Classic names--looking for fresh ideas!

[lesliekav]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries,

I’ve posted a few times in the last few weeks on our search for boy #2’s name. Brother is [name_m]Luke[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m]. I thought my husband and I had narrowed to [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_u]James[/name_u], but I think we’re both waiting for that name that we’ve forgotten that just breaks through and shines when we hear it. Husband has very classic, timeless, conservative taste. I’m slightly more creative but still firmly in the classic realm (no [name_u]Brayden[/name_u]/[name_m]Caden[/name_m]/[name_m]Jax[/name_m]/[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]/[name_u]Blaze[/name_u] for us).

So, in the vein of [name_m]Luke[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], and [name_u]James[/name_u], I’d love to hear a few of your favorite classics. Thanks in advance for the continued help and creativity!
