Baby Brother needs a name

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

We found out we are expecting a boy after having 3 girls, yay! So the dilemma is I am not crazy about any names for him. It doesn’t help that my DH is super picky and on a different baby naming plane than I am. Our DDs are [name_f]Anaya[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f], and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] - we like vowel names. Our last name is 2 syllables and starts/ends with S. That being said I’d like something not too popular and dislike nicknames.

We have only narrowed it down to 2 names: [name_m]Abel[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]. I like both ok but am not loving them. The reason behind the apprehension with [name_m]Abel[/name_m] is it is also a word and sounds odd with nearly every middle name to me. The issue I take with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is that it is/has the potential to become super popular. What do you all think?

Thanks!
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m] (the mama)

A few more vowel names:

[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Isiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Aiden[/name_u]
[name_m]Ivar[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]

I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]…not sure if it will become mainstream popular as opposed to people talking about it on here. It’s a pretty different sound for people to take on.

Others you might like:

[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Iver[/name_m]

Definitely [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]! I think [name_m]Abel[/name_m] is difficult to wear in 2017.

Your list reminds me of [name_m]Axel[/name_m] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] which may appeal?

I think [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is wonderful, but I definitely think it’s about to explode. What about [name_m]Aaron[/name_m]?
