Hi guys!! My wife and i are expecting our first child - we are super, super excited! My wife is 33 weeks now so getting to the "business end" of the pregnancy. ... however, we are really struggling with names. We've got the girls name covered, however struggling to chose between: Oliver Jeffrey Dalton Harrison Luke Dalton what do you guys think sounds and works better? can you offer any suggestion for an alternative middle name to Luke? Thanks everyone!

Oliver and Harrison are both great. I prefer Oliver to Harrison but I prefer the combo Harrison Luke to Oliver Jeffrey. I also think Oliver sound better with your surname. What about Oliver Harrison? Or Harrison Oliver?

I love both. do you mind Harry as a shortened name as that is what people will probably call him, even if you dont

I am putting in a vote for Luke Harrison Dalton. Luke Dalton is such a strong name! If only between Oliver & Harrison, I'd go with Harrison -- because the nn Harry is so cool. I'm not a big fan of Oliver.
