There’s no shortage of options, yet we still struggle.
Some resort to eccentric choices to be unique, using brand names or even compass directions (I’m looking at you Kardashians)!
Finding a unique and perfect name for your soon-to-be child can take months, especially when you have suggestions coming from every direction.

The importance of picking a good middle name for your son
Now, technically, you could skip giving your child a middle name if you wanted.
After all, there’s no legal reason to have one!
However… I probably wouldn’t go that route if I were you.
I know it’s a tough decision, but you’ll find one eventually, I promise!
Here are 3 big reasons you should think carefully and do your research when picking a great middle name that goes well with Asher.
A middle name lets you preserve family or other important names
You fell in love with the name Asher the second you heard it and you’re excited to name your new addition to your family.
There’s only one problem, you promised Uncle Louis you’d name your first child after him after one too many cocktails at the last family reunion!
Fortunately for you, middle names are a great way to honor family members and preserve names that are near and dear to you.
Get some peace and quiet from Uncle Louis by throwing his name in between. Asher Louis doesn’t sound so bad now does it?
Their middle name can, and might, become their nickname
Children call each other all sorts of things. Whether it out of convenience, play, or downright nastiness, Asher’s middle name might just become his main name.
With that in mind, choosing a middle name is starting to seem a lot more important than when we started!
Choose a name that your child won’t be cursing out you or his peers over in the near future. Their teenage years will thank you.
The full name power play
Middle names can quickly become status symbols when used in the right scenario.
Whether introducing yourself to a room or signing an important document, your child’s middle name can carry some serious weight.
Choosing a name with a serious origin or that pairs well with their first and last name can truly make a difference when speaking your child’s full name.
As an added bonus, nothing worries our little troublemakers more than hearing their full name loudly roll off the tongue.
