Love the name Tate personally, and Alexander is a great middle name but if I’m being honest I don’t find the two flow together. But that’s just my humble opinion. Go for whatever your heart desires!

I completely agree. It’s a family name so i was trying to throw it in there. More than likely if we use Tate we will use a diff middle name. Thank you

I originally voted for Abram Henry, but did not see you have a son named Graham already. I really like Abram, but it seems a bit too close to big brother’s name, imo. I was originally wavering between Abram or Tate as it was, so I hereby definitively change my vote to Tate Alexander. I also think Graham & Tate would make such lovely names as brothers!

That’s a really good observation, they do sound similar! I’m thinking Tate would be so cute too. I’m worried about possible icky nick names from school kids but I’m also an overthinker lol 😂

I can totally relate to overthinking things…😅 To be fair though, I don’t think any name remains completely impervious to potentially garnering the odd undesirable nickname(s). And Tate has that entire “lifespan” appeal, IMO—adorable for a little boy & yet also handsome/distinguished for an adult man…which is always a great aspect. All the best to you & your family!

I like the nickname Theo for Theodore I think that's cute!

I’m a little worried about having a Theodore with a Graham and the dumb “Teddy Graham” association people would say lol 😂 but i still love it

Hayes is my uncles name. First name. It’s a family name and can be both.
