Choosing a middle name for your baby isn’t always easy. If you’ve already decided on Anthony for your little boy, you might be left wondering what middle names fit best with Anthony.
A common choice for middle names is to use a family name. Parents or grandparents names are a great choice as it carries on some tradition and honors the previous generation. But if you’re not interested in using a family name, here are some options that work great with Anthony.
Before you commit to your final middle name choice, try saying each name out loud – Anthony (Middle Name) (Surname) to see how it sounds with your surname. You want to choose a name that flows nicely off the tongue and just sounds good when all put together.
If you’re a fan of basketball, there’s multiple options that might interest you. Anthony Edwards or Edward, Anthony Davis, Or Anthony Camelo would all work well and be a great way to get your little boy interested in basketball!

There are so many terrific options that all sound great with Anthony, but, if I had to choose, my personal favourites would be:
1. Ryan
2. Alan
3. Russell
4. Carter
5. Elliot
All those roll off the tongue nicely and have a good ring to them.
On the other hand, I don’t mind a bit of alliteration, so I’m also naturally drawn to middle names that start with A to go with Anthony – so Anthony Alan, Anthony Adam or Anthony Alexander would all be good options for this.
I like the way Anthony Adam and Anthony Alan roll off the tongue, but I’m also quite drawn to Anthony Elliot, so perhaps I just like a vowel to start the middle name.
Choosing a name for your baby is such a personal choice, and you really can’t get it wrong! If you, and your partner like the names you have chosen, then it is nobody else’s business!
It’s fun to play around with names though. Especially with middle names, it’s good to try saying the full name, including the surname, to see if the three names fit together well.
If you’ve chosen Anthony for a first name, you’ve got a three syllable name to begin with. If your surname is two or three syllables, then sometimes a one syllable name for a middle name can sound good for the rhythm of the name.
For Instance, Anthony Russell Lloyd has a very different rhythm to Anthony Dale Lloyd. Neither one is more correct than the other, it’s a matter of personal preference. Really, any combination of syllables and sounds can make a fantastic name when you string them all together.
Hopefully we’ve given you some good ideas here for middle names for Anthony, whether you choose one of these names or continue on in your quest for the perfect middle name, we know you’ll make a great choice.
After all, you’ve already chosen Anthony for his first name, and Anthony is a great name for anyone’s new baby boy!
Congratulations and enjoy your new baby Anthony!
