I'm not usually the sort to make decisions based on other people's opinions, but I just can't decide which I prefer for my middle name.  So, what do you think?  Should I be Jamison Haddon Blank, or Jamison Hadley Blank?  Both are variations of my original middle name.  (Blank is not my actual last name, but my last name is only one syllable, so it still gives you an idea of how it all goes together.) 

Hadley, because JamisON HaddON kinda rhymes.

Another vote for Hadley.  It rolls off the tongue better and will fit better with James if you want to shorten Jamison at some point.

If you have a choice of name, it is nice to have a mix of short and long sounds.

Jamison Hadley sounds cool. It rolls off the tongue. Personally i like it.

Jamison Hadley sounds better.  The rhyming of JamisON HaddON just doesn't flow as well.

I just closed my eyes and clicked.

I chose Jamison Haddon Blank. I see the rhymthic problem, but to me Jamison Hadley Blank while not having that problem, doesn't sound quite right. It just doesn't 'go' together.
I really like Jamison Hadison Blank. 
But seriously, are there any other H middles you could go with?

Jamison Haddon Blank

I chose Hadley as well.  I just typically don't like names that have that last syllable similar.  I also am picky about a bunch of different things concerning, but that's really not important as yours didn't raise any others.

I've made decisions about my own name using the same rule I'm applying to yours. (If you pick it.  If not, I guess it's not yours then.)

I like the sound of Jamison Healey. Kinda has a nice ring to it 

hmm, a few tries.

Jamison Howard Blank (got neither of the above endings and is pretty common and classic)

Jamison Homer Blank (now I gotta say - this is sweet)

Jamison Hercules Blank (can't beat this one  )

Jamison Hyde Blank (this is short, sweet, and sharp)

I chose Haddon. Just like that name better.

I like Haddon. I cannot get Hadley Lamar out of my head.

Yes I'm old.

Do you pledge allegiance to Hedy.. I mean Hedley Lamar?

Well, I don't feel like a Henry, or a Heime, or a Harrold.  And I think, Horatio might be too much. 

The thing is, my Mom originally picked "Heather" for my middle name for specific reasons.  Hadley means "heather meadow" and Haddon means "hill of heather".  So, this is kind of a nod at my Mom's original intentions.  I suppose I could go with Heath.

'Haddon' makes it sound like you're part of a CERN project.

Ah, ok. Heath might be good, though the two syllable idea is good too. I like Haddon best between that and Hadley. Hadley just sounds more like a mouthful or something.
