Our son was born at home on May 29th and we named him Arlo. However we are stuck on the middle names.

We have three other children:  Isabella Grace, Sophia Pearl, and Soren August Leonard (going both by Soren and Auggie).

We would like to use the middle name of Roman to honor my side of the family. My maiden name is Romano.

Two other family names we have considered are Joseph and Sepp.

We also love the name Theodore and considered it for Arlo's first name.

So my question is does Arlo Roman Joseph/Theodore/Sepp Wismar work?  They all sound off to me.

Any other suggestions for us?

I have two favorites: I like Arlo Roman Theodore Wismar best for the pure sound/flow of it and because you'd get to use one of your almost-his-name choices---except that I like Arlo Roman Joseph Wismar best because I like family names and I like the sound/flow of THAT combination TOO (and it coordinates with the 2-2-2-2 rhythm of your first son's name). Arlo Roman Sepp Wismar is fine, but I like the other two better.

Let's have a poll over to the right to see what everyone else thinks! [Poll closed; see results below.]
