General Name Discussion

[name]Hi[/name] everyone! I’m 32 weeks along and looking for a baby boys name. This is our first child so I’m not quite sure which way I want to go sound-wise (unisex, surname, trendy, classic, etc.), so I have a bit of everything…

[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Dean[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name] nn [name]Drew[/name]
[name]Tucker[/name] nn [name]Tuck[/name]
[name]Preston[/name]
[name]Colton[/name] nn [name]Colt[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name] nn [name]Beck[/name]
[name]Slater[/name]
[name]Malachi[/name] nn [name]Kai[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name] nn [name]Joe[/name]

Any ideas? I know I’m kind of all over the place, but I’d love to get some thoughts/suggestions… thanks so much!

[name]Micah[/name] - cute!
[name]Dean[/name] - seems a bit dated to me. Would make a handsome middle name.
[name]Andrew[/name] nn [name]Drew[/name] - I just love this even though it’s been so popular. I’d use it myself!
[name]Tucker[/name] nn [name]Tuck[/name] - [name]Tuck[/name] rhymes with a very unpleasant word. So does [name]Tucker[/name]. Middle school would probably be a nightmare, I fear.
[name]Preston[/name] - this isn’t my style, but it is really cute.
[name]Colton[/name] nn [name]Colt[/name] - Makes me think of a revolver.
[name]Beckett[/name] nn [name]Beck[/name] - I like this. Not my style, again, but very, very handsome.
[name]Slater[/name] - Mmm…this just doesn’t sound good to me.
[name]Malachi[/name] nn [name]Kai[/name] - I never heard of [name]Kai[/name] as a nickname for [name]Malachi[/name]. Very creative! Cool!
[name]Joseph[/name] nn [name]Joe[/name] - a fabulous choice.
