XP - Oy, my sister's baby names

Nanna

My sister just had a baby yesterday and she and her H are having a terrible time choosing a name.  Their first son's name is Kamden Brier lastname.  (You can snicker and/or judge, I'm not really a fan of the name either).  The names they are currently considering for their new son are Ryker, Colton, Kolter or Rawlen.  All of which are pretty much terrible (though Colton is at least less weird than the others).  They want the middle name to be Kurt, after her H.Does anyone have a name suggestion I could pass on to her?  I fear how badly my tongue will bleed if they name this kid Rawlen or Ryker. P.S. I'm not sticking my nose into their business where it doesn't belong - she has been asking me for my suggestions/help.

What about Cole, Zane, Ezra, or Harland?

You may want to point out the association of Ryker's prison. Yikes.

Wow...

What about Rider?

Suggestions from Kamden - Keegan, Corbin, Dayton, Rohan, Landen

from Colton - Dillon, Wyatt, Cash, Tanner, Landon

Giggity. Well, to me, Colton and Kolter would be out because they sound awful with Kurt as the mn. The other two are just, well, icky. How about Ronan, Ryan... gosh, I'm stumped. That mn is tough to match. GL!

Ugh...

You know, you can't hope for much, but please do talk her out of Ryker. Nobody should be named after a prison.

I know, right?!?!?!  I'm super judgy about names, too, so trying to be diplomatic with her is tough!  I mentioned Harland and she actually told me they had considered it.  Want to know the middle name?  You'll all love me forever.

I don't see how we can possibly be related.

The only Camden I know has a brother named Carter, though I'm not sure how well that would work with Kurt as a mn.

Ryker? the only way I like that name is when it comes after Commander. (grabs Trekkie badge) what about Cole? or Rowan? (like Rawlen..only not as weird)

Kamden? Like Camden, one of the most dangerous cities in America?  And Ryker like Ryker's Island Prison?  Haha... she'll be lucky her kids don't end up on Maury with those kinds of names.

I don't have a problem with Ryker - it's not that different from Ryan or Parker, both of which are common place now.  Plus the prison is Riker's Island.  It's named after a Dutchman, as it's a dutch surname, and lots of surnames have become first names over the years.   

But I think Ryker Kurt has an abrupt rhythm.  Rawlen Kurt is probably the easiest to say out of the ones she picked.
