[name]William[/name] - seems average. everybody or their brother is named [name]William[/name]… it’s a nice name… just a bit too popular for my tastes…
[name]Noah[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. This is one of my absolute favorite boy names.
[name]Gavin[/name] - very handsome. not as great as some of your other choices but really nice.
[name]Liam[/name] - another favorite. much nicer than the overpopular [name]William[/name]
[name]Cade[/name] - I like this one, but i can’t see using it because i associate it with [name]Cadence[/name] which i think is more of a girls’ name. i know it can be used for boys too… but it just seems like a girls name to me… you know like [name]Melody[/name], [name]Harmony[/name], and [name]Cadence[/name] (actual sisters i know)
[name]Christopher[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]. Such a handsome name. it’s too popular for me to use but doesn’t have the same mundane level of averageness as [name]William[/name].
[name]Luke[/name] - only as a nn for [name]Lucas[/name]… but i love it!!
[name]Jake[/name] - it’s ok… i prefer [name]Jack[/name]… but [name]Jake[/name] is nice too.
[name]Brady[/name] - i adore this one. i hadn’t even considered it… but it’s a really nice name…
[name]Ethan[/name] - i’m probably biased against this one because i had a bad experience with an [name]Ethan[/name] once… there’s nothing wrong with the name… but i just don’t like it.
[name]Kayden[/name] - again, i think it’s too close to [name]Cadence[/name]. It would be a beautiful choice for a girl… but i can’t see using it for a boy.
[name]Brennan[/name] - this one’s ok. i prefer [name]Brendan[/name] though.
[name]Blake[/name] - i like [name]Blake[/name]. i don’t love it. i wouldn’t use it. but it’s a nice choice… it’s much better than some of your others.
[name]Kyle[/name] - is on just about the same level as [name]William[/name] for me.
[name]Lucas[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name]!! one of my favorite boys’ names of all time. i [name]ADORE[/name] this name.
[name]Landon[/name] - this one used to be nice for me, but when it exploded in popularity and there were ten million little Landons running around all over the place… i kind of stopped liking it.
[name]Hudson[/name] - i can’t get past it being a last name. some last names are ok as first names… but i can’t see using this one.
[name]Eli[/name] - not a fan of [name]Eli[/name]… but love [name]Elijah[/name].
[name]Casey[/name] - is a handsome choice. i like it. i’m not in love with it… but it’s a very nice name.
[name]Joseph[/name] - again… same level as [name]William[/name].
[name]Micah[/name] - [name]ADORE[/name]! i don’t think i’d ever use this one… but i love it.
[name]Mason[/name] - it’s ok…
[name]Reese[/name] or [name]Reece[/name] - not a huge fan of [name]Reese[/name]… i can’t even tell you why… it just doesn’t sound right when i say it.
[name]Jordan[/name] - i love jordan but prefer it on a girl…
[name]Brooks[/name] - dislike brooks… love brooke for a girl though…
[name]Sawyer[/name] - don’t like…
[name]Graham[/name] - i like this one. can’t tell you why… but i really like this name.
[name]Chase[/name] - not a fan. seems a bit too popular.
[name]Tyler[/name] - another ok name.
[name]Connor[/name] - love love love
[name]Dylan[/name] - again… too popular.
[name]Alex[/name] - love… but only as a nn for [name]Alexander[/name]. which i adore. in fact i’m about to have a nephew named Gracin [name]Alexander[/name] nn [name]Alex[/name]… love it!!

