I have 2 girls (Mariko [name]Michel[/name] after grandmother and mom, [name]Kaia[/name] [name]Star[/name] after other grandmother) and now expecting a BOY!!! We are struggling with names. I want something a little on the different side (as Mariko and [name]Kaia[/name] are different) but not OUT there.
We so far like: [name]Will[/name] or [name]William[/name], [name]Drew[/name], or [name]Brenden[/name]—but are completely open to ideas. Middle name will be after his daddy [name]Kevin[/name].
Oops…Ignore this! 
Oops! Double post!
I love [name]William[/name], but it’s not unusual (it’s a classic and #8 in popularity currently), and [name]Drew[/name] and [name]Brenden[/name] are pretty common, too.
[name]Marika[/name], [name]Kaia[/name], and…
[name]August[/name]/[name]Augustin[/name]

[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Edit[/name]: I forgot about [name]Kevin[/name], so I went back and saw that only a few work with [name]Kevin[/name]…

[name]Edit[/name]: None of the above work with [name]Kevin[/name] except for Raffety, and it’s not the best combo…Oops!
Some more with [name]Kevin[/name], although some are popular:
[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Kevin[/name] (popular, though)
[name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Bradbury[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Christopher[/name] [name]Kevin[/name] (Very popular, but [name]Kevin[/name]'s a tough one in the middle!)
[name]Evander[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Forrester[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Montgomery[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]

[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
Good luck!
[name]Drew[/name] is my favorite of your choices. [name]Drew[/name] [name]Kevin[/name] doesn’t flow perfectly but it works.
[name]Arlo[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Milo[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Augustus[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Levi[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Matteo[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Eli[/name] [name]Kevin[/name]
I would avoid first names that end with an “n” because it sounds repititious with [name]Kevin[/name]. I like names that end in vowels or softer consonant sounds, like “s” to match [name]Kevin[/name] better.

Good luck!
