So me and hubby are trying to find a different name for our little boy that is due in January. His name was originally Alasdair Liam, but for some reason, I’m not a huge fan of Alasdair (Hubby wanted his name to be Alasdair), but I like the name Onyx, but we can’t seem to find a middle name that would go good with it. What middle names would you guys use with Onyx???

I always feel like I need to hear it with the last name, too, though, to decide.
Maybe go with a meaningful to you or your family, middle name? Almost anything can go with Onyx

Use the first name for his middle name onyx alasdair is cute
Onyx Asher, Onyx Reid, Onyx Alexander, Onyx Calum
Anthony, Alexander. I think a middle name starting with a vowel would have the best flow.
Naming children or Pokémon?
My nephews name is Onyxander(Onyx for short)
Onyx Alasdair or Onyx Liam

Things to consider: Onyx may be a difficult name for many to spell, and definately to pronounce. It could garner not-so-nice nicknames as well. Have you thought about the traditional spelling/use of Alastair instead of Alasdair? And Liam is an amazing name that is still “different” and somewhat rare nowadays. Maybe use that one as a first name or keep as the middle name? Hard to misspell or mispronounce that one…and it is a strong name! Something to consider as well…watch the first letters of the 1st, middle and last name to ensure they are not something inappropriate (poor kid has to go to school for many years, lol), and watch the syllables of each name. The first (should) sound phonetically compatible with the last name, as well as the entire name as a whole. Listen to the choices over and over because you guys will be calling him that for a LONG time. Remember no child wants a name they have to wait until 18 to change. Try to give names that someone would want, versus what the parents want only (just my two cents and experience). Have fun with it. Look up names in baby books. Write down the name on paper…does it look ridiculous or strong and gives a good impression? Does it honor someone we want to honor? I know many people don’t believe any of that matters…but it does. Just ask the kids/adults who have gone to court to change their names or who make sure they are called by their middle names or nicknames instead of what their parents labeled them.

Onyx. Really? Won’t get very far in life with that name. Prime Minister Onyx

We’ve done unique names as middle names for our sons.
We have Isaac Thor and our second will be Oscar (but middle name to be announced at birth)
We thought it best to have conventional first names for later in life (jobs etc) and our last name is very conventional too.
But still wanted to do something unique for the middle name
You can always call your child onyx, even if it’s his middle name.
Just another perspective

My boys are August and Rory, and their middle names are William and David. When my ex and I named them we didn’t really care if the first names and middle matched. I mean obviously you want it to sound nice but it doesn’t have to completely go together and be a theme. Lol if anything, cause someone mentioned the possibility of the kid being bullied for his name, give him a normal middle name and if he wants to go by that when he gets older he can

I will say that my now teenage son wants to change his name to “Max”. He loves that name. I imagine if he has a son, he’ll be a Max.
(his name is John Avery because my grandpa’s middle name was Avery)
No offense but are you black? That’s what onyx means.

As someone with years of experience on the subject, having an “unique” name sucks and can sometimes be embarrassing as well.

I found my daughter middle name just on Google. Took me a few days and different websites but there were many options
What happened to the traditional names?

Part of my process was practicing yelling their full name (like if they were in trouble) and if you get stuck on it don’t use it. It needs to just flow, if you get stuck yelling their name it makes it funny not scary

Onyx has actually become popular lately I know a few kids with that name. I only know two of their middle names one is Micheal and the other is Kade.
Use parts of yours and your husband name combined.
