Need some suggestions for a middle name

My husband and I are trying to conceive #1 with the help of clomid. I just finished my 1st round at 50mg last week. We already have the names we want to use as first names, but are trying to figure out some middle names. That's where I could use some suggestions. For a girl we want Piper Calais. Calais is pronounced cal-A like "A" in apple. I've loved that name since I was little. For a boy we want Tristan, but can't come up with a middle name.

I like Tristan a lot. Piper is a bit too cutesy for me- I have trouble picturing an adult or even a teenager named Piper. I would have no idea how to pronounce Calais. MN ideas for Tristan..


Tristan Asher


Tristan Grant


Tristan Davis


Tristan Rhett


Tristan Levi


Tristan Isaac


Tristan Calder


Tristan Everett


Tristan Jonah


Tristan Kai


Tristan Oliver

Thanks for the suggestions. I know before we were considering Tristan Walker or Tristan Drake, but I'm not too crazy on those anymore.

Ooo, I love the sound of Tristan Walker! You may also like Tristan Wade, Tristan Wesley, Tristan Wyatt, Tristan Blake, or Tristan Dane.

If you want the "cal-a" pronunciation, you should spell it Calla, like the lily. Calais is a city in France, and it's pronounced "ca-lay". If you want that spelling pronounced like Calla, then I'm afraid you and your daughter would be in for a lifetime of correcting people (or rather, having people correct you, which would be both annoying and possibly embarrassing).


Piper is really cute, and sounds nice paired with either pronunciation, so whichever one you go with, it'll be a nice name.


As for the boy name, how about:


- Tristan Alec
- Tristan Alexander
- Tristan Burke
- Tristan Curtis
- Tristan David
- Tristan Pierre
- Tristan Reid
