Here’s my current list of names for a Canadian/Chinese boy. Would love to hear some opinions!

[name]Aidan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Drake[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Dylan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Kai[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Lukas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Ryder[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
Taio [name]Matthews[/name]

[name]Aidan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - I like [name]Aidan[/name] spelled this way, but it and its various clones are SO popular if that bothers you.
[name]Drake[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - Very nice. I like this a lot!
[name]Dylan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - It’s okay.
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this.
[name]Kai[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - Nice enough. Not my style, but not a bad name.
[name]Lukas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - Would prefer it spelled [name]Lucas[/name].
[name]Ryder[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - NMS
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. My favorite of your list.
Taio [name]Matthews[/name] - I’m not sure how to pronounce this, so I can’t intelligently comment. It looks attractive, though.

[name]Aidan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name], just ok
[name]Drake[/name] [name]Matthews[/name], harsh-sounding
[name]Dylan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] – 4th
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] – 5th
[name]Kai[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] – 3rd
[name]Lukas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] – 2nd
[name]Ryder[/name] [name]Matthews[/name], NMS
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] – 1st – lovely!
Taio [name]Matthews[/name] – not sure how to pronounce, but I agree with pp, it looks attractive.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Silas[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name]! I still really love [name]Aidan[/name] and [name]Ryder[/name], too, though. :slight_smile:

1 [name]Silas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
2 [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
3 [name]Kai[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]

Honorable Mentions:
[name]Drake[/name] and [name]Aidan[/name]

I like:

[name]Aidan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Kai[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]
[name]Lukas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] (but strongly prefer [name]Lucas[/name])
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name]

[name]Aidan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - like [name]Aidan[/name], but I think it’s too popular to use at the moment.
[name]Drake[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - seems too tough for a little guy, but that’s just my opinion. It’s certainly masculine.
[name]Dylan[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - I like this combination.
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - a great classic.
[name]Kai[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - nice!
[name]Lukas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - another classic, sounds great with the lastname.
[name]Ryder[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] - very modern without being too trendy.
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Matthews[/name] -cool name
Taio [name]Matthews[/name] - I’ve never seen this name before, but I’m interested to find out how to pronounce it. Looks nice.

With [name]Matthews[/name], my top 3 would be:
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Dylan[/name]
[name]Lukas[/name]

I think [name]Drake[/name] is certainly one of our favorites at the moment. We love the idea that it’s Year of the Dragon in [name]China[/name] and that “[name]Drake[/name]” means dragon in certain languages.
