What's a middle name that goes with James? The last name is French, two syllables, ends with the "eau" ("oh") sound. No middle names sound right to me.

And while we're at it, what do you think of it? Suddenly I'm in love. It's my husband's middle name, classic (though unfortunately common), and I think it's just plain nice. I do not like the nicknames Jim/Jimmy though.

My first thought would be Alexander.

And it's funny, because my last name (while probably different) fits your description, and I have an uncle named James. His middle name is Louis (LOO-ee, not LOO-is). I think that sounds good as well.

James Donald, James Lucas, James Dylan, James Elliott, James Dante, James Elias, James Daniel, James Owen, James Hunter

Alexander was my thought too. Something with four syllables will help the rhythm.

I agree with needing 3+ syllables. I can't come up with any other than Alexander.

Then he could be J.R. for a nickname if you liked that better than Jim or Jimmy.

James is a little too boring for my own taste, but it's a good name! You can't go wrong with it =)
