging task to come up with the perfect name for your perfect child and it is a label they will carry till they die, so make sure it is a good one!! (no pressure there, right?) :~)

I love that name!! I'm a fan of Emmett Daniel... but they are all really nice. I just want to make sure that you know that Emmitt Smith is a NFL Hall of Fame popular football player/star. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw Emmett Smith... My husband would never have known this... he has never followed football... but I have grown up with football. Just want to make sure that you are aware of this... not that it means you shouldn't choose it.

I like Emmett a lot. I have an uncle and a cousin with that name. Do you like David for the middle name? What is your husband's first or middle name? It is nice to have a family name as a middle name.

What about an old family name from either side of your family? We try to think of names with meanings that we like. My son has my maiden name as his middle name. Good luck!

Who needs a middle name any way? Less to write & will make him original.

is there a letter that you want to use? I think that many middle names would work - but more info about the types of names that you and your husband prefer/specific letter, etc might be helpful! A few favorites...Harley, Nathaniel, Franklin, Harrison, Hanley.
