[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Calloway[/name]! [name]Reid[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] feels too conventional next to [name]Stanton[/name] [name]Benedict[/name].
I disagree completely (respectfully, of course! 
). [name]Reid[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] seems much more in line with [name]Stanton[/name] [name]Benedict[/name] to me. [name]Pierce[/name] [name]Calloway[/name] feels too trendy next to [name]Stanton[/name] [name]Benedict[/name], which feels more storied and strong, but still with a classic feel to it.
I really love [name]Reid[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] and it is perfect with a big brother [name]Stanton[/name]!
It is a close one as both names are strong to me. I have met more little boys named [name]Reid[/name] though versus [name]Pierce[/name]!
What about [name]Calloway[/name] for the first name? Is that considered trendy or very handsome and stately?
[name]Both[/name] appear strong and in line with [name]Stanton[/name] which is why this decision is so difficult! Thank you for your support!
I voted for [name]Reid[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] because I don’t like the verb to “pierce” and cannot help but think about it when I hear the name [name]Pierce[/name]. I think [name]Reid[/name] is every bit as strong as [name]Pierce[/name], but more classically beautiful.
[name]Calloway[/name] feels much more trendy to me – along the lines of all the other Irish-sounding last names as first names ([name]Sullivan[/name], [name]Callahan[/name], [name]Grady[/name], etc.). I have met one [name]Reid[/name] and one [name]Pierce[/name], but I feel like I’ve heard of more Reids than Pierces, so it’s probably slightly higher in popularity. Depends on your area though. I still like [name]Reid[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] with [name]Stanton[/name]'s name. Are you interested in other suggestions along the lines of [name]Stanton[/name] [name]Benedict[/name]? I’m not great at that sort of thing, but others on here are fantastic at identifying a style and giving you more names of that style. If you’ve already narrowed it down though, that wouldn’t be helpful. 
While both names are fine for [name]Stanton[/name]'s sibling, I prefer [name]Reid[/name] over [name]Pierce[/name]. [name]Pierce[/name] is a little harsher in sound so I think [name]Reid[/name] is a better choice with the softer sounding [name]Stanton[/name].
[name]Pierce[/name] [name]Calloway[/name] is just so cool. I had to vote for it! [name]Reid[/name] is a great name, but [name]Reid[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] it is rather mundane compared to [name]Pierce[/name] [name]Calloway[/name]. [name]Pierce[/name] is very powerful and unique as you suggested. However, I do like the way [name]Reid[/name] sounds with [name]Stanton[/name] slightly more. Sorry, I guess I’m of no help!
Can I vote for [name]Reid[/name] [name]Calloway[/name]? That would be my top choice!
But I have to admit, with a brother named [name]Stanton[/name] I would without a doubt use the name [name]Calloway[/name] for his brother. They are such a perfect match. Plus, I think the nn [name]Cal[/name] for a little guy is super cute. [name]Calloway[/name] [name]Reid[/name], or [name]Calloway[/name] [name]Pierce[/name] would be fantastic.
I do love [name]Reid[/name] as well. Would [name]Reid[/name] [name]Calloway[/name] Czajkowski work with [name]Stanton[/name]? But, I must admit that [name]Pierce[/name] sounds very strong and presidential!
I like both, but [name]Pierce[/name] [name]Calloway[/name] is amazing. [name]Reid[/name] [name]Calloway[/name] would be nice too, I would just love to see a little [name]Pierce[/name]!
What about [name]Calloway[/name] as a first name? What middle name would you suggest?
[name]How[/name] about [name]Calloway[/name] XXX Czajkwoski? We could use [name]Reid[/name], [name]Pierce[/name] or another middle name?
