Still stuck on our little boys name...

We want to incorporate DH'S grandfather's name, Martin (Marty) but I'm not sure if I love it for a first name. Which name do you like best or do you not like any of them? Brutal honesty welcome, lol.
I also like Devin, but DH doesn't

Alexander is the "safest" choice.  It's a great name don't get me wrong but it's the most traditional and classic too.

Toby I prefer as a nn to Tobias, and it's ok nms but a nice name.

Martin nn Marty I actually dig. It's more unexpected, it has family meaning to you and I think Marty is adorable on a little kid.

I agree, Alexander is the "safest" but also pretty popular.  We were debating on using Tobias (and Toby as a nn) or just using Toby for his legal name.  Martin definitely would have the most family meaning :-)

Thanks for the input!!

So. I like Martin, but not with Micheal. 

I don't care for Toby as a given name. Give the boy a full name so he has options when he's older.

Alexander Martin is overall best from above, but I would have voted in a heartbeat for either Tobias Martin or Martin Alexander/Tobias.

Martin or Alexander. I voted Martin bc I like the nn Marty

Voted Alexander. Would have voted for Tobias Martin if that had been an option. Not a fan of Marty.

I voted Alexander. It's a nice, classic name, but a little safe and boring to be brutally honest. I don't like Martin, Toby, or Tobias at all though.
