Default Help Naming New Son

I've agreed with my wife that she can select the first name of our soon-to-be son if I can select the middle name. She's selected Alexander as the first name - Alec or Alex for short.

Renn is now near the top of the middle name list along with Mario and Enzo - the last name will remain Ferraro.

Any suggestion? (Please don't say "Stimpy")

Alexander Renn Ferraro... ARF
Alexander Enzo Ferraro... AEF how about
Alexander Ferry Ferraro... AFF? Yep, I'd rather go with that.

If you don't like Ferry, I think Renn sounds better than Enzo and that way you have two great cars covered!

How about "Race" or "Track"?

I'm with Finn: Alexander Ferdinand Ferraro has a very formal classy ring to it, but can be shortened for those casual occasions to "Alex" or "Ferry". 'Course "Ferdinand" is going to give him trouble in school if anyone finds out .

Just my $0.02

Make sure it's pronouncable, instead of something like Csaba!

Alex is a VERY popular name. Friendly advice from someone who has an Alex: Pick a middle name he can use all the time or something that makes a good nickname to differentiate him from the other 5 Alexes in his class.

I had a friend who wanted to name her daughter "Alexis Mercedes" until someone else pointed out that she would be naming her newborn after two luxury car brands...
