Boy name challenge - wanna play?

epphd

Aside from the fact that we are both very picky, DH and I are having a hard time with a name for our son because of his last name.  It is two syllables, and ends in -son (emphasis on the first syllable).  So, any two syallable name that ends in -en, -on, or -an sounds too rhymey.  Ethan, Kellen, Tristan, Evan, etc - all are out.

In addition, his last name starts with an S, so names ending with -s (Miles, Jonas, etc) are hard to say with the last name.

We don't want a super conventional name (John, William, Robert etc), but also don't want anything super trendy or made up sounding.

The only one we like right now is Ian, and that is kinda rhymey with his last name (but it's not so bad).

Names I like that might be good insipiration: Mason, Ian, Colin, Sam (not Samuel), Henry (DH doesn't like.).  I've tried nymbler but so far, no inspiration.

As you can see, we are hopeless

Help! and thanks...

OK, I'm liking Theo.  I should have also said we don't really care for biblical names (I know, we suck!)

I am seriously going to have to read through 25,000 baby names to come up with something.  and even more pathetic?  We don't need a MN since we will use my last name. 

Thank you ladies!!

Responding to pp - I do like Nathanial and Liam is a definite possibility if it is not becoming too popular...  keep em coming!  This is super!

I don't have any suggestions, but just wanted to say I'm in the same vote.  Your parameters are almost exactly the same as ours, down to the biblical name aversion.  lol!

Thanks everyone!  This is actually super helpful.  DH and I talked about it and I think we are down to Sam, Liam, and Ian - though Nate, Eli, and a few others may be in the running
