Running out of time...please help with our boy names.

We tend to gravitate toward classic boy names. Please help me narrow down these options or feel free to throw out other suggestions. Thanks!

  • [name]Brendan[/name]
  • [name]Collin[/name]
  • [name]Ryan[/name]
  • [name]Sean[/name]

I love [name]Brendan[/name], it’s so handsome and ages well. I really like [name]Sean[/name] as well but not as much.

I like all four names. My favorite would be [name]Brendan[/name]. It seems fresh compared to all the Bradens/Braydons and etc that are running around.

[name]Collin[/name] is my favorite! I think of the little boy from The [name]Secret[/name] Garden, even though his name was spelled with on ‘l’. Having been born in the mid-eighties, I grew up with many [name]Brendan[/name]'s and [name]Ryan[/name]'s, so those names don’t feel as fresh to me. [name]Sean[/name] is not really my style.

[name]Brendan[/name] - I think this name, but just to warn you, I know a man who’s name is very close to [name]Brandon[/name] and he is constantly being called [name]Brandon[/name] and he hates it! I think it’s a little easier for girls to deal with small variations from classic names.

[name]Sean[/name] - very cute, I think this is a nice name that isn’t overused

I’m not very fond of the other 2, but they are classic core names and not bad at all.

Others:
[name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Brian[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Darren[/name]
[name]Dylan[/name]
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Evan[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Justin[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]
[name]Nathan[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Ruben[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Tyson[/name]

I’m not a fan of [name]Brandon[/name], [name]Braden[/name], type names as they feel dated to me and sort of feel lower class, sorry. And I agree with [name]Kai[/name] in that people will probably mispronounce [name]Brendon[/name] enough to drive you and your son crazy.

[name]Colin[/name] is my pick. It’s cute, timeless and will age quite nicely. I like [name]Sean[/name] too but [name]Colin[/name] is just so cute. I love [name]Ryan[/name] and had it on my own list but I often wonder if it is too 80’s? [name]One[/name] gal here says it is as she was born in the 80’s…so maybe it is? I still have a fondness for the name.

[name]Colin[/name] or [name]Ryan[/name]. I also love [name]Owen[/name]!

My favorite is [name]Ryan[/name]! [name]Love[/name] the meaning. Some others you might like… [name]Connor[/name], [name]Aidan[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Riley[/name]?

I think [name]Collin[/name] is quite handsome. It’s my favorite from your list.

Also, what about [name]Connor[/name] or [name]Rowan[/name]?

I love [name]Collin[/name] most, [name]Ryan[/name] second. Bored to tears of the other two. Grew up with too many of them.

[name]Brendan[/name] is dated I think. I grew up with so many Brandons, Brennans, Brendons, Brandens, etc that it’s boring now. I don’t like [name]Ryan[/name] but it’s an ok choice a bit overused. [name]Collin[/name] is lovely. [name]Sean[/name] is also nice. Good luck!

I like [name]Ryan[/name].

Have you considered [name]Brennan[/name]?
