Middle Name Challenge: Nathaniel ______ Murrah

I'm due to have a c-section this Thursday (Oct. 28) and my husband and I are still looking for ideas for a middle name. I thought we could manage, but my due date is coming up quickly, and I'm at a complete loss. My sister referred me to youcantcallitit, which led me to Appellation Mountain, which led me to you. I've been reading past posts for nearly an hour now. It seems to me that you all have great naming insights, and I was wondering if you or your readers could give us any ideas.

We've chosen Nathaniel as a first name, but don't even have one solid middle name option. We like older, underused boys' names that are out of the mainstream. Nathaniel is more popular than we'd like, so we were hoping to find a more uncommon middle name.

Our other children are Emma-Grace Iselin Murrah
Branson Levi Murrah
Chandler Jacoby (jack-o-bee) Murrah

We'd be immensely grateful for any suggestions!


Name update! Mathilda writes:
Thanks for putting up the post so quickly. I wanted to let you know we decided to name him Nathaniel Justice. There were so many great suggestions, but I felt like this name really clicked with my husband and I. Thanks so much for your help!

PS: I've attached a picture of him as well.
