Finish the combo (MN2)
I'm thinking of using Maximilian as the FN (not set in stone yet) and possibly Kjell (pronounced pretty much like 'shell') after my grandfather as one of the middle names. I've always had this thought that my first son would have Kjell as his MN, but then started thinking about not having any honoring names at all. It suddenly feels more important though after learning that my grandfather isn't doing that well any more. I want another middle name though, and thought you guys could have some good ideas. I'm open for pretty much anything except super popular names, but what's popular here in Sweden might not be popular where you are, so just hit me with what you've got and the more the merrier. ;-)I would prefer if Maximilian was the first name in order, but I think I might be okay with it coming second as well (Kjell Maximilian XXX).
Edit: Might be open to using Sixten instead of Kjell. It's my great-grandfather's FN, and also my grandfather's MN.

I think you need to make Kjell the second mn - Maximilian is so long, and followed by such a short name it's like walking in the dark and going down a step you didn't know was there. Two syllables should do it.Maximilian Harald Kjell, perhaps?
Maximilian Alfred Kjell
Maximilian Gustav Kjell
Maximilian David Kjell

I don't agree at all, possibly because the names are pronounced differently in Swedish so making Kjell the second MN usually sounds weird. I like Alfred and Harald though, but would switch the order around.
