Please Help!

I can't decide on a name and its driving me crazy. I love the names Jackson, Carter, and Kaden. My first picks was Jackson and Carter..but wanting to use Andrew as the middle name (my brother)..it doesnt really fit. I wanted the middle name to mean something..but i'm starting to think it might not happen that way. I love Jackson Cole. What do you guys think? Does everyone have names or middle names that are linked to their family or do some just choose what sounds good?!

 :) thanks!!

Jackson Cole is good. I also like Carter Andrew.

We just pick middle names that we like.

My son has a family MN and my DD has a non-meaningful MN. I like Jackson Cole and Carter Andrew.

I think Jackson Cole and Carter Andrew both sound fine.  I don't personally care for Cole myself but it works well with Jackson.

I give a slight edge to Carter Andrew because of the family significance.

Pretty much this.  Although I'm pretty sick of Jackson.  But it's  perfectly nice name and goes well with Cole.

Agreed. I'm big into family middle names, though--even though Jackson Andrew doesn't sound as good, I stand by the philosophy that meaning trumps flow.

Jackson Cole sounds good.  I think you can use Andrew with any of your names.  For DD I picked based on meaning.  For new baby it will be based on what flows nicely as there is no one in the family who we'd like to honor in that manner.

Family middle names take place over great flow to me.

I would use Carter Andrew. I feel like every other baby I know is named Jackson/Jaxon.

I really like Carter Andrew, but Jackson Cole is also good.  I just like Andrew because of the meaning.  And, I like Carter better than Jackson.

Jackson - Love it!

Carter - Hate it!

Kaden - Like it.

My vote goes to Jackson Cole or Jackson Drew. GL! :)
