I'm trying to think of some good, solid, short boy names. Our first son's name is Cade. It doen't have to start with a C or sound like the same, but that's the type of name I like to give you an idea. Some ideas are Caleb, Cole, Kale, Carson (I know, it's ironic, most start w/ C, don't know why). But Caleb & Carson may be too popular, I want something a little different & something that sounds stronger. Our first son's name was different & not at all common when we named him that, but soon after, we heard the name everywhere. Anyway, any other ideas would be great.
