Meh.. I dont think its so bad for a middle name. Honestly, people give their children strange middle names all the time. I have heard Danger, Riot, Burgundy. My own son is Tate Millan. (mill-in). He is named after my great grandfather.

I think the third option flows best. Congrats on your son!

Sincere is something I would name my daughter if I wanted her to be a stripper. I'd never give that name to a son. Or a daughter I didn't want to become a stripper.

I voted for Ezekial Nathan but Nathan Ezekial sounds better. If you don't want to use Sincere, don't use it.

Quoting Amanda Hellums:" I hate sincere also but dad is dead set on it...I like the 2 middle names so that's staying sorry...I'm trying to come up with something besides sincere"

You should look it up on one of those sites that lets you search by meaning.. find a name that means sincere.. maybe BD would go for that?

I totally understand that you don't want to push BD out of the naming process.. and he should have a say, but sometimes, you have to override BD.. its like I would never tell my husband not to yell at our son... unless he was yelling at him for something seriously stupid.. kwim?

like... if its going to hurt the kid and cause problems for him, you have to do what's right for him.. even if it means crossing BD..

And I sincerely believe that naming him Sincere would be harmful.

I think Sincere is fine for a middle name. It will be there for the meaning to you & DH but then he can have a regular first name. IMO middle names are pretty much fair game because they are just used on legal documents anyways.

I like Nathan best so my preference would be Nathan Ezekeil Sincere but Ezekiel is okay for a first name too.

Nathan Ezekiel Sincere? That sounds good.
