I'd recommend the following website from the Social Security administration.
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

We used it with both pregnancies as we definitely didn't want kids who had to be known as "Ethan W" or "Braden W" - love both names, but I didn't want them thinking the "W" was part of their real name.

You can look up names by year, by popularity, etc. If it was in the top 200, we threw it out of the running and chose really unique names. I don't share them online for security reasons, but people either love them or hate them because of how uncommon they are.

Xander is cute and not made-up. I strongly suggest you choose a name that isn't made-up or spelled incorrectly on purpose. There's unique and then there's just weird or wrong! I like a few of the suggestions below, or hunter, Gage, Ryder, duke, dain/Dane, mason, Levi, Connor, Blake, kalen, chase.

my son's middle name is Dewey (after his dad and grandfather) i wanted it for his first name but his grandfather kept saying "don't do that to him" :). anyway i like that and Emory, Davis, Smith (last name as first names) i also really like Brody. i also know a lady who named her son Zane

Have you thought of using family names?- I used my Husband's Mother's maiden name as my daughter's middle name.

Her first name was after my grandmother- which is not common.

Or evening using someone's middle name as a first name.

My grandfather's middle name was Coleman, My father's first name as Preston. For us neither was in the running if we had a boy- more for personal reasons- but they are somewhat unique.

sawyer has been one of my favorites for a long time now but it's appearing to be quite popular with all the mentions of it. you could do Alex although you werent wanting traditional but then together they create AlexXander. Cheesy I know but I'm full of them :0) Lets see what else can i come up with. Brooks, Gavin, Garret, Wyatt, Cash, Hayden, Peyton, Braydon, and anything else with a Y and ends in a on. Good luck with #2!

Some people use Topher as a shortened version of Christopher (like Xander is a shortened version of Alexander).

How about Zezar, Andrick, Xendar, Eikian, Jeramhir,Kahalid, Yokar... but first I suggest you find the meaning of this names.

Oooh I like Xander.

Other thoughts:
I like Sawer & Finn as suggested.
also:
Rainn
Dane
Titus
Reece
Carter
Exley
Asher
Penn
Perry

And the way I find my most unique names is to write them down while I watch TV credits. You'll be amazed at the names of actors/producers/etc. My friend want's a unisex name, so anytime I see a name and go "is that a guy or a girl?" I write it down for her. Good luck. And congrats!

Jaxon (Jax) keeping with the "x" theme.

I think Zachary (Zach) should make a come back. Always liked that name.

My son was going to be named Roby (long o) after a dear uncle. It's old fashioned but the only other place I have seen it is on a Picasso. Sawyer and Finn are great too especially if you love Mark Twain :) What is your maiden name? Your mother's maiden name? Sometimes that fits well.

Congratulations on your little one. I'm sure you'll find his perfect name!

M.

Jackson (or Jaxon), Finnegan (Finn), Zack, Will, Damon, Ky

Xavier.

Too many X's?

With Xander, I might pick Cameron or Tristin.

there are lots of boy names out their and here are a few of my favorites ,zakk,jake,kevin, josh,jared,forest,gaston,garison,harison,and chris well thats all ive got

Hello L., Congratulations!!! You have to find (possibly ebay) this book "Best Loved Baby Names and their meanings" by Tracey Zabar - You will find a great name withing ONE day. Please keep me posted.

I'm sure you will recieve many responses and hopefully you will find what you feel is reight for your son. What a fun and exciting time! If you wanted to keep within the X region and something a little out of the ordinary, Xavier is nice. Just a thought. Zachary or just Zack, I love the name Seth. Jermiah. Plenty of names!! I wanted to name my son Malikai or Ezra but was shot down because it was too unusual. Follow your heart and have fun!

Jackson (Jaxon), Cooper, Grayson, Camden? All have great nickname potential. :)

Phoenix and Maddox, they will go with your x theme, are not traditional but not too crazy.

phoenix means loosley to rise from the ashes
maddox (from maddok) means benefactor, good, generous

I named my boys Ryvan and Wyler. Ellery is a nice name too. :)

Gavin or Liam were the names I chose, if i were to have a boy. (I had a girl& no more babies.) Gavin is my favorite. Another good name I recently heard was Julian.

I have two traditional, Adam and Nicholas. I also have a Drew (Dewey) and a Reece. Drew might go well. Then instead of Alexander and Andrew you'd have a Xander and Drew. That would be cute. I also like Dorian, Doogan, Gryphen, Dalton, Perry, Parker, Wylie, Rylie, Everett. I really think that the Xander and Drew is cute because most would have an Alex and Andy. Good Luck!

Some of the boys names I came up with before I settled on Logan for my last one were,

Jaxon, Gage, Jasper, Cordell, Harley, Otto, and Waylon.

Good luck.

My son's name is Aiden. We LOVE the name! I love that it is different but not too different to be weird. And there is about ten different spellings of it. You should look online for baby names. They have some great ideas. Good luck!!!

Nolan
Zeek
Keegan
Drake
Griffin
Warren
Wyatt
Gavin

Have you tried looking through some baby name books? Or even the internet. My children are 13, 11 & 10 so I am DONE.

But I recently got a new puppy, she is tiny and so cute, she is a cream color. I love all things Asian and I was reading an artilce on China and a lady was quoted in the article and her name was Xaio Mei - which means Pearl (it can also mean other things depending upon how is it used) I loved it so that is her name.

I realize children's names are more important - but I found her name when I wasn't really looking for one.

Good Luck
