The hubby and I are expecting twin boys in December. We're set on the first names Max and Finn. We've got Max's middle name picked out, but we still can't decide on one for poor Finn. Please help? Our only requirement is that it has three syllables, and goes well with Max Gabriel. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

I know you sorta decided, but... I think Finn Michael and Max Gabriel are perfect. There.

Thanks everyone!

Gah, so many amazing combos. We're going back and forth between Finn Oliver and Finn Elijah. It'll probably be a little while before we make a final decision, but I definitely think one of those is the winner. Thanks so much! I knew I came to the right place :)

(Sorry. I took too long and got logged out or I would change these in the OP.)

I wanted to add Iskandar as a mn. Also, Colmcille is pronounced, "CAHL-um-kill." It means Colm (= Malcolm)'s church. Colm is pronounced exactly like the English word column, with two syllables.

Yes. I have a second cousin Colm ("column"). It doesn't sound so out of place over there (in Ireland). But I've always known that pronunciation wouldn't travel well, at least where I live. Ah, well. :-)

I don't mean to say that Malcolm would also be pronounced that way. Malcolm is still, "MAL-cum."
