Give me your best boy names!

[ladygrey]

8 weeks to go and the name discussion is still ongoing. We have 3 names that are front runners, but haven't had a "this is it" moment yet with any of them, so I am open to more suggestions/ideas.

We tend to like more classic names with traditional spellings (no Prune or Kaidyn, please).

Family info *poof*

[marlenabell]

Robert
Jason

[jenn248]

My favorites are William and Henry.

[thebreakfastclub]

Owen

[niq]

Is the middle name for sure going to be John? Robert Jonathan is good, but Robert John is a little awkward IMO.

[countthestars]

We are narrowed to Grant and Chase. I think.

[specialk]

DS is named Ryan, and I really like Owen, Henry, and James.

[boxerdog]

My favs are:

Connor
Luke
James
William
Parker

[cincodemayo]

Boy names are so hard.

David
Elijah
Samuel

[dulcemariamar]

Spencer
Milo
Luca
Marcos
Mathew
Calvin
Tobias
Cooper

Yes, definitely John.

What are your current front runners?

I live for this stuff, so forgive my word vomit. I had more but got rid of anything starting with L or that didn't seem to flow with John.

Adam, Andrew, Brendan, Conor, Charles, Alexander, Brian, David, Declan, Desmond, Dominic, Edward, Evan, Ethan, Xavier, Henry, Liam, Linus, Malcolm, Matthew, Michael, Philip, Simon, Stephen, Samuel, Tristan, Theodore, Thaddeus, Victor, Vincent, Zachary, Nathan, Nathaniel, Oliver

[glitzy07]

Boy names are SO hard! My front runner if this one is a boy is Declan.

[pearcider]

Theodore
Miles
Nolan
Ewan
Sebastian

[Deleted]

Eli
Andrew
William
Samuel
Bennett
Graham

[CrazyLucky]

Patrick, Michael, David, Daniel.
I guess I'm having trouble picking one that sounds good with a one syllable name, although my given middle name was also one syllable.

[annieh22]

Andrew (bonus you could call him AJ with an A first name)
Alexander
Ethan
Lucas
Samuel
Adam
Gregory

Current favorites are: Miles, Samuel (Sam), and William (Liam). I also like Henry, Benjamin (Ben), and Theodore, but DH has vetoed those.

[oceanstbride]

DS is William.

If we have another and it's a boy (or girl for that matter), we're thinking Cameron. Other favorites are Patrick, Henry, Dexter, and Bennett.

[justjen]

Well, we have a Lucy and a Max(well). middle name Henry.

We also really liked Simon, but it doesn't work with our last name.

[Deleted]

Are you opposed to John/Jonathan for a first name? I don't hear it that often but it is still classic and nice. Other classic names I like:
James
Ryan
William/Liam
Thomas
Edward
Henry
Owen
Noah
Theodore
Nathan
Daniel
Samuel
Miles
Zachary
Alexander

[justjen]

I like your front runners.

ETA: but Lucy and Liam might be a bit twee

[blueberry10]

I'm partial to Caleb.

Our two names are Nicholas or Christopher

Lol. This is my H and his brother :-)

[DarcyLongfellow]

My top pick for a boy name is actually John with the nickname Jack. :-) But we could never use it because DH's brother is named John.

Other names on my list were: William, Henry, David, Michael, Alexander

[rootbeerfloat]

Of your favorites I like Samuel (and Henry and Benjamin).

Austin
Anthony
Dominic
Max
Nicholas

gideon and elias are our boy names.

arlo and malcolm for middle names.

Gideon and Elias are the current front runners for our yet-to-be-conceived boy #2

OP, my DS is Josiah John. Not exactly a tradition name though.
Other options, Elijah, Joshua, David.
