We are trying to decide between the following names, your help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cash Addison, Cash Gray, Cash Peyton,

Raleigh Gray, we like the name Raleigh but are having a hard time with a middle name so any suggestions you have would be great.

Thanks,
April

I just voted for Luca Gray in your poll, which I just love. If it were me, Addison would be out altogether for a boy. Grey's Anatomy has made it super-popular for girls, so even though it does end in -son, I'd lose it. Plus, it rhymes with Madison, another super popular girl name, and it's nearly identical to Allison, a feminine classic.

Working with Raleigh and Cash, I'd probably name him Raleigh Cash. I don't like the sound of Cash with any of the middle name choices because the one-syllable first name sounds harsh and abrupt next to the longer middle names. I don't mind Raleigh Gray and Raleigh Peyton, but I still prefer Luca Gray. Wonderful choice with that one!

To be honest, I don't love any of the mn's with Cash. Since Cash is so short, I would go with something longer-

Cash Montgomery

Cash Oliver

Cash Truman

Cash Kenyon

Cash Hewett

Cash Isaiah

Cash Broderick

Cash Desmond

Cash Lyndon

Cash Murdock

Cash Wesley

With your style, I would think about using a family surname. Try some of the above mn's with Raleigh too, see how they fit. I like Raleigh Anders or Raleigh Cazimir or Raleigh Caz a lot. Raleigh is a lot easier for mn's because it isn't one syllable, and so you can use one-syl mn's- Raleigh Beck, Raleigh Cade, Raleigh Thane. Raleigh Anson, Raleigh Griffith, and Raleigh Calder/Calman are also nice.
