155 Unique Middle Names For Boys That Still Sound Familiar
You figured out his first name, but it's not over yet.
Picking a baby boy’s middle name can sometimes fade into the shadows as parents strive for the perfect baby name for a first name. Whether it’s for a baby boy or a baby girl, middle names offer both lots of space to be wildly creative or to pay homage to family history. When considering a baby boy’s middle name, some parents choose Mom’s maiden name or seek to appease family members hoping for a new namesake. Others prize uniqueness or simply aim for a boy’s middle name that sounds cool when said alongside the first name. They are especially handy when the need to scold arises (“William Bradley Pitt! You come over here this instant!”), or if you dream of your baby boy becoming a bestselling novelist.
At the end of the day, sometimes middle names do no more than occupy space on your kid’s birth certificate. So, take some creative license and choose a cool middle name for your baby boy without worrying about it too much. Do you secretly want to name your son after your favorite Star Wars character, but don’t want to saddle him with it for life? Use it for his middle name and keep schoolyard bullies at bay.
There are endless challenges and vexing decisions you’ll face as a parent, so enjoy the process of finding your baby boy’s middle name as much as possible. The unique middle names for boys below are an excellent place to start your search.
