I like [name]Nathaniel[/name] best. It’s not too popular, is timeless, and has [name]Nat[/name] as a nickname (a plus unless it reminds you of gnats). [name]Ryan[/name] and [name]Sean[/name] both seem a bit dated to me, but [name]Matthew[/name] is a fine name.
I like the combo [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Marcus[/name]; it sounds manly yet refined.
Good luck! I like the name [name]Olivia[/name] a lot.
I like [name]Nathaniel[/name] is not very common but still very strong manly name. [name]Brooks[/name] sounds too close to brooke just my personal opinion
Thanks so much for your responses. Maybe this will give me some ammunition- [name]Nathaniel[/name] is my favorite (just haven’t convinced my husband so far). Of course he likes the [name]John[/name]/[name]Jack[/name] combo.
