I really like Calvin!

Barrett, Brandon, Ethan, and Jack would be my next tier.

The only one I feel is a strong "no" is Cohen, mostly for the political reasons.

PunkyBooster · May 2013

I love Owen West and Ethan Grant.

I really like Calvin. Brandon is also nice, a classic I haven't heard much lately. I like Ethan, Owen, and Jack but they are all kind of popular. I'm meh about Barrett, not keen on Weston at all.

As for Cohen, I could post my usual rant, but I don't feel like it, and if you Google around you'll find people with more Jewish background than I have who make a much more eloquent argument against it. Just please take that right off your list.

Ethan Grant

Barrett Stephen is my fave. This sounds like a very strong name and would be cute for a little boy yet also mature as he grows into adulthood.

Any of the names with middle name Anders with Law remind me of slaw, like cole slaw.

My favorite from your list is Ethan Grant.

I like Barrett Stephen, Anders Cohen flows better {not to mention the opposite initials spell CAL}, and Jack Christian.

OK, I feel like I've been under a rock...what am I missing about Cohen?

I know! This is the first I've heard of this Cohen drama.

Jack Christian

Weston is good too

What Joy said. For me personally (I don't claim to speak for others of Jewish descent) it is more a cultural issue than a religious issue. Jews have always struggled to preserve their heritage in the face of persecution. Any family records of my ancestors that existed in Europe were wiped out during the Holocaust. It trivializes our heritage for non-Jews to appropriate it simply because it sounds cute without appreciating what it took for the name to survive thousands of years so you could use it for your child who has no share in that history.

Edited to add punctuation my phone left out.

I like Barrett and Cohen

BC&LM · May 2013

I think Brandon, Ethan, or Owen are your best choices. I am not at all a fan of Barrett, Cohen, or Weston because they are all last names to me, not first names. Calvin and Jack aren't horrible, but they are not my style.
