I have a few names that are on the table for my husband and I, but I don’t know if I have found the ONE yet. The names we have so far are; [name]Liam[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Crosby[/name] and [name]Finnian[/name] or [name]Finley[/name]. This will be our last child, so I am feeling the pressure to pick the perfect name for him. Our other son’s name is [name]Easton[/name], and we want to find something that goes with his name. I am wondering if another Surname type name would be a good idea.
[name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions of Surnames you like as first names?
We are trying to avoid names that can be easily shortened, like [name]Bennett[/name] to [name]Ben[/name] and so on. Our last name ends in -ER so we are also trying to avoid names that end in R.
I like them together as well, but I am afraid that [name]Owen[/name] is too popular. [name]Owen[/name] is my Grandfather’s middle name too, so it makes me like it even more. [name]Do[/name] you think of this as a popular name?
I think the names that don’t end in N sound less matchy with [name]Easton[/name], and I think the longer N names work better than the shorter ones (aside from [name]Zane[/name] and [name]Vaughn[/name]), because they at least have a different number of syllables than [name]Easton[/name].

Not particularly, I worked at a day care the summer before last and a summer camp this past year and didn’t meet one boy named [name]Owen[/name]!

From the names you have listed, I like [name]Finley[/name] the most. Although it could easily be shortened to [name]Fin[/name].
Some suggestions (I’ll try not to repeat):
[name]Anderson[/name] - [name]Jill[/name] made a great suggestion
[name]Darwin[/name] - my favorite boy’s name
[name]Quade[/name]/[name]Quaid[/name] - maybe?
[name]Cameron[/name]
[name]Carson[/name]
[name]Blake[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name] - love this one too
[name]Brady[/name]
My favorites with [name]Easton[/name] would be [name]Anderson[/name] and [name]Darwin[/name].
Good luck!
Also just thought of maybe [name]Macaulay[/name] or [name]Cormac[/name]? Although they both could be shortened to [name]Mac[/name]. [name]Just[/name] thought I’d throw those out there though.
I am loving surnames for my 3rd boy (if it is indeed a boy!)
On my list is:
[name]Beckett[/name] nn [name]Beck[/name] (popular in US, but not here in UK),
[name]Rafferty[/name] nn [name]Rafe[/name] or [name]Raffy[/name] (my hubby’s fave),
[name]Sullivan[/name] nn [name]Sully[/name].
