Hello, all!
We’re waiting for the birth to learn the sex of our new baby. We are pretty sure we have a name chosen if the baby is a girl, but are having trouble with a boy name. Our older son’s name is [name_m]Gage[/name_m], and we’d like something that will complement that and similarly be a shorter one/two syllable, masculine name. The middle name will be [name_u]Dean[/name_u] after my father-in-law. I like [name_m]Dex[/name_m] but think it sounds weird with the middle name, so I suggested Dexton. [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] is a nonoption because of the book/TV show character. My husband likes [name_m]Landon[/name_m], but I’d prefer to stay out of the top 100. What do you all think? Also, while I’m here, what are the thoughts on Coledon, [name_m]Cole[/name_m] for short? Any comments, thoughts, suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!
I loooove love love [name_m]Gage[/name_m]. So sweet and handsome. [name_m]Gage[/name_m] is a familiar but not too popular choice, so I think you’re right to avoid a [name_m]Landon[/name_m], handsome as it is. Coledon is fine, but I might choose the Colden spelling (the E between the consonants makes it look like it might be cole-eh-don?), or just go with [name_m]Colton[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m]/[name_m]Colt[/name_m] for short. [name_m]Gage[/name_m] and [name_m]Colton[/name_m] is stunning, in my opinion, but I’m sure you’ve already thought about it! If you like [name_m]Dex[/name_m], maybe [name_m]Declan[/name_m]?

Sorry, it’s a long one! 
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I’m not a big fan of Coledon, unfortunately. What about [name_u]Colby[/name_u] or [name_m]Colton[/name_m] to get the nickname [name_m]Cole[/name_m]? Here are some names you might love (shouldn’t be any repeats of previous poster. All are outside the top 100):
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

Like any of these? Good luck
Names I would put with [name_m]Gage[/name_m]:

Thanks so much for these amazing suggestions! I especially love [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Rhett[/name_m], and [name_u]Walker[/name_u]. I agree about the spelling of Colden, also. That makes much more sense. I also love [name_m]Colton[/name_m] but, as with [name_m]Landon[/name_m], feel it’s a bit too popular. I like nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m] for [name_m]Declan[/name_m] but have a friend with a son names [name_m]Declan[/name_m]! Again, thank you for the wonderful input!
My husband loves [name_m]Gavin[/name_m]! Thank you for your input!
Ahh I love the sound of [name_m]Abel[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u], but my husband immediately vetoed it for some reason! Thank you for the beautiful name suggestions!
