Need help with a boy name!

so i usually just lurk on the bump, but am now 36w4d pg w/ a boy and we still don't have a name!  my dh loves the name jett- he has been using it since before we found out it is a boy.  i don't really have a problem with jett except for the fact that dh is a pilot- i don't want lo to feel pressured into aviation or feel like he has to avoid it like the plague.  i agreed it can/will be the middle name and dh is planning on using this anyways.

what do you think about the name jett considering his father is a pilot?

we both like alexander.  there are several that i like that he doesn't (such as owen, brody, and dylan) and he likes robert (which i don't) and benjamin (i have no real problem except for the song benny and the jets).  please help!

    I love the name Benjamin. ?I do like Jett, it reminds me of John Travolta's son.

    Jett is NMS but I still think you can go for it regardless if DH is a pilot. I dont think he'll fell pressured later in life just from that :) Good Luck !

    Jett is NMS but I don't think it's a bad name. I actually had a student named Jett (who was so stinkin' adorable! Kindergartner) and so I don't associate it w/ planes/flying.. A few people might initially think that if your husband is a pilot, but they'll get over it ;) I don't think it's a big deal at all.

    2 of my absolutely favorite boy names are Alexander and Benjamin. So those would get my votes! :)

    I've heard of Jett used a few times lately (sadly, I think the Travolta family tragedy made it more well known). ?

    I like Alexander Jett a lot.?

    I would definitely avoid Benjamin Jett--LOL--but otherwise I think you are okay, first or middle. It's NMS but my music-crazy relatives named their daughter Aria, and while she does love music, her name is not what will pressure her into singing and playing piano. :)

    Jett Jetson is all I think of. I really dislike it especially since he is a pilot. That's pretty tacky IMO. I really like Alexander and Benjamin!
