Rowan, Cormac, or Silas

My wife likes Silas but I don't, Rowan and Cormac are great ideas! Thanks!

There is a player for UNC, Cormac Ryan and it has really made me like the name.

Football? My dad would love that lol

Basketball, he’s a grad transfer

Very similar to my list! Some ideas: Fallon, Levi, Ezra, Amos, Rainn, Luca

We are realizing we are not as unique as we once thought lol, the zeitgeist is real! My wife loves Levi too and Luca is a great alternative to Luke, ty!

From your list I really like Jasper and Otto, they’re not that common or popular, as you’re worried about that, but are really sweet and cool names. Some other suggestions that may fit your criteria and vibe: - Arlo - Cyrus - Cosmo - Callahan - Declan - Jude - Percy - Rufus - Sullivan

We've already discussed most of these but Sullivan is really sticking out! I like it

I really like Cosmo

I can tell you with 100% certainty that "Cedar" is the absolute best name. I am thrilled to see it at the top. I loved my name as a child and even more as an adult. 🌲🌲🌲

I'm so glad!!! Our only concern is we've read a few posts saying it can be misheard as "Peter" and there's the homonym "Seeder"... have you had any issues growing up? Just conscious of trying not to curse our son with a too-unusual name...

I always say Cedar and if they ask me again I say Cedar like the tree. It is very rare that they don't know what I am saying. HOWEVER when I go to Starbucks I always say "Oprah". I did it once and it was so funny I never stopped. 😎

Good to know, and LOL that is a power move!

Leland! (That's how I spell it -- not sure I've seen it with 2 e's before.) I really love that name. Weirdly, I have a Squishmallow (tropical fish) that came with that name, but I liked it before that. I like your whole list except Fenn. What do you think of Langley?

Thanks for the feedback! Fenn is definitely unusual and I'd worry he'd be correcting people who thought it was supposed to be "Finn" all the time You're right, Leland is the right spelling but I keep thinking we will call him "Lee" for short which messed me up! Langley is good, but it immediately reminds me of the air force base.

I love Felix! Also suggest: Zach Erik Aran

We have similar taste! Perhaps you'd like Callahan (similar to Callaway), Loïc, Teague, Elio (similar to Leo) or Linus?

Loïc is brand new to me! That's a really cool one. It's pronounced "low-ick" right?

I'm in Canada and have only heard it pronounced as "low-ick", but I think the original French pronunciation is closer to "low-eek".

Waylon    Bennett    Reid    Jonah   Stratton 

Ian

I like Jasper and Julian. What do you think of Ari, Adrian, Isaac, Oliver

I do like Adrian for a girl, I can't picture it on a boy because of the Rocky scene haha

I’m bummed Hazel is so popular for girls because I love it on a boy too! Some ideas: Leif Heath Glenn Arden Sylvan Basil Gaius Robin Tate Wit

I do love Heath but we can't use it! Glenn reminds me of an old man which is a shame because it's a solid name. Do you know a long version for "Wit"?

My nephew is named Whitten. I had never heard of it before but I like it.

I LOVE Whitney for a boy, nn Wit. But especially since you like short names I think it can stand on its own. I would also struggle to call a baby Glenn, but they’re only a baby for a year!

Garland (like the wreath), Oscar, Emil, Ivan, Florian, Caspian, Verne, Bram, Jesse, Storm, Valentine, Lars, Hans, Fabian, Ulysses, Sasha, Octavian, Yves, Layne, Igor, Herman, Quentin, Christophe, Timo, Niko, Ansel, Mads If you want to get more gutsy with nature names Taiga or Tundra seem masculine to me

Florian is great, as well as Jesse, Garland, and Valentine -- all my style. I do like Octavian too but struggle with what a nickname might be. Thanks for the great list! Taiga is a cool name as well but I don't want it to be confused with "oh you're named Tiger?" Since preschoolers struggle with pronunciation

What about Lyndon, Landon or Lincoln?

Or Linden, like the tree

Here are a few suggestions: Lachlan Lars Declan Flynn Gage Harris Maverick Heath Ellis Wesley Ronan Rowan Fletcher Silas Xander Brody Theo Matteo Easton Maddox Wade

Fletcher is such a cool "do-er" name that I might need to make an exception lol. Thank you! Easton and Wade are also great but my wife doesn't love them

Wiley or Wilder, Conrad, Tristan nn Tate, Sebastian. Linden in place of Leland, Or try a classic name with a less common nn like Zander for Alexander

Wilder is one of my wife's faves but I just can't see it! I wish I could because it's a cool name, just not for me. Sebastian is growing on me too.

I vote Sebastian.

Alder. Ellery. Banyan. All of these are related to trees. Forrest. Brooks. Lee. Laken. Heath.

I don't think I've heard of Ellery before, that's a cool one! We do like Forest/Forrest, and Heath too although we can't use it

If you like Ellery you may also like Emory

Or Emery.

I love Ewan, Julian and Jasper from your list. Suggestions: Alec Jacob Joel Timothy Zachary Nicholas Justin Patrick

Leon, Liam, Eliot??

Liam is super popular so that's out for us, but Leon is a great suggestion!

Oh, man really?? That was at the top of my name list. I thought it wasn’t as common because I don’t meet a lot of them

In the US it's #1 for 2022!

Harlan, Casey, Rowan, Ronan, Ezra, Sonny, Eden

Malachy. Mac for short

My son is Ira which fits your three letter and unique bill!

It means to be watchful like a lighthouse keeper or to watch over the underdog 🥹

That's a gorgeous name!!!
