Middle Names - can't find a family name that fits

[marymom]

My top 4 boys names are Lincoln, Graham, Gideon, and Paxton. I'm kind of thinking of losing Paxton because I have a nephew named Broxton and don't want to create conflict. (Thought I do love Paxton.)

Lincoln is leading the pack for the moment, though lots of posters seem to like Graham and Gideon too.

I need some middle names now.

I always wanted to use Angelo after my favorite uncle who passed away some time ago. But I don't think Angelo goes with Lincoln. Also, our last name begins with E, so if you pair Angelo with either Graham or Gideon, his initials would be G.A.E, which makes me wonder if he would be bullied and called "gay" when he gets to school. I would most likely use Angelo with Paxton, but again, I'm not sure about Paxton any more.

My dad is Robert, does that go with the other names?

I'd like to use a family name, but I don't have to.

Other middle name suggestions, especially for Lincoln?

Your thoughts and time are much appreciated! Thanks!

I really think Lincoln Angelo sounds great, but since you don't like it, have you considered any names related to Angelo or Robert? I rather like Lincoln Anxo, Lincoln Rupert, or Lincoln Brecht.

I'd drop Paxton. Lincoln is great, and Graham and Gideon are solid.

Lincoln Angelo is wonderful! It goes very well. In school, people don't know of the middle name except the office, so bullying is not an issue unless he tells them.
What was your favourite uncle's middle name? You can use that instead if you can't get behind Lincoln Angelo. An honoring name doesn't have to be the first name exactly, it could be the middle, a name with the same meaning, a name that relates to said person's birthday etc.
Gideon Robert is good, Lincoln Robert as well.

I love Lincoln! I actually think Lincoln Angelo works fine--perfect, actually. I like that it gives Lincoln even more flair. I think Lincoln Robert is lovely, too. I think something like Lincoln Silas, Lincoln Henry, Lincoln Samuel, or Lincoln Alexander would be fabulous, too.
