Can't decide on name for baby boy coming March

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] All,

We are due with our first baby, a boy, this [name_u]March[/name_u] and as time is dwindling away, we are having a hard time deciding on a name. Something to keep in mind is that our last name is VERY popular, is one syllable, and starts with a B. We are in the U.S. and our heritage is mainly [name_m]German[/name_m] and Irish with some [name_m]French[/name_m], Dutch, Scottish, Norwegian, and Swedish.

We do have a few stipulations on what we would like to see in a name for our son;
No names that start with B
At least two syllables
A non-popular name (with our last name, we don’t want to have thousands of people with the same name. My husband and I both receive mail from people with the same names. Below top 100 probably)
Uncommon but not unusual (i.e. not popular but still something that people can pronounce and spell)
We do not tend to like names that end in -son
We tend to like names that end in -er, -an, or -is

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]
[name_m]Casper[/name_m]
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Kaiser[/name_m]
[name_m]Grover[/name_m]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Miller[/name_m]
[name_u]Sander[/name_u], [name_m]Xander[/name_m] or [name_m]Zander[/name_m]

[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]

7

[name_u]Abbott[/name_u]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Coleman[/name_m]

[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]
[name_m]Fisher[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m]

[name_m]Travis[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is nice. Or you could go with a more Irish name like [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] being the due date falls on St [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]'s day.

I’ve been looking up names on the Social Security most popular names site tonight, so I looked up some of the suggestion based on how popular they were in 2015, and added some that are fairly uncommon. From the ones suggested, I really like [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] (it’s #419).

Maybe you’d like some of these?

[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] (#316)
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] (#215)
[name_u]Orion[/name_u] (#368)
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] (#848)
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] (#543)
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] (#490)
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] (#768)
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] (#962)
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] (#964)
[name_u]Laurence[/name_u] (not in top 1000…[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] is #497)
[name_m]Whitman[/name_m] (not in top 1000)
[name_m]Wheeler[/name_m] (not in top 1000)

I’m really liking [name_m]Huxley[/name_m] from this list. It’s quirky and uncommon as a first name, but literary due to [name_m]Aldous[/name_m] [name_m]Huxley[/name_m], so it’s still familiar.

[name_m]Casper[/name_m]
[name_u]Denver[/name_u] ([name_u]Denny[/name_u])
[name_m]Meyer[/name_m]
[name_m]Ramsey[/name_m]
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m]
