Okay, We are down to Isaac or Josiah. If we name him Isaac, it will be Isaac Josiah. If we name him Josiah, we don't have a middle name yet because I'm not sure if Josiah Isaac flows well. I like Caleb, maybe Alexandar, or James as middle names. Suggestions are welcome for those that pick Josiah.

It's up to you of course but I personally think that the two "I" sounds make Josiah Isaac not flow well. I think it would sound better to have a second name that begins with a consonant, and doesn't contain the "I" sound. My reasoning for that is that two vowel sounds sound a bit awkward together - and though Josiah ends with the letter H, the sound that it ends with is a vowel sound.

I guess you didn't like my suggestion of Daniel as a second name, so how about Josiah Solomon?

I don't mind Josiah Daniel, but Dh hasn't told me if he liked it.

I obviously don't know how they would sound with your last name, but I like Josiah James and Josiah Alexander.

I like Josiah Caleb. Personally I don't like either the 2 vowel sounds or 2 hard consonants back to back. It never flows right to my ears.

Our last name starts with a "Cru" sound and is two syllables.

Still like Josiah Caleb. Middle to last name flow is important too, but not as much for me. So do your other kids have any ideas? I know that can be a dangerous road! But I am curious.

Kris

ETA: I think pretty much any of your middle names work with the beginning of your last name.

They like Isaac better, but we are not deciding on this as a family like we did with the last baby.

I like this one too...with your last name it fits well sound wise and syllable wise.

Josiah was in the final two of names for our fourth. We went with Jackson instead (my Grandpa's first name). However, it would have been Josiah Anthony.

I understand that you aren't making this name a family call. But at least your kids like good names! I was just curious. I don't think I could let kids decide - even if they had to choose from pre-approved ones.

I like Josiah of the two. However, I was one of the ones who liked Caleb in the other poll.

Josiah James sounds too much like Jesse James.

I prefer the name Isaac. But, if your last name that begins with the sound "CRU" starts with a "K", his initials would be I. J. K. That's a bit too alphabetical for my taste. &:)

Josiah Mark is nice.

I like Josiah Samuel but that's a lot of syllables.

umm...she put the first three letters of her name, so it isn't K (just sounds like K)
