Hi all!  My husband and I are having a really hard time narrowing down our name choices. Below is our list.  Please tell me what your top choice or two would be.  Our last name looks like Gr***er and is two syllables.  The middle name will be James, as it is my husband name (no need to suggest alternate middle names). 

 

Names we both like:
Alexander James nn Xander
Elijah James nn Eli
Everett James nn possibly Rhett
Dominic James
Lincoln James
Oliver James
Paxton James
Xavier James
Liam James
Maddox James
Isaac James

Jackson James (however, one of my husband's good friends named their son this last year)

 Other names we both like but often used for girl:
Ashton James
Emerson James

Names that I mostly just like:
Caden James
Elliot James
Emmett James
Mason James
Easton James

  • Xavier is my favourite from your list. Also like Alexander, Elijah, Liam, and Isaac.
  • Love Elijah, Oliver, Isaac, Xavier, and Alexander. Like Dominic and Liam (though the latter feels very trendy/popular to me so I'd personally avoid it).

    Love Rhett, dislike Everett.

    I'd drop the ones you just like since there's plenty that you both like.

  • I like Alexander and Maddox, but I don't particularly like how Maddox flows with James. There are alternative forms (the Welsh Madoc/Maddoc, for example) that flow better.
  • Dominic James. 

    I also like Xavier.

  • I really like Everett (not to big on the nn though) and Isaac.
  • My two favorites are Dominic and Liam. The rest are just okay.
  • Alexander
  • I like a lot of those, but if I had to pick a couple from your first list, I like Everett and Oliver best.
