I love names and am constantly bugging my fiance about future kids names. We both fell in love with the name Cole for a boy however its a hard name to make a fit with a middle name. I threw out Coleton which he hated.. then I suggested Nicholas which I like and he sorta likes.. today he suggested making cole the middle name and calling him that..

so hes the options....

Nicholas Patrick "cole"
Nicholas Edward "cole"

or...

Philip Cole "cole" - Philip is my fiances name a name ive always loved but crossed off bc well its my future husbands name and I dont like the whole junior thing..

Do you think its silly to name a kid with one name but call him his middle name?
and do the combos sound ok?

I love the idea of Cole coming from Nicholas! Cole is a great name, but it always feels a little incomplete to me, so using it as a nickname for Nicholas is great.

Honestly, I do think it's weird when people go by their middle names. Well, unless the person decided they hated their first name and so they chose to go by their middle name. But I don't like it when parents name their child and then decide that they'll go by their middle name. It just doesn't make sense. Name them what you want them to go by.
