Hello! Need some ideas for a middle name. I'm having a boy, due August 2024. I'm trying to stick with a theme. Strong names (preferably unpopular or older names) with strong meanings. Simply, I want names with meanings, not just because they sound cute.

I have a 4 year old named Nikolai Knight. Nikolai -- "victory of the people" and Knight is self-explanatory lol and so far, the first name we've decided on our for the new baby is Malakai. But I can't find a middle name that works with Malakai and keeps with the theme of my first son's name. I've considered James, but not sure how I feel how about the meaning. I kind of want something similar to Knight but can't find anything... nothing with too many syllables if possible since Malakai is such a big name. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Malakai Reign?

Malakai Willis (means protector)

Malakai Evander (possibly meaning -“good man”)

Malakai Ares (god of war)

Malakai Alexander (defender/warrior)

Malakai Barrett (bear’s strength)

Malakai Zion

@Lelaaaa1205,

So I like using Reign as a middle name but thought it might be better for a girl middle name... I'll add it to my list, though. The other names are great suggestions too. Thanks!

If you really want meaning pick a family name. A surname, middle or first name from someone in either family

@123tots123,

We decided to not to use any family names. it's overused it both of our families. we want unique names with meanings.

@BBrack1152,

I think it's great! we have friends with twin boys. Their middle names are Justice and Valor.

@Egrace90,

So I thought about Justice too... but I think Valor would work with Malakai more than Justice. Maybe that's just me?

I agree! I soon as I saw your other son's name, Valor immediately came to mind! Like Knights of Valor. I think it's perfect! 🥰
