HelpDeclan, Ezra, and Ephraim
What do you think of each name? Do you have any suggestions for middle names? My initial dilemma was wanting to incorporate my boyfriend's name or initials into the mix but, at the moment, I just don't like the idea of limiting myself to a certain set of names. I'm not opposed to adding Jordan if it goes well with the name or as a second middle name.
A few I've thought of:
Declan Miles
Declan Thomas (Thomas would honor the baby's paternal grandfather.)
Declan Elijah
Declan Alexander
Declan Gabriel
Ezra Jordan
Ezra Jacob
Any additional help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I love Declan, like Ezra (my nephew's name) and heartily dislike Ephraim.
Declan Miles is nice but Declan Thomas is gorgeous. This is a combo that I could see myself using. I like Declan Alexander and Declan Gabriel as well.
Ezra Jacob is nice too.
If Jordan is important to you, it certainly works with Ezra. It's not great with Declan since they have similar endings, however, if you're willing to put another mn first (such as Declan Alexander Jordan), then the flow is much better. I realize not everyone is into two mns.
Personally, I wouldn't want to be limited to a certain name or even a certain initial. In your situation, I think as your pregnancy progresses, you'll be more clear on what you want to do.

I adore Ezra.
I don't care for the other two names but I'm totally in love with Ezra. If my baby is a boy (I'm 14 wks), it's gonna be the name for sure. The only middle name I could come up with for it was Ezra Jude but we're probably gonna use a family last name for the middle name instead. Ezra does seem to go well with "J" middle names for some reason.

Don't like Declan at all (sounds like a decal and have always thought it kind of tacky... and it's a tad on the trendy side right now too) and don't like the meaning of Jacob (liar/supplanter) even though it otherwise sounds good. Jordan's a little overdone and trendy for my liking. The other middle names are good and so are Ezra and Ephraim.

I like Declan, but I decided a while ago that I prefer Duncan. Seems stronger/more bold to me.
I love Ezra. Ephraim is nms. Either of these two could work with Jordan.
Declan Miles - ok
Declan Thomas - very nice, Thomas adds some 'meat' to Declan (my fave of your Declan combos)
Declan Elijah - combo is fine, but seems soft (a little feminine?)
Declan Alexander - also nice
Declan Gabriel - also nice
Ezra Jordan - works nicely, especially with your reason for using Jordan
Ezra Jacob - my preference, but again, you have a reason to consider Jordan
Ezra Jacob Jordan would work.
