OK, w/ 23 days to go, I think we've decided on a name.

Alexander Flynn

Middle name, Flynn, is a family name from my side. Last name is similar to Grodenberg.

 Tossed around Sebastian (DH's #1 choice) and Owen but I decided I don't love Sebastian and DH doesn't love Owen, so this is the only mutually liked name. 

Yes, I know it is very common, but I like that it is a classic that has been around for centuries and works well in Europe (DH's family) as well as the US. We are also fine w/ Alex as a nn.

 Please help me feel good about this... w/ DS#1 I felt so much more confident. 

And thanks for all of your help!

I love Alexander with the nn Alex. Great choice!

I think it's just great.  It's modern without losing that touch of the classic.  And it's not over the top, either.  I think you've got a great pick!

I love Alexander and Flynn MUCH more than Sebastian and Owen.

Good job!
