I can't find a middle name for Porter that flows really well. I would prefer something short as our last name is 10 letters long with 3 syllables. I don't like the traditional middle names like Charles, David, Alexander or anything of the sort. Here's a few that I thought of but not sold on them.
Porter Jacob (dh's mn)
Porter Chaz (dh doesn't like it)
Porter Bennett
Porter Brandt
Porter Beau (it doesn't flow but I call my dh Beau, nn)
Porter Cade
Porter Gavin
It looks like our boys name will either be Porter or Nash. My fav is Nash and dh's is Porter. I like Nash Jamison. For a girl we've decided on Calista Brielle and if we were to have another girl after that she would be Tana Charisse. I'm already set on the girls names and Nash Jamison, just need help with Porter. TIA!

This isn't an attempt to be mean, but the first thing that popped into my head was Porter Potty. Of course, I'm not suggesting this as a mn ... I'm just saying it's a name that will be really open to teasing. If I (a grown woman with children) couldn't help but think of it, imagine what certain thoughtless children will call him.
For that reason, I'd have to say I prefer your choice of Nash Jamison. A two-syllable mn would also work well, since you mentioned your ln is 3 syllables. Jacob or Bennett would probably sound good (not knowing your ln I can't say for sure, but they're good options!).
HTH!

I like Porter Brandt :)
Maybe if you are trying to convince your DH against Porter, you can tell him about the nickname potential that the PP mentioned :) I personally prefer Porter over Nash but maybe the potential teasing will sway your DH toward the name you prefer.
Good luck! :)
P.S. Calista Brielle is a beautiful choice :)
I, too, have to apologize :). The first thing that popped in my head was yummmy "Porterhouse steak" and "Portabello mushrooms". That could also be the getting to be close to bedtime prego cravings I have been getting. I really like your pick of Nash and seeing your future girl's names it seems to flow better then the stiff-sounding Porter. HTh's.

Good luck! Nash is a great name, too. Would also be a cool MN.

Normally I don't read anyone else's post until after I've posted my opinion/suggestion b/c I don't want to cloud my 1st instinct or impression or what I might have said, if that makes since, lol. Honestly, I didn't like any of the MNs, I thought Bennett was alright, so I wasn't going to respond at all... ...until I saw this porta potty and porter steak thing (I did giggle)... ...Anyways, no crazy stuff like that entered my head when I saw the name Porter. Porter is a name I actually like, just didn't prefer any of the MNs with it.
Best Wishes!
I like Porter Jacob or Parter Baeu best off your list.
I also like Calista Brielle for a girl. Very different, yet not too out there. Calista makes me think of a pretty, feminine, but stong-willed girl.
As far as the boys name, I am not sure if I prefer Nash or Porter. Both seem to be strong names to me and can't pick a winner between the two.
