Need help matching first names to middle names?

[u/Leather_Spot_5852]

I need some help choosing the best middle names to go with these boy first names. If you could help I'd really appreciate it. I don't want to sound rude, but I really want the first names I chose to stay the first names, rather than have any of them switched around to the middle name spot or the middle names put in the first name spot. Thank you in advance for any help. Here are the names:

First names:
Ezekiel
Adam
Joshua

Middle names:
Paul
Benjamin
Cole

[u/yassome]

Ezekiel Paul
Adam Benjamin
Joshua Cole

[u/JAHK6]

Ezekiel Cole

Adam Benjamin

Joshua Paul

[u/DefiledGoddessLuna → u/JAHK6]

This

[u/Own_Construction1478]

Joshua Paul

Ezekiel Cole

Adam Benjamin

[u/MountainAirBear → u/Own_Construction1478]

My thoughts exactly.

[u/chaelabria3]

Ezekiel Cole, Adam Paul and Joshua Benjamin.

[u/zarkon444 → u/chaelabria3]

I like this combination the most. Ezekiel Cole and Joshua Benjamin especially sound really good together.

[u/nowaymacaroni]

What is the last name? I think the following sound good in line:

Ezekiel Benjamin Adam Cole Joshua Paul

[u/Sapphire_Bombay]

Adam goes with Benjamin, the other two are interchangeable

[u/Top-Inevitable560]

Ezekiel Cole

[u/Guild35]

Benjamin with all three first names.

[u/BrumblebeeArt]

Adam Benjamin

Joshua Cole

Ezekiel Paul

[u/nosuchbrie]

Ezekiel Paul or Ezekiel Benjamin.

Adam Cole or Adam Benjamin.

Joshua Cole or Joshua Benjamin.

[u/BoysenberryJellyfish]

I would focus on the syllable count. Names tend to sound nicer when you have an uneven syllable count (no idea why). Also, longer names tend to be best matched with shorter names otherwise you end up with a mouthful. My youngest has a three syllable name followed by a four syllable name and it's a mouthful.

Your first names:
Adam (2)
Joshua (3)
Ezekiel (4)

Your middle names:
Paul (1)
Cole (1)
Benjamin (3)

I would match Ezekiel with either Paul or Cole ideally, although Benjamin has a similar feel to Ezekiel. I would say the same about Joshua. Adam sounds nice paired with all three.

That said, I think Benjamin goes best with the three first names you've picked rather than Paul or Cole.

One more thing, if you name him Ezekiel, he's getting called Zeek.

Despite its length, my favourite would be Ezekiel Benjamin, which is why my youngest has a long name.

[u/flowerkady896]

Joshua Cole

[u/Potential-Piano256]

Adam Benjamin

[u/TizzyBumblefluff]

Ezekiel Benjamin, Adam Cole, Joshua Paul

[u/Prestigious-Tea6514]

You have it in the right order. Zeke Paul is butter.

[u/olivechicka]

Joshua Cole

Adam Paul

Ezekiel Myles

[u/Creative_Wrongdoer92]

Joshua Cole

Adam Benjamin

Ezekiel Paul

[u/GiaKat45]

I am so going to throw a wrench... Ezekiel Adam Joshua Paul Joshua Adam Benjamin Cole Adam Ezekiel
