Help[Opinions] Bridges
How would this look on a boy? It's a family surname and was my grandfather's middle name. This just occurred to me last night and I kind of like it but maybe it's because I'm not thinking clearly with my cold. I've already decided that any sons will have a middle name of Gray, another family surname.
I have 2 children, a daughter Sage Victoria and a son, Cyrus Gray. My top two boy names have been Job and Ewan. What do you think of Bridges in general and paired with my other names?

It looks like a surname name, and stands out a lot as one because it's a plural noun form. Surnamey names are not my thing, generally, so I dislike it. Also partly because it reminds me of Bridger, which has 3 bad things going for it IMO (is the last name of a woman I hated, sounds like Bridget, and is over-the-top butch sounding). But, my personal reaction suppressed, it isn't the absolute worst surname name. I'm just pretty sure I wouldn't want a name Bridges if I were a guy.
I like Cyrus. I've met a Cyrus who's nine now. Sage Victoria is nice too. I'd use Ewan with them instead. Bridges seems dissimilar to the others, not that it matters.
Get well soon.

I generally don't like surnames either. I just was thinking this might be an honoring option. Yes I think it's not usable, and when I suggested to my husband he said the initials would be BM so it was out of the question. I'm considering having another baby, but the naming is so difficult. I like Ewan, but I think it would be mispronounced. Girls are even harder. I don't feel like I have any real girl possibilities.
