help with a single syllable middle name!

[V21]

So I think we have a bit of a shortlist. We don't know if we are having a boy or a girl, so have a shortlist for first names for both, but struggling with middle names. Our surname is v** d** B*****, hence the need for a shorter middle name!

First names for girls:

Freya
Guinevere
Eliana
Evelyn

So far the only single syllable middle name we have is Paige.

First names for boys:

Emrys
Elijah
Micah

We have Reid or Cade as middle names for boys, but DH isn't really sold on either.......

Thanks Ladies for your help

DH came home yesterday raving about a colleague's daughter's name...Jett. Could work for a boy too... I also liked PP suggestion of Mae. Cate?

Boys names are hard (Can you tell we've had trouble?! ), especially as it sounds like you like something a bit unusual (us too!). Can you shorten a longer name, or use part of a family name?