[name]William[/name]: Too popular for me, especially as [name]Will[/name], and I hate [name]Billy[/name]!
[name]Noah[/name]: see [name]William[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name]: seems like a dad or grandpa name, what about [name]Gabriel[/name]?
[name]Liam[/name]: Very nice
[name]Cade[/name]: Nice name but a bit incomplete, like a nickname. The thought of the names [name]Slade[/name] or [name]Slater[/name] come to mind as replacements…
[name]Christopher[/name]: Sick of it–what about [name]Christian[/name]?
[name]Luke[/name]: I like [name]Lucas[/name] better, or [name]Luke[/name] as a middle name.
[name]Jake[/name]: [name]Just[/name] don’t like it, whether [name]Jacob[/name] or [name]Jake[/name].
[name]Brady[/name]: Sweet, much better than [name]Brayden[/name].
[name]Ethan[/name]: Nice but at #3 this year, it is very popular!
[name]Kayden[/name]: I’m not a fan of -aden names, or C names changed to K names. What about [name]Caleb[/name]?
[name]Brennan[/name]: [name]Love[/name]! What about [name]Brenton[/name] or [name]Breccan[/name]?
[name]Blake[/name]: [name]Love[/name] it, even though it is sometimes used for girls.
[name]Kyle[/name]: not my style
[name]Lucas[/name]: A favorite of mine.
[name]Landon[/name]: [name]Love[/name] it! Have you thought about [name]Lachlan[/name] (Lahk-lan)?
[name]Hudson[/name]: Not my fav, also set to be popular soon.
[name]Eli[/name]: Wonderful but popular, does this matter to you?
[name]Casey[/name]: I think of it as a girls’ name.
[name]Micah[/name]: [name]Love[/name] it, but it might be a girls’ name quite soon.
[name]Mason[/name]: OK, not really my style.
[name]Reese[/name] or [name]Reece[/name]: Quickly becoming a girls’ name, also the peanut butter cup assocation…
[name]Jordan[/name]: [name]Just[/name] don’t like it, plus it is also used as a girls’ name.
[name]Brooks[/name]: Nice, you but need to decide whether the close girls’ name [name]Brooke[/name] ruins it for you.
[name]Sawyer[/name]: [name]Tom[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name], though not at all a bad association, ruins the name for me since I don’t like names automatically associated with something or someone else.
[name]Graham[/name]: cracker.
[name]Chase[/name]: I see this as a girls’ name, but I meet be biased because I know a girl with the name.
[name]Tyler[/name]: was trendy a while ago, simply stale now. I wince when I meet a little [name]Tyler[/name].
[name]Joseph[/name]: [name]Love[/name], but only in its full form
[name]Connor[/name]: Pretty nice, but also pretty popular, what about [name]Conan[/name], [name]Callum[/name], or [name]Conal[/name]?
[name]Dylan[/name]: see [name]Connor[/name]
[name]Alex[/name]: I meet too many kids named [name]Alex[/name] (both boy and girl) to like this name…if you were to use it I would reccomed using the full name [name]Alexander[/name] and then actually calling him [name]Alexander[/name], be a little different!

So, it seems like my favs are [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Brooks[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Eli[/name], [name]Landon[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Blake[/name], [name]Brennan[/name], and [name]Liam[/name].
I’d like to suggest
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Conan[/name]
[name]Conal[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name]
[name]Brenton[/name]
[name]Breccan[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Christian[/name]
[name]Slade[/name]
[name]Slater[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]

Good luck!

[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]

Suggestions on these names? Opinions?

Again thanks for all the help!!

15

I like all of the names on your list. They seem to fit the qualities that you mentioned from the beginning…masculine and contemporary. You could combine a more contemporary name with a traditional masculine name to further blend your tastes. Some examples:

[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Eli[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Landon[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Noah[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]

16

I vote for [name]Christopher[/name] and [name]Jake[/name].

17

I’m rather partial to the pairing [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Liam[/name]. I think it has great flow. I also don’t mind [name]Gavin[/name] but all the [name]Gavin[/name]'s I’ve met have a surname which is also a first name ([name]Jack[/name] and [name]Lloyd[/name] ). I see you’ve listed [name]Eli[/name] as well which is a cute nn for [name]Elijah[/name] as someone else pointed out and I love the name [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Saffron[/name].

18

I love all of those names on your list!! I like their flow

19

[name]Kayden[/name]- I would definitely change the spelling if you use it. It looks feminine because of [name]Kay[/name].
I like the rest of the names.
Some of my favorites from your list-
[name]Kyle[/name]
[name]Brennan[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]
[name]William[/name]- options of going by [name]Will[/name] or [name]Liam[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name]

[name]Noah[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Joseph[/name]
