Your tax dollars at work

Rudetomata

So I am sitting in the police station, I thought in the middle of making a quick police report on a minor traffic accident. Turns out the entire force including the officer I was talking to left to chase a guy who "escaped" from the hospital. It takes an entire police force to do this?
Therefore, I thought what better a time to burden you with my still very long name lists, boys first. I really don't have any standouts yet. That's why I'm keeping the list so long. Feel free to tear it apart.

Austin
Asher
Caleb
Charles (Charlie)
Colin
Connor
Edward (Eddie)
Henry
Jesse
Joel
Jonah
Leo
Logan
Luke
Lucas
Marcus
Maxwell (Max)
Nathan (Nate)
Nathaniel (Nate)
Nicholas (Nick)
Nolan
Patrick
Reid
Roman
Sawyer
Wesley (Wes)
Zachary (Zach)

Also, how do these compare to husband's pick Flynn?

I've crossed out the names you should ditch. 

Of the remaining my favorites are; Colin, Joel, Maxwell, Patrick, Reid, Wesley, and Zachary. 

Flynn would be a good middle name.

My favorite are Asher, Max and Reid. Leo is a name that is growing on me.. I like them because they are unique but not strange, and not overdone. I realize Max is pretty common, but not so much where I am, so I still think it is unique. You have a good list!

I agree Flynn is a good middle name. Not my favorite for a first.

I adore Caleb, Jesse, Nicholas, Nolan, and Sawyer.

I also adore Asher

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the input. I can't say it's given me any clarity,though. So far everyone likes completely different names

knowmeinadifferentlight

Colin, Nathan, Nicholas and Wesley are my favorites from your list!

valeriemarie24

The only ones I'd really say to get rid of are asher and roman...not only because they're NMS but just because of how much you hear them these days. Connor. Zachary, Patrick and Lucas are my favourites. And no offense to your hubby but even the ones I don't like on your list are better than his pick.

Colin, Conor, and Jesse are on my list Second favorites are Reid and Joel.

Also like Nathaniel, Lucas, Patrick, Wesley, Marcus, Jonah, Leo, and Zachary (and all nicknames you mentioned). Charles and Maxwell are too stiff for me, but I like them if they're going by Charlie and Max.

Asher is great but feels too trendy right now. Same with Henry.. But at least it's such a classic that it's not trendy in the same way, just too common for me.

Roman *definitely* feels trendy. Sawyer is getting trendy too and is NMS, but I'll always have a soft spot for it because it was my brother's name long before it got popular

Caleb and Luke are great but I'm just tired of them.

Logan, Nolan, Nathan, and Nicholas are ok.

Really not a fan of Edward (hate Eddie)

If they escaped they have to set up a perimeter... He is probably dangerous, etc.

Leo or Reid

Love that you addressed the story, too. You were the only one They don't have a particularly large psych ward over there. They're just a regular hospital. I was picturing some frail old guy whom they thought was too sick or confused to be allowed to leave AMA. Perhaps you are right though and he was dangerous.

My son's name is Lucas, and if this kid is a boy he'll be Charles (Charlie) so those are my picks Really good list though, I like most of them! Non made up names that are spelled correctly and gender appropriate. The bar is pretty low these days.
