I think that if you are using your DH's last name, then using middle names from your family is fair, unless there's a specific person your DH wants to honor.
I'd start with that question -- who do we want to honor. If the answer is your Dad, then narrow it down to his first, middle and last names. Of the 3, I like Howard the best, and I also like that it honors you.

Honestly I don’t like any of those options. And I love the name Austin. I just think those combos all seem weird.

If the last name is your husband’s family name I wouldn’t worry about fairness, and I am Jewish and would only name based on deceased names.
I like the AJ nickname.

I like Austin George.
However to be fair, I'd go with Austin Howard. As long as the three initials work well together.
Then the kid has his own name, a name from mom's family, and a name from dad's family. That's nicely blended.
In our family, the only family name that has become a tradition was a lady's surname/maiden name in the mid-1850s.

I think Austin sounds better as a middle name in every example you gave. It's also trendy, and the other names are less so, except maybe Jude.

Agree with PP. Austin Albert flows nicely, the rest don't. Personally I only use honor names for deceased family members, but if there's some sort of expectation in your husband's family, David or Jude sound okay IMO.

Here are the options we're considering:
- Austin George (my dad's first name)
- Austin Albert (my dad's middle name)
- Austin David (my husband's middle name and FIL's first name)
- Austin Howard (my maiden name)
- Austin Jude (to honor my MIL Judy)
Which one do you like the best? Should we choose a name from his family this time to be fair? Let me know your thoughts. I’m stressing over this. I don’t want any hurt feelings, but I know there probably will be.
What about "James"
Other wise I like "Albert" has a nice flow--the others are clunky
