Smile Please help name my child!

My husband and I are adopting our 3 foster children in 41 days! (Not that I'm counting or anything... ;-)

We have decided to change all of their middle names and have decided on the middle names for our 6-yr old son and our 3-yr old daughter. The trouble we're having is with our 2-yr old son, Nicholas.

I'm particularly partial to biblical names and had I been able to have my own bio son I would have named him Elijah. However I don't feel that "Nicholas Elijah" flows. My sister is pulling for "Nicholas Josiah" but here again, it doesn't feel like that flows. Our last name is 2 syllables so that would be a total of 8 syllables for his full name.

What do you think? Do you know of any middle names that flow nicely with Nicholas??

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks!!

How about Nicolas Isiah (SP?) It is a biblical middle name, but not all that common.

Hi,

I think Nicholas Elijah flows nicely (of course I don't know your last name). You could always change his name to Elijah Nicholas and keep calling him Nicholas, just another thought in case you think that would flow better.

I agree with above reply- I love Nicholas Elijah- I think it flows very well. And I love the name.

I just wanted to add that I love Nicholas Elijah also, I think it flows well. It sounds like a very strong name.

Another suggestion would be Nicholas Asher. It is from the Bible and it means "happy."

I read the first sentence and Nicholas Eli or Nicholas Elijah came to mind. Then I kept reading and saw the rest of the message which had Elijah. lol.

I know a litlle boy at work, I am an Elementary School teacher, his name is Nicholas Hunter. Not biblical, but I always thought it was cute.
