Thoughts on boys names

I am having my first baby in [name_u]June[/name_u] and we have found out its a boy. I don’t like really common names but I also don’t want something that’s too out there.
The middle name will be [name_m]Eugen[/name_m] for sure as its a family name on both sides.
So far I have found it like
[name_m]Silus[/name_m] [name_m]Eugen[/name_m]
[name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_m]Eugen[/name_m]
[name_m]Nash[/name_m] [name_m]Eugen[/name_m]
although I don’t know what you could use as short for [name_m]Zane[/name_m] or [name_m]Nash[/name_m]. I have been trying to think of names that could be shorten to [name_m]Nash[/name_m] instead
[name_m]Ryker[/name_m] [name_m]Eugen[/name_m]-this name has been much more popular lately so I’m not sure about it. Our last name also ends in ker so I’m not sure how that would sound.
My husband likes Sylar [name_m]Eugen[/name_m]
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

My favorite is [name_m]Silas[/name_m] (this spelling) [name_m]Eugen[/name_m].

I like [name_m]Silas[/name_m] too. [name_m]Nash[/name_m] is cool too and could be short for [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], Ignas… I’m not sure any of those is quite your style though and I don’t think it needs to be short for anything if you don’t want it to be.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] with [name_m]Cash[/name_m] for short? Or [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_u]Rex[/name_u], Skandar, [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_u]Reed[/name_u]…?

I’ve been loving the name [name_m]Zane[/name_m] more and more lately, so I think that’s my vote. I’m not sure on [name_m]Silus[/name_m] as a spelling ([name_m]Silas[/name_m] was my second favorite). [name_m]Nash[/name_m] I’m not really feeling at all, sorry. I love that you’re using a family name for the middle name though :slight_smile:

My favourite is [name_m]Nash[/name_m] followed by [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. [name_m]Nash[/name_m] as is, is a really nice name, no nickname required. But then, I don’t care for nicknames and never get why people choose a name they love and then call him something different.
