Yes, I know we have the final decision to name our baby but some input is always helpful--also feel free to add any other names not on the list. Thanks.

Strummer was my favorite. Big thumbs up on that one.
I also like Lael and Jaden.
How about Camden?

First off, I wouldn't choose a name in the top 10. I'd hate to have my kid in class with six others with the same name. The U.S. Social Security Administration keeps track of the popularity of baby names based off of applications for a social security card. The cool thing about the site is you can break it down by not only gender, but by year as well.

Next, check out the meaning of the different names. Some names may sound fine, but when you look at their meaning or origin, they're not so cute anymore.

Then, you should take in the teasing factor. Is this name associated with someone or something else? Like naming a kid Noah. After a few taunts on the playground, he'll never go near a boat in his life. Every time it rains, kids will ask when are the animals showing up. Remember, kids can be cruel.

Good luck!

Ash - I like it if it is short for Ashtyn (Ashton, Ashten, etc.)
Nathanial and Jeremiah - they are OK (try to remember HE has
to write it all the time in school.
I would stay away from:
Phillip (kids can be cruel with this name)
Diego (a current cartoon character)
Azariah (reminds me of the cat from the Smurfs)
and
Justus (again kids can be real cruel with this name)
I didn't really get a feel for any of the other ones.
Hope it helped out some. And congratulations on your new addition.

I will classify them this way:
Very Good: Steven, Diego, Phillip, Dylan,
Regular: Ash, Nathanial, Sebastian, Jonah, Lael, Stephen, Noah,
Adriel, Lucas, Roland, Jacob, Jeremy
Don't even think about it: Strummer, Ezrah, Jaden, Justus, Azariah, Isaiah, Zachariah, Balthazar, Bastian, Gideon, Alain, Dagoberto, Ulises, Ulysses, Jake, Jeremiah, Matteo, Cristoval
IIt depends a lot of your cultural heritage, but the good ones will work for any heritage. Congratulations!!

greetings...first off I'd like to say congratulations. like most couples before you and couples long after you, deciding on a name for your baby will be your most difficult task. the names on your list are wonderful. but truthfully like most of us, the right name wont hit you until your holding the little bundle of joy. then like a lighting bolt it will happen. may i suggest keeping something in mind. when naming your baby, think about how it will be for him at all stages of his life. God bless and good luck
