My guys have family names. John Eugene, and Andrew Ronald. I like good, sturdy, non-fashionable names. I'm sticking with classics for my guys.

I loooove the name Luke. I also like Jason Richard. Seems to roll off the tongue...

Before we knew the gender of my second (due in 6 weeks) we were throwing boys and girls names around and I suggested the name Benson for a boy - my husband said no right away but its okay because we are expecting a girl anyway =)
Good Luck and Congrats

Not sure if you'll like any of these, but this is our entire boy list! Some good, some I can't believe we were thinking 4 years ago. A lot of them are family names. In the end, we ended up with something we never would have expected and is not from the family. On his third day of life we chose...Gehrig. It's perfect. We call him G. (g-money, g-monkey, g-love, g-man)

K.R. answers from Boston on January 10, 2012

My boys names are David Bernard (named after each grandfather) and Patrick Mark (Patricia is my MIL and Mark is his dad). We wanted names with family connections and meaning. We also wanted traditional and classic names that were easy to spell and say...never any corrections needed. Trendy names come and go and unique spellings confuse people. BTW- we also considered Thomas and Timonthy.
