Middle name help

[polly-purebred.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!

We've settled on the first name Joshua for our little guy who is due in March, but now we're stuck on a middle name. We were going to use David as that's my husband's middle name but that just feels like a cop-out choice.

We like the initials JP, so I'm looking for P-name suggestions. I'm not into any of the ones that have come to mind - Paul, Peter, Paolo or Percy. The only other one I can think of is Patrick, but that may be a bit cheesy as he's due on St Patrick's Day. =) My hubby is a big WWII buff (and a history professor) so we were toying with the middle name Patton after the general. However, we were vetoed by almost everyone we've talked to about that name.

Our last name is Stein if that helps with the flow.

TIA!

Well I suppose region really does make a big difference. I didn't really think of that. I know quite a few Joshes in Cincinnati, Ohio. ha. But one other thing I will say is that I love the way Joshua sounds, but it makes me sad that people shorten it to Josh. But I suppose that's the way with most names with more than one syllable. heh.
