1. Which sounds better together: Tyler David OR Tyler Seth?

The first combo would be significant to the story because the middle name is the character's grandfather's name. But I think Seth goes well with Tyler too. lol I can't decide.

Also, this character's future older brother (Tyler isn't born yet in the story lol)'s middle name is their other grandfather's first name. So I'm wondering if I should make the two brothers' middle names "match" or not.

Whew, that was more complicated to explain than I thought it would be. lol

2. The future younger sister of Tyler will be named Danielle or Daniela (she doesn't appear until the sequel to my current story, it'll be a good surprise for my readers :P ), I'm not changing that 'cause I like the nickname Dani for her.

I'm wondering: What is a middle name that flows well with Danielle? It's harder to pick one since the emphasis of Danielle is on the second syllable. But here's the catch: I would prefer a Spanish-oriented name, Mexican, Spain, etc. Any Spanish-speaking country because of the character's 50% Mexican heritage.

For example: Natalia is the Spanish form of Natalie in English.

Or if you can't think of a Spanish form I'll accept English names and try to find the Spanish form. :)

Sorry if this is confusing, let me know if you don't understand what I'm asking for. lol

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/opinions. :D

Tyler's Brother's name doesn't have to match his. Grandfather's names aren't like Edith and Mildred until you go a few generations back. You could go biblical again, Isaac, Gideon, or you could go in another direction, Stanley, Oscar, Anthony, William, Gerard, Hugh his first name should be sort of common, but not top twenty or anything, just like Tyler. Liam, Preston, Alexander, Cole, Hunter, Dane, Nolan, victor, Owen, Sean.
Daniella's mn ::: Angelina, Lola, Elena, Sierra, Tierra, Anabel (this is the spanish spelling, if you were to spell it Annabelle it would be French) Alicia, Mariana, Azula, Carmen

Thanks for your input Mariel. :lol:

Sadly, Anthony is out because I've already used that for Tyler's older brother's middle name, Jordan Anthony.

For Dani's middle name I was thinking Ava or something. This is hard! lol I like Elena as a middle name. :lol:
--------------

Ooh, I just thought of another name dilemma I'm having: For a future spin-off of the series I'm writing I've decided to name Jordan's best friend Kellan but I can't decide on a middle name. What sounds the best out of these:

Kellan Timothy
Kellan Patrick
Kellan Michael
Kellan James
Kellan Jonathan

Or if you don't like those, suggest something for me. :)

Not a fan of Kellan, maybe Kallum or Kailum (Kay-lum) or Kade or Kaleb.
Kallum Patrick, Kailum Henry, Kade Jonathan (Jonathan "John" Kade), Kaleb Michael.

Oh and...
I like Natalie Elena!
Nolan Hugh or Isaac Stanley would be good, but if you're not "feeling" it Try Nymbler.com and put in names like the name you're looking for.
