My fiancé and I stumbled upon this website and started going through the top 1000 names on here, but there are SO many names to choose from and it’s all so overwhelming… Hopefully looking at it with fresh eyes, someone else could help us out.
We’ve decided on [name_u]Shay[/name_u] for his middle, as it’s a family surname, but we can’t think of a single first name that we like. We don’t want anything too common (even classic names like [name_m]William[/name_m], etc) and we’d prefer it not to start with an “A.” Our last name is in my username if that helps any!

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f]! It is overwhelming, indeed. Hopefully we can help you find some names you like.
I’m not really sure of your style, so I’ve tried to categorize these. Maybe that will help you further hone your search.
All are outside the top 200 names for boys in the U.S., though most are in the top 1,000. I’ve avoided one-syllable names (don’t sound great with [name_u]Shay[/name_u]) and two-syllable names that end in -er (don’t sound great with your last name).
Classic and biblical:
Hip -o ending:
Celtic and dashing:
Last-name names:
Vintage revival:
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] Latin:
Place, word and nature names:
[name_m]Olsen[/name_m] [name_u]Shay[/name_u]
