Boys names are so hard! We were going between Colton (Colt for short), Brennan or Caden, although I didn't want Caden, my husband did. We ended up with Bryce! I love it and even though it doesn't seem like a name for a L. baby, most people said it grew on them. Of course, I didn't care what anyone thought! I always get compliments on it when I am out and I couldn't be happier. We wanted a strong name but one that wasn't too common. Good luck and congratulations!

Have you tried the Social Security website? They have the top 1000 names for the last year or you can choose a decade or a span of years of your choice and it will show the names that were used, and it always helped us because we wanted something 'normal' but not so popular there will be 4 others with the same name in their classes.

Or what my husband and i always did was one of us picked the middle name(must be somewhat agreeable) and then the other picked the first name(must be somewhat agreeable) and that was the name. (except with our daughter who has two first names hypenated)

Also a list from me: (:
Blayne
Parker
Sawyer
Colton
Case(if we have another boy this will be his name)
Greyson
Memphis
Jett
Skyler

How about a combination of family names. Your dad's or granddad's etc. My first and middle name came from my great grandmas.

With all the trendy names out there, I think a good rule of thumb is to picture the name on an adult man.

Good luck.

I like unique names, so I would check out a couple books at your library on celtic names or baby names from around the world.
A lot of the names are spelled really cool and sound even better! :)

Why not just go with your husband's preference?
Or else, one with the same first letter? This makes the children feel bonded together. I have a best friend named Vanessa, and her siblings are Vivian, Vance, and Vincent. They call themselves the 4 V's. None of them have middle names, but they all wanted them. Vincent even made one up for himself! (So please give yours a middle name) :)

answers from Chico on

Sometimes the mother's maiden name makes a very nice name for a child. Maybe this would work for you, then each son would have the name of a parent.
We used grandpa's names for our son's middle names.
My son's name is Orion (like the constallation), I came up with it as a way to represent my husband since he didn't want his son to have the same name as him and my husband is into archery. Maybe there's a name that fits for your family through hobby or interest?
Best wishes in your search.

Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family! When my son was born we didn't have a name picked out. My husband kept saying "William James" and I refused that because I thought it sounded like a butler or something. Lol... the things that cross our minds when choosing a name!
In our case, my husbands only uncle passed away just before our son was born, so we used his name "John" and gave our son the first name "Johnathan". His middle name (which is the name he goes by because I like the idea of a namesake but wanted him to have the freedom to be his own person without trying to live up to someone else's name) is Tyler and it just came to me when I looked at him the first time. It just suited him. I also like the fact that his names give him options for adult life and nicknames as a kid. He could be JT, Tyler, Ty, or he could have a business card someday that says J. Tyler .
Whatever you pick I'm sure will be just perfect for your child.
God bless and happy wishes for you and a very healthy baby!
