Help with boys name....

Boy Names
1

We recently found out we are expecting a baby boy. We were all set if the baby was a girl, but seem to be completely stuck on boys names. I feel like I have heard everything, and though I like some of the names, there is nothing I really love. We have been all over the place with our ideas, but nothing feels quite right. We like more unique, not so popular names. Nothing traditional or classic sounding, and would probably prefer something with 2 syllables.

Here are some names from our list, but we would love more suggestions to work from!
[name]Daxon[/name]
[name]Casen[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Raiden[/name]
[name]Cade[/name]
Grayden

Thanks!

If you’re looking for not so popular names, I’d drop [name]Cade[/name], [name]Raiden[/name] and Grayden. [name]Aiden[/name], [name]Jaden[/name] and all of its ridiculous rhyming cousins are extremely popular. [name]Casen[/name] reminds me of casein in milk products. [name]Porter[/name] is alright, as is [name]Daxon[/name]. What about [name]Dexter[/name]?

From your list I love [name]Porter[/name] and Grayden. I love that Grayden can be called [name]Grady[/name] as well. I feel like [name]Porter[/name] is a strong name and I like that it ages well and is not popular.

I do know that these all sound similar to the over popular names. This is probably one reason I am stuck. I actually really like [name]Caden[/name], but it is just SO popular. [name]Porter[/name] and [name]Daxon[/name] are definitely our top two right now, but my husband thinks [name]Porter[/name] might sound a bit “preppy” or something. We do get the suggestion of [name]Dexter[/name] quite often. I have a few issues with it. First being it is a breed of cattle, almost like mini cows (I was a ranch girl growing up). Also it was a college friends last name (and not one I would name my child after if you know what I mean). And now it is a serial killer on a television series. I think it has three strikes. Thanks for the suggestion though.
