I am a self-professed planner and not having a name for my baby yet is driving me bananas! Here are the details, please help me with any ideas you may have for my little one--I am school teacher, so remember ladies and gentlemen that there are no dumb answers
I live in Texas, and my husband and I tend to lean towards country and tough boy names, and I like old and Biblical names as well. We are having a boy, by the way, due July 14.
So far, his middle name will be Warren (after my grandmother's maiden name), so this covers getting a family name in there, but I am willing to change it if another great name pops up. First names we keep coming back to are: Major, Brooks, Landry, John, Axel, Max(imus), Everest.
Please help with any solid names you can think of. Thank you so much, I love this site and value your opinions so very much!
Re: Strong Boy Names? HELP!
Angus
Amos
Morgan

This. Major just seems like you are trying to hard. Any of the names suggested sound good.
How about: Cash, Waylon, Wyatt, Colton
While I loved Applewhite when I was at UT, I think Major is a little too obvious for Texas, but would seem a little too out there for non-Texans. I find it to be a good Texan pet name.
Landry - more subtle, but definitely Texan. Like it.
Only Brooks I knew was gay, so doesn't scream strong to me Certainly there are strong gay men, but he just wasn't one of them.
Axel - Rose. not for me.
Max strong as nn for Maxwell. I only know one Maximus and even after knowing him for a couple years, I still can't help but laugh at his name. And I like quirky names.
Everest - mountain. not a strong man's name. Even though it is a mountain , the name sounds a little wussy to me. sorry!
John - classic, strong.
Other ideas I think are good strong/Texas names: Samuel, William, Waylon, Hayes.
Ha ha! I love Morgan and Virgil! Tombstone fan?
Sounds like we have really similar tastes in names. I also live in Texas and we're having a girl but if it would've been a boy these are the names we liked.
Axel
Brantley
Tuff
Rowdy
Tate
Weston
DH is. I just like the Earp brothers.
Levi Warren
Jesse Warren
David Warren
Joseph Warren
I like John from your list. I think Major is dreadful.

I Have had several suggestions for Cash I love this name so much but it is a little much with our last name being Benjamin ...Cash Benjamin sounds like too much of a money name " ...all about the Benjamins..."!

Thanks you guys! This is very helpful...still looking and seeing new ones every day.
Baby shower this weekend, so maybe something brilliant will strike me then.
Today, I thought of Merit. I could use it as "John Merit" or "Merit Warren"
Any input there is welcome as usual!
Thanks!
