Aizen Blaze for our son?

[strawberry shortcake]

My issue is that if you add an "n" on to Blaze the first and middle name rhyme. Aizen Blazen would really bug me.
What about Alaric? Or maybe Blaine, Ace, Alisdair?

I think you need a strong male name to go with your sons Hunter & Malachi! Aizen just doesn't cut it and I've never even heard of it before!
Here are some suggestions for strong male names:
Hunter, Malachi & Issac
Hunter, Malachi & Brooks
Hunter, Malachi & Noah
Hunter, Malachi & Elliot
Hunter, Malachi & Hudson
Hunter, Malachi & Preston
Hunter, Malachi & Kingston
Hunter, Malachi & Ezra
Hunter, Malachi & Aiden
Hunter, Malachi & Austin
Hunter, Malachi & Ashton
Hunter, Malachi & Elijah
Hunter, Malachi & Asher
Hunter, Malachi & Nolan
Hunter, Malachi & Sebastian
Hunter, Malachi & Lander
Hunter, Malachi & Jasper
Hunter, Malachi & Dayton

How are you pronouncing Aizen? In Japanese it's EYE-zen. Are you saying it like Aden with a z instead of a d?

[boyandgirl]

I really think it is terrible. Sorry.

Not sure I like Aizen for a boy in general (sounds kind of feminine, just imo) but definitely the Z thing going on with Aizen Blaze doesn't really work for me. Aizen with something else maybe, like Aizen Spencer or some of the other suggestions (but not something that ends in "on" or "en" imo because Aizen has a really strong ending like that, and it's very repetitive).

Asher, Archer or Ace are better substitues.

At first glance I read it as Aizen Blazen

Since the girls have masculine names the boy needs an even more masculine name to differentiate himself
Why not make Blaise the first name?

I'm also wondering how you mean to pronounce it: I really like it if you pronounce it EYE-zen, but I truly dislike it if you pronounce it Ay-zen, esp. With Blaze. Agree with the previous poster who said it sounds more silly than strong.

I think the reason so many people here dislike it is that it sounds like a variatin of the (perceived) over-used Aiden/Jayden/Brayden etc. trend mixed with the Z trend. Whereas all your other children seem to have classical names, so that makes Aizen seem lightweight abd fleeting, rather than strong and lasting.

But Aizen (eye-zen) Blaise is very nice, as is the suggestions of biblical middle names like Samuel or Noah

Let me preface by saying I only had 4 1/2 hrs sleep, so I am a bit tired.
I read it first as Aidan Blaze. I suspect many people may simply misread or misremember it as Aidan- which could be very annoying.
I agree that it might also be confusing calling out to your children as Jaden and Aizen could blend in a little.
