edison stein
emmett stein
everett stein

gideon stein
griffin stein
isaac stein
judah stein
lazlo stein
levi stein
nolan stein
oliver stein
sigmund stein

A lot of these names are really great, and I love them with your last name: [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Gideon[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], and [name]Laszlo[/name] [name]Stein[/name] all are wonderful. I don’t like the meaning of [name]Emmett[/name], but it is a nice-sounding name. [name]Emmett[/name] means ant, I think. Check it out if it matters to you. Let’s see if I like anything else…[name]Archer[/name], [name]Basil[/name], [name]Clive[/name], Dashiel, [name]Henry[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Julian[/name], [name]Adrian[/name], [name]Solomon[/name] (maybe that’s already on your list), [name]Miles[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] ([name]Theo[/name]), [name]Milo[/name], and [name]Noah[/name] (sorry, I know it’s trendy, but I like it with [name]Stein[/name] plus it’s really cute!), and [name]Zane[/name]. All of the endings of the names I suggested sound good with [name]Stein[/name] I think, except [name]Miles[/name] ends in a soft “s” sound which kind of slurs into the beginning of [name]Stein[/name]. It’s a matter of taste. Personally I would have the end of the name work well with the beginning of the last name because he’ll have to say it his whole life.
Great names! I really like:
[name]Judah[/name] [name]Stein[/name]
[name]Levi[/name] [name]Stein[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Stein[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Stein[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Stein[/name]
[name]Edison[/name] [name]Stein[/name]
Fantasic names!
You have some really great choices here, the best of (In my humble opinion) are:
everett stein
ezra stein
gideon stein
judah stein
lazlo stein
levi stein
oliver stein
sigmund stein
[name]Judah[/name], [name]Laszlo[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] & [name]Sigmund[/name] are my favorites. [name]Laszlo[/name] figures on my own lists, I think he’s aces! [name]Judah[/name] [name]Stein[/name] sounds like a Pulizer winning author to me, [name]Levi[/name] [name]Stein[/name] could be a [name]Wall[/name] [name]Street[/name] high roller and [name]Sigmund[/name] [name]Stein[/name] (I’d call him [name]Iggy[/name]) could be the hottest new artist on the scene in thirty years! [name]Oliver[/name]'s probably the tamest on your list, he gives me good vibes but I don’t get anything awesome from him. He just is lovely.
Really wonderful list, whatever you end up choosing will be wonderful, I’m sure! 
You have some great choices here - my favourites are [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Judah[/name], [name]Levi[/name] (this one is great) and [name]Oliver[/name]. I would avoid names ending with an -n as you have a fairly ‘n’ heavy surname. Whilst I like [name]Sigmund[/name] and [name]Solomon[/name], I feel they are too ‘s’ heavy and sibilant with [name]Stein[/name].
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Stein[/name] gets my vote!
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Stein[/name] gets my vote!
I’m loving [name]Oliver[/name].
saw your article. Since you live in N.Y., my vote is for [name]Laszlo[/name]. [name]Oliver[/name] is way too common for you I think. But it would be my top pick if my last name were [name]Stein[/name] because I will never live in N.Y so I can get away with a too common name. I would say pick anything that sounds fun and frisky as long as it’s not too trendy or too strange. For example [name]Sigmund[/name] is great! A lot of your choices are wonderful. I don’t like [name]Axel[/name] though, sorry. It seems very hard-edged.
[name]Edison[/name] or [name]Everett[/name] gets my vote! I love [name]Edison[/name] because it has the nn [name]Eddie[/name]!
My vote is still for [name]Gideon[/name]–glad it made it onto the list.
Is this the same [name]Joel[/name] [name]Stein[/name] from Time magazine? If so, I read your article a week or so ago, and made a mental note to visit the website you referenced to give my 2 cents.
Then I promptly forgot aforementioned mental note. What can I say, I’m pregnant…I’m forgetting everything these days.
Anyway, my vote is [name]Oliver[/name]. It is quite popular though, and I’m pretty conservative.
I do not like [name]Emmet[/name] because of the 1977 Muppets movie “[name]Emmet[/name] Otter’s Jug Band [name]Christmas[/name]”
[name]Everest[/name] is nice, but unless you have strong feelings about Mt. [name]Everest[/name], I wouldn’t do it.
[name]Don[/name]'t choose anything with just one syllable - too harsh (such as [name]Lee[/name] [name]Stein[/name]).
Let’s see, other suggestions not on your list but similar in style…[name]Aaron[/name], [name]Adam[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Laurence[/name], [name]Nathan[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Zachary[/name].
Good luck!
My favorites are [name]Emmett[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Levi[/name], and [name]Nolan[/name].
I like [name]Everett[/name] best. I also really like [name]Edison[/name], but it might be a little S heavy with your last name. I also like [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Nolan[/name].
[name]Oliver[/name] or [name]Everett[/name], here, too.
