Trying to decide on a boy's name for our second son. I really like the two syllable first name - one syllable middle name - two syllable last name arrangment...for example, Thomas (fn) James (mn) Lucas (ln). We've (tentatively) decided on the first name Drew so I'm kind of stuck on trying to find a good middle name since it doesn't follow my syllable sequence. Any suggestions??

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Drew Alexander was born on June 28th! Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We loved the name Drew so we decided on a longer syllable middle name.

A lot of people in my family go by their middle names -- could you use Drew as a middle but have him go by it all the time? It does make things a little tricky sometimes, but it's not that big of a problem.

you could name him Andrew but call him drew. then you'd have your sequence back. and he'd have the option to go with a more formal name when he's older if he wanted. of course, you also run the risk of him being Andy, so you'd need to like that too.

I would also do Andrew and call him Drew. I like James, jack, and John..then you could call him AJ also if you wanted (or if he wants). I also like Blake, Charles, dean, dain, Kyle, mark, Nate, Paul, Tate, and will. My favorite two syllable name is Ryan or Nathan (Nate)! And as much as I love the name drew (I really do!) not so sure that drew Lucas has much of a "ring" to it.

Hey Ana,

If you're thinking about rhythm, how about a three-syllable middle name? I like the single/triple/double sound. I can't think of a bunch of examples off the bat, but just to give you a feel for the rhythm--Drew Phineas Lucas or Drew Oliver Lucas or Drew Lexington Lucas. Again--I'm not suggesting those middle names necessarily--just giving you a possible alternate rhythm pattern. Good luck!

Drew is very handsome!

You're looking for a combo of 3 names, right? So he'll have 2 middle names? How about:

Drew Henry John
Drew William Jack
Drew Emmett Blake
Drew Owen Grey
Drew Quentin Graham
Drew Bennett Reed

I've tried to stick to classic English names with a bit of a literary feel, since that seems to be your (wonderful) style. I hope this helps!

Ah, when you find a name you like that breaks your natural order, go with it. Maybe this son is meant to have a one syllable first name :-). Lovin' Drew!

So are you saying your last name has 2 syllables, like Lucas or are you going to give your kid 2 middle names? I really love the name Drew...but that is not 2 syllables. I would go with Drew...I knew a guy in HS who was named Drew and he was HOT. Middles names like Henry and William and lovely.
