I have decided I'm going to name my son Braden, but i can't decide between 2 middle names. His father and I are not married and never will be, but he says he want to be part of his life. He asked me to give him his last name but I declined so he asked me to give him his middle name which is Scott. I like the way Braden Scott sounds, but I also like Braden Andrew. My last name is Logan, So I wonder what everyone else thinks sounds better- Braden Scott Logan or Braden Andrew Logan. I've even considered giving hi 2 middle names, cuz I know a few people who have 2, but I wonder if it would be considered girly for a boy to have 2 middle names, in which case his name would be Braden Andrew Scott Logan.. Please give advice?

4 names seems like a lot. Especially since the last name is also a first name. But I really like Braden Scott for what it is worth.

FYI in most states if not all of them if he pays child support on him the state will change his last name to his fathers so you might want to see what the laws are in your state before you pick out his middle name. My husband has a child from a one night stand who is 3 and he did not even want them to change the childs last name to ours and they did it anyway because that is how the law works. . . . So you really should look into that first

I like Braden Scott Logan... I think it flows better. And since you and Daddy are working things together, it's a nice gesture to him.

I vote for Braden Scott Logan. And I also agree that 4 names isn't girly but does seem kind of long.
