middle name contest

I am having issues picking a middle name for my son. I would like to go with Beck for his first name, but cannot get this to flow with more than a few middle names. Beck _______________ Atwood. Any suggestions?

  1. Sorry Joe, can't think of anything that goes with that one. Are you SURE you want Beck as his first name?

  4. Joe, your problem is that Beck is the first name. As you have probably noticed, Beck only has one syllable. All middle names sound better if they are as short or shorter than the first name. Michael Shane sounds better than Shane Michael... go ahead, it works with all names. So, my suggestion is put Beck as a middle name and call him that, but you can then throw many names in as a first name: Joseph Beck, Porter Beck, Jackson Five Beck...
    Anyway, my thoughts.

  5. I agree completely. I may not follow your advice, but I am considering it. I just want the world to know him as Beck (until he becomes a general authority, and then possibly H. Beck Atwood or something in that vein).
