Need middle names

I am pregnant and due in 4 weeks. We don't find out the sex of the baby so we just decide on both a boy and a girl name. My husband and I can both agree on the names Alexis (nn Lexi)

Ooh, I love Flynn! It's one of my favorites, I'm hoping to persuade Jamie to put it on the short list.

Do you have any family names you'd like to pass down? Any family members/authors/artists/historical figures you'd like to honor? A favorite literary character? A favorite flower or gemstone? Personally, I love names that have emotional significance, and those are the first places I look.

If you are still stumped, here are some middle names I like with your choices.

Flynn Michael
Flynn Gregory
Flynn Daniel
Flynn Gabriel
Flynn Oliver
Flynn Conall
Flynn Patrick
Flynn Wesley
Flynn Thomas

Alexis Giselle
Alexis Ruby
Alexis Kate
Alexis Kathleen
Alexis Maren
Alexis Tatum
Alexis Marlowe
Alexis Harper

*Unsolicited advice: Please consider using the spelling Michaela rather than Mikayla. This is the classic spelling, and it looks so much more educated and pretty. I love Michaela, even though it's a popular name. But Mikayla just looks wrong, I'm sorry. And it looks SO trendy. It's going to be very dated in a few years.

Michaela Ruby
Michaela Harper
Michaela Claire
Michaela Suzanne
Michaela Ellis
Michaela Louise
Michaela Tess
Michaela Jillian
Michaela Teagan
Michaela Arden
Michaela Scarlett

I like Alexis a lot, especially with nicknames Lex or Lexi; Mikayla sounds pretty, but I really don't like the phonetic spellings. Michaela is the traditional spelling of the name, and it looks much better written, too. Flynn isn't my style, but I don't think it's a bad name, either.


Are there any family names you like, or are there family members you'd like to name your child after?
