Boys middle name conundrum

My husband and I already settled on Emmalyn Marie for a girl. We also agreed on Jackson for first name for a boy, but nothing sounds right for a middle name. Our son's name is Jason Dylan, so I'm leaning
towards using Dylan again, my husband wants something new. Any suggestions?

I like Jackson. If I was having I a boy that would have been his name. For middle names there is Michael, Alexander, Lee, Tyler. Those were some I was thinking of. If you want to reuse the middle name ask the older son first. My parents asked my sister what my middle name should be and she said Marie like her cause it was cool. I would just make sure he is ok with it first.

My husband's middle name is Allen. We want to stick with J names for the first name but don't want any family repeats. We both like Jackson and no other family members have it. I kinda like that idea. Thanks :-)

My son is called Jackson! His middle name is Arron, named after his father. What is your hubby's name? Could you incorporate that into it somehow? All my kids middle names are after us, and they have always sounded fine. Jackson Arron, Teagan Michelle, and Bailey John.

My cousin did Clayton Travis and Tanner Colton tho she was going to go with two C names. My sisters name is Heather and I am Heidi and we were always mixed up. But then again I mix up my three all the time and none of their names are the same! In the end its all up to you and daddy!

Jackson Lee, Jackson Charles, Jackson Douglas, Jackson Rylee?  There are a few suggestions. ..if we have a boy I like the name Everett (Charles, Lee or Wayne)...my husband likes Rylee...I'm personally not a fan bc I know too many Rylee's.

Why not use Jackson for the middle name?  It's way too close to Jason for the two boys to be differentiated.  (My nephews, who are Cole and Connor, are ALWAYS getting called the wrong name because nobody can remember which name goes to which kid.)

As for re-using Dylan -- I would not, it just isn't fair to name two kids the same thing.  If you love D-names, what about Davis or Drew?
