My fiance and I are having problems coming up with middle names to go with the first names we have picked so I thought I would get some suggestions from yall. We have chosen Addison for a girl and Aaron for a boy. Please let me know your thoughts.

What can I do next?

My brothers name is Aaron (love that name) and his middle name is Thomas. Christopher would go nicely with it too. Love the name Addison also. Maybe a good middle name would be Grace. Congrats!

This is a tradition in my culture that we've followed for generations. We give our children their mother's maiden name as their middle name. (So, your child would have your maiden name as his/her middle name.) It's a nice reminder that he/she has two families to carry the names of.

Good luck with whatever name you choose!

My friend's daughter is Addison Faith. It's cute and less common than Grace. I have two girls, but if they would have been boys their names would have been Breelyn and Ryder or Rylan.

I like the idea of naming them after family or using a last name as a middle name. It could be your mother's maiden name as their middle name. Middle names are a nice way to connect them with their elders.

Mine kids middle names are all family member names (Edward, Rose, Antonette) .... hope that helps! Congrats and best wishes for an easy delivery!
