Advice on kiddo names.?

alright my husband and i are expecting our second child (boy). I think we'll use Ricardo as a middle name (i know the name is a little werid, but its five generational family name that ended with my dad - and since he didn't have any sons - i thought it might be sweet to give his grandson ricardo as a middle name). i figured the middle name was safe since we mainly go by first and last names - the middle names are just there and a little obscure. Does the first name have to flow with the middle? does anyone have a couple suggestions for a first name? our last name is LaRoche and my maiden name is Price (if that helps). Thanks!

Answer:
I agree- I love the fact that you are using a family name- my hubby and I don't have kids yet, but our names will definitely carry on some family ones as middle names. I love your last name, BTW!

The first name does need to flow with the middle name, however. So, when using "Ricardo" you need to find a first name that isn't too verbally heavy or complicated. Choosing names with similar patterns and syllables (such as Chris-to-pher Ri-car-do LaRoche- with 3 syllables each) has a pleasing sound and rolls off the tongue. Using first and middle names with the same syllables is a great idea.

Using a first name with similar sounds (such as Robert Ricardo LaRoche) may be harder to say...It is all about dictic patterns and syllables...

Some names that go well with _______ Ricardo LaRoche would be:

Jonathan Ricardo LaRoche
Christopher Ricardo LaRoche
Samuel Ricardo LaRoche
Isaiah Richardo LaRoche
Joshua Ricardo LaRoche
Matthew Ricardo LaRoche
Jeremiah Ricardo LaRoche
Alexander Ricardo LaRoche
Daniel Ricardo LaRoche
Caelan (or Caedan) Ricardo LaRoche


Hope one of those helps or gives you an idea!

Why don't you use Price has the middle name. That is still carrying on the family name.

Caden Price LaRoche
or name him
Ricardo Price LaRoche and call him Price. (I like that)

I am a fan of odd names. Both of mine have odd names.
How about-
James Ricardo LaRoche
Tobias Ricardo LaRoche
Nicholas Ricardo LaRoche

Good Luck!
Joshua Ricardo LaRoche
Kevin Ricardo LaRoche
David Ricardo LaRoche
Richard Ricardo LaRoche
Luis Ricardo LaRoche
Daniel Ricardo LaRoche
Jonathon Ricardo Laroche or Matthew or Zach OR zACHARY, WHICH i NAMED MY 1ST!
i think ricardo is a nice middle name its my dads
names are such a personal choice... i REALLY DO like the fact that you are using a family name. i think there are very few things as important as teaching "family values"... and there is nothing more rewarding that having an excellent relationship with family. giving a child a "family name" gives them a strong sence of belonging right from the start.

i would suggest that you look at more family names! Ricardo is a name from your family... is there an interesting name from your husband's family or another from your own family that you could use for a first name? even a maiden name of one of a Grand-Mother's?

i am pregnant and due in April. we have decided to use family names completely: Drake Ellsworth Walker
Drake is my maternal Grand-Mother's maiden name and Ellsworth is my maternal Great-GrandMother's maiden name. i can't BEGIN to tell you how VERY HAPPY my Grand-Mother is... and i feel i am doing the right thing by passing on something that means so much. we spend our lives trying to tell our children that material things have little significance in the end... and that it's the values that you pass on that will be remembered forever... i want my child to cherish tradition and family and to me that started with his name... that goes on forever in a family tree!
I think any name with 2 or more syllables would flow really well with the middle name and the last name.

Ideas...

Adrian
Benjamin
Avery
Dominic
Garrett
Harrison
Jeremy
Josiah
Oliver
Timothy
Zachary
James Ricardo LaRoche
Daniel Ricardo LaRoche
Victor Ricardo LaRoche
Damon Ricardo LaRoche
Adrian Ricardo LaRoche
Richard Ricardo LaRoche
Alexander Ricardo

Nathaniel Ricardo

Landon Ricardo

Holden Ricardo

Garrett Ricardo

Douglas Ricardo

Garrison Ricardo

I think it's wonderful your giving your son your dads name :)

Congrat's and Good-Luck !!
How about Ricardo Price LaRoche? James Ricardo, Price Ricardo? Edward Ricardo, Lawrence Ricardo, John Ricardo, Ricardo Edward? I personally like Ricardo Price which incorporates your father's name and yours. You could call him Ricky for short. Good Luck!
Eric Ricardo LaRoche
Alex Ricardo LaRoche
Steven Ricardo LaRoche
Ivan Ricardo LaRoche
Nathan Ricardo LaRoche
i like James Richardo Laroche good luck
It's nice when the names flow together. And I think that it's sweet that your carrying on the family name!

Evan Ricardo
James Ricardo
Allen Ricardo
Austin Ricardo
Hey, my name is Lauren Elizabeth, too! But I think that it's sweet that you want to carry on the tradition with the name Ricardo, but it is a little hard to find a first name to go with that. Maybe Joshua Ricardo LaRoche, Nicholas Ricardo LaRoche, or Matthew Ricardo LaRoche. I think those all flow well with Ricardo.
Good Luck and Congratulations!
Congrats on baby number 2! You are completely right about middle names not being used very often. Only in the early years will the middle name be asked. Most people don't ask adults, "Oh, what is your middle name?"

I think it is very important to keep family naming traditions going, withiin reason of course. :) I didn't name my son a fourth. :) I do plan on giving my daughter (if I have one) my middle name which has been passed down for 4 generations.

Maybe:
Preston Ricardo LaRoche
Collin Ricardo LaRoche
Benjamin Ricardo LaRoche
Caden Ricardo LaRoche
Cameron Ricardo LaRoche
Mason Ricardo LaRoche
Nicholas Ricardo LaRoche
Quinn Ricardo LaRoche
Hayden Ricardo LaRoche

Good Luck. I hope these helped! SD
