Ok...here is the thing. We have a baby boy coming here shortly. We have a first name picked out and we dont have a middle name. Every middle name I find that I like, doesnt go good with the first name either that or it doesnt go good with the last name. And the ones that I do like, my fiance doesnt lol!! I decided I will pick out a few names and pick one out of them and that will be the middle name even if my fiance doesnt like it, meaning how im the one that carries him for 9 months and delivers him...9 months(then labor and delivery) of pain and discomfort of some sort lmao!! I am going to list the names and it would be a big help if you guys could go through and let me know which you think sounds better! Also, if you have any other suggestions, please dont hesitate to let me know!!! We are stumped!!!!

1. Mason Mani Parker
2. Mason Malloy Parker
3. Mason Marcell Parker
4. Mason Markell Parker
5. Mason Exavier Parker
6. Mason Amanual Parker
7. Mason Lane Parker
8. Mason Ackley Parker
9. Mason Aaron Parker
10. Mason Noah Parker
11. Mason Alexander Parker

With my daughter I had a pool of names to choose from and tehn let my husband pick from those. I had Kimberleigh Dawn and Elizabeth Rose in the pool ,but my ex husband chose Kimberleigh Rose. That way we both had some choice. We actually had about 6 first and middle name combinations to choose from that we were both sort of ok with. Or maybe you could choose teh first name and let him choose the middle name.

I agree with another person that the double M is too much. I think Mason Exavier or Mason Alexander sounds great. Alexander goes well with the first name and the last name. Another one that would sound nice is Andrew..just my opinion..Mason Andrew Parker. Good luck in choosing your name and congratulations to you. :) L.

I like Mason Malloy or Mason Marcell myself. I think the two syllables in the first, middle, and last name makes the name sound better when said outloud.
Also, I have a son named Xavier Warren. Well, it is the same as Exavier....but I thought I would mention the different spelling.

Hi! I think you have a great list of names. I read in a book once that a good way to pick out a name is to go to the back door and holler out the names. Have the neighbors listen and see which one sounds the best. Because believe me you WILL use the full name more than you think!! :) I also like the name Mason Alexander but have you thought about Alexander Mason and he can still go by Mason. Just some thoughts. Please keep us posted about what name you decide on!! Good luck and Congrats!!

I think you should steer clear of double M's. My fave from your list is Mason Alexander. (Alexander is the middle name I wanted to use for my first son, but a first name of Jason was already picked, and I didn't want to always be thinking of that tubby little guy from Seinfeld, heehee!)
Exavier is also a good one, but that's a heavy name to pin on a baby. The way my dh picked his fave names was to use the following phrase, and insert different full names:
"(Insert name here), get your butt over here!"
It worked for him, heh. Good luck, and good wishes for a quick delivery!!

Oh WOW talk about close birthdays. Mason is a cute name.

With my youngest I used a green highlighter and Dad used a yellow highlighter, and we took turns going through the baby name book. The ones that we both liked became his name.

Here are some that I came up for you.

Mason James Parker
Mason Zane Parker
Mason Lee Parker
Mason Brock Parker
Mason Reese Parker
Mason Karl Parker

I do think Mason Aaron Parker is a great name. But then again I just love the name Aaron. My youngest middle name is Aarron. Mason Noah Parker sounds good to!

Are there any family names that you could pass on? We have used an uncle's name, and a couple of grandmothers names. Using then for middle names makes it a little easier to pick one, and it always has a nice story to it.

I like Mason Alexander, but quite frankly I think it will be insignificant once your baby is born. Once he is, and you look at him, it won't matter to you what you call him, as he'll be such a miracle. I do think it is important that you and your fiance agree on names. Why is he not your husband? You need to be sure that your son has a committed father...Best wishes. And, always believe and trust in your gut instints. They will serve you well!

I like these 4. They have a great "uh oh, I'm really in trouble cause my mom used my full name" feeling. Plus they have a good roll off the tongue when you scream them. (I'm not saying you would ever scream at your kids but you might find them at a party when they are teens feel the urge to overcome the music.) Think how they will sound being read at graduation, or at the Emmys

There are a few other ways to find a name, use your maiden name as a middle name, your mother's, his mothers, a grandmother's or his middle name, grandpa's first or middle name.

I like Mason Alexander Parker myself, but I'm sure the closer it gets, a name will just click with you and it will be the right one. :) I was so sure my first was going to be a boy that I didn't pick a girl's name until a week before "she" was born....Dawn Marie (Marie was my Mom's middle name)..then came my son and he is a Jr. so that was easy! My son named his son Elijah Bain. I had never heard the name Bain before, but I like it and I think it goes good with Elijah. He found it in a baby name book. How about Mason Joseph Parker? Or Mason Scott Parker...Mason Reid Parker...Mason Kyle Parker...to throw a few out there. :) Good luck and Congrats on the new bundle of joy coming soon!

T.,
I would pick Mason Aaron Parker. Have you thought of a name from your family to be the middle name? I have 3 kids and I chose to do family names. Like my son he is named after Zachary Taylor one of the presidents that I am related to on my mothers side, John Hart one of the men that signed the Decleration of Independence that I am related to on my fathers side. My daughter is named after Zachary Taylor once again along with it being my mothers maiden name, her middle name is mine along with her great great grandmother. And out youngest is named after his father so he is a Jr. So I have Zachary John, Taylor Neel, and Albert Jr. Not sure if this helps but anyhow I hope you let us all know what you decide to than your new little boy.

I like number 11, Mason Alexander Parker. I'm not sure if this idea will help you or not. My husband and I are having a little boy on the 20th. My sons first name will be John, which is my father's name, and then his middle name will be my husbands first name "Chirstopher", resulting in John Christopher Walls. It's a tradition in my family. Maybe this suggestion will help you two come up with some ideas for a name which you both could agree upon.

answers from Rockford on

May I give you a recommendation. The first thing I learned about naming a baby, was it just never sounded right if the Middle name was shorter then the first name, unless the first name was already very long. Me personally, I like to see unique names for Babies now. My son's name is common, but it is spelled different (Like mine, my niece, and so on). I named my son Arik James. And as a nickname we called him A.J. My name is spelled differently too.
I honest think that one of the Middle names that you pick should be longer then the first name, because it just doesn't sound right shorter.
Most in my family have 2 middle names, have you considered that as an option too. Like my First Middle name is shorter then my first name. But my Second Middle name is longer. K. Marie Elizabeth (Embarressed to say). My Brother had his first names then his 2 middle names were the first names of both his grandfathers. Timothy William Norman, and my sister, Jennifer Jane Delores. Jane being our grandmother, and Delores being our great grandmother.

To shorten this up a bit, the shorter middle names just don't seem to sound right. My vote would be on the Mason Alexander Parker! Good luck to you dear.
