I'm revisiting my name book because Husband and I can't agree on a name yet (we still have 2 months), but we are having our third boy (Colton and Joshua (JD) are our first two). We had perhaps compromised on Parker out of a 3 name list that we had narrowed down to (Parker, Harrison Austin), but then we watched The Hobbit and I fell in love with Thorin.

He's not in love with it, like I am, and I don't want to give the idea of it up, but it's definitely pushed Parker out, I really hate the fact that Parker's meaning is Park Keeper. We already of Colton which means, from Coal Town...

Here's my remade list, since we are starting over. My husband won't really bring names up, and I've stopped talking to him about it until the baby is born, hoping he'll just know that I love Thorin and settle on it. HAha.

Thorin (bold, daring one)
Jude (Praised)
Harrison (Not in love with the meaning.. Son of Harry)
Roman (Citizen of Rome- another I am not in love with the meaning)
Nathaniel (Gift of God)
Jace (the lord is salvation)
Xavier (Bright)
Parker (Park keeper)
Charles (Free Man)
Matthew (Gift of God)
James (Supplanter)
Alexander (defending men)
William (Resolute Protector)
Augustus (Great, Magnificent)

Our last name is Gray. We don't have a middle name picked out (though I prefer James or Alexander if Thorin was chosen as the first name). I may have to settle on Thorin as a middle name, if so, which is the best sounding first name? Or are you of the opinion that middle names and first names don't really need to sound good together?

I agree, I don't think the middle and first names should have the same sounding ending. So if Thorin was the first name nothing with -an or -in or -on as the ending for the middle name.
