Narrowing Down Boy Names

[kath16]

I still have some time (24 weeks today) but we cannot come up with a firm decision on a name for DS2.

DS1 is <DELETED>

For 2, we have narrowed it down to:

Nathan
Jordan
Quentin (H loves this, I'm 'meh' on it)

I also like Asher, but H doesn't love it.

Thoughts? Last name is two syllables and starts with L. Middle name will likely be either William, Louis or Gregory.

I like Jordan, but I feel like it doesn't "go" with Samuel.

I think Nathan is the best choice from that group.

I'm definitely open to other suggestions. I can't get a good feel for how open my H is at this point though.

Of the 3, I'd rank them:

1. Nathan (this goes best with Samuel)
2. Quentin
3. Jordan (this is popular among girls now, so I would rule it out for that reason, personally)

Suggesting
Timothy
Raymond
Garrett
Wesley
Bennett
Andrew
Marcus
Everett
William
Heath
Vaughn

[billyhorrible]

Nathan is the best of the group

[Widget123]

Nathan is my favorite of your list then Quentin.

[scoutradley]

Jordan is my favorite name in the group but I feel like Nathan is a better sibling name for Samuel.
I second Wesley as a suggestion.

[reginaphalange]

1. Jordan
2. Nathan
3. Quentin

[honeylemon]

I actually like Quentin a lot.

What about Nathaniel? I prefer it over Nathan.

Ezra
Abram
Nicolas
Gabriel
Gideon
Adam
Philip
Calvin

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Nathan, or better yet, Nathaniel.

Never mind on Nathaniel, the ending is just too similar to your older son's name.

[ottertails]

Jordan leans too unisex next to your son's name. Nathan is my favorite off your list.

Suggestions (a lot of -n endings because that seems to be what you both like):
Arthur
Henry
Conan
Ian
Anders
Ronan
Frederick
Gavin
Oscar
Malcolm
Dominic
Declan
Oliver
Cyrus
Owen
Hugo
Ivan
Aaron
Orion
Stellan
Elias
Finnian
Cormac
Ethan
Anton/Anthony
Reuben/Ruben
Felix
Julian
Corbin

thanks everyone! i'll talk over some of these suggestions with H tonight and we will go from there. I'm gonna delete my son's name in the meantime

I have a soft spot for Quentin (maybe with the nn Quinn?)
