Let me know your favorites or add some input.

Answer 1

I see name questions on here so often, and usually they are mortifying made-up names or ignorant-looking spellings (I speak as one who is familiar with correct spelling for American English). I think it's sad to think so many people find naming their child something wacky will make them "unique." It doesn't give any credit to the future child who can actually be unique through a creation of their own. It's funny because I don't feel any negativity toward ethnic names, only the made up or creatively-spelled names.

I think you have a great list of names that will prepare your son for a strong future. There's a whole section in the book "Freakonomics" about naming that is fascinating. They talk about the correlation of names like Andrew, etc. to higher income families, better school performance, continued education and career success.

Answer 2

Elijah Michael

Elijah is a good name....and i can see Alexander as a nice middle name for a few names

Answer 4

I like Elijah and Michael best, although Michael is a common name. Aralen i am not big on. The rest are ok.
Alexander is nice. Good luck

Andrew Michael
Michael Adam

I like all of them except for Michael, but that only because it is a very common name and the child may go through school known as Michael A. or whatever the last inital will be.
