I know this has been asked about a million times before, but DH and I really just don't see eye-to-eye on boy names. Of course, we had a girl name 100% picked out. Anyone care to share?
All of those would go good with your last name. You have an easy last name to coordinate. ~

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.
I love the name Cole, but DH doesn't like it. I also liked (but DH didn't) Davis, Connor and Chase. I like Chase Owen - I think it has a nice ring to it.
Our #1 pick up until the morning we got our big u/s (when I started questioning the middle name) was Miles Asher. We may still use Miles someday. Recently I decided that I like Hunter Miles a lot. (If you love it, don't feel like you can't use it... it'll be a while before we're in need of another baby name. )
My number one unuseable boy name is Henry. My maternal grandfather was named Henry and he was a hot head and abusive, then his son, Henry Jr was a drug addict and is currently in jail - not the warm and fuzzy's you know? I wish it wasn't that way though because I love the way it sounds, and it's in a few of my favorite movies. Not enough to redeem it for me, but enough to make me wish I could use it.
DH and I never could agree on a boys name either. We both liked Logan but it was always towards the top of the popularity list. I liked Evan, but DH didn't. DH wanted to name a son Wolverine. Good thing we have girls.

Second vote for Henry (Hank). Love that name. What do you like, so we can find similar themes?
BIG Brother born 10/19/07
little Brother born 1/31/12
If we have a boy, we're naming him Jacob. If we have a 2nd one down the line, we're pretty set on Ryan. I also really like the name Logan but DH wasn't as fond.

Micaiah is my favorite boys name - it's pronounced like Mikiah. It's a biblical name. I also love Peyton, Ayden, Brayden, Parker... I like the trendier boy names right now, but I'm sure that will change. We didn't find out the sex of the baby, but our boy name was Jackson Thomas, although when I went into the hospital I wasn't too terribly fond of the name. I don't know that it'll be on the table if we have another kid.
My unusable names are.... Jake, Jack, Ryan. Jake is H's cousin's name, Jack is my dirty uncle's name and I would never give him the satisfaction of using his name, and I'm not into the Jr thing since H's name is Ryan.
Tristen is obviously my #1 choice, and it has been since I was 16. I also Like Wyatt, Justin, Josh(ua), Maximus. But I think we'll have a hard time if we have another boy next time around.
We were scrambling around a little for a boys name after Jack was born. We had a ton of girls names that we liked but struggled for a boys name. We nearly went for Jacob but settled on Jack. I like older, biblical names.
Whoa, great minds think alike! Jude was my #1 for a boy and Lane was H's #1 for a girl....I also love Jakob & Levi...
I had a love/hate relationship with my name search and had a LOT (toomany) ideas...so here is my unused list...steal away!
* Jude * Levi * Amos * Tate * Ezra * Carter * Avery * Jakob * August * Dexter * Jonas * Leo * Patrick * Simon * Xander * Zane * Dane * Cole * Lennox * Emile * Cooper * Chaplin * Orion * Wyatt * Lorenzo (Enzo) * Lark * Matteo * Dow * Felix * Grady*totally overused, skip this one, LOL * Rex
We're still not decided 100% on our little boy's name yet! We also had a girl's name picked out and it was one that we'd talked about for years. Boy's names are so much harder!
Evan - we actually both love this name, but if you combine it with our last name, our son would appear to be named after a cheap (but popular) brand of whiskey. No can do.
Henry - my tribute to the great friend of ours who introduced us, and I just love the name, but DH not so much.
Gabe
Oliver
Miles or Milo
Arlie
Devon - this was my first choice, but DH won't go for it

It must be the caffeine and sugar I ingested today, but I can't tell if this question is for me or for misha.
I love love love the name Elijah but my DH said no because he hates Eli Manning. Leave it to my husband to a)hate someone he doesn't know and b)bring it back to football! LoL
I also like Emmett, Colby, and Jacob. And obviously Colton

Names I like, but either DH doesn't or they don't go with our last name: Logan, Chase, Aidan, Connor, Harrison (as a middle name).
We actually have 2 tentative baby boy names selected for us, just in case, but I can't share until after we actually give birth (they are mostly classics).
I agree with CG that your last name should make pairing up a name easier than if it was a tricky name.

Re: What are your favorite boy names?
Charlie, Leo, Nelson,
I feel like with your FN and your DH first name, something like cole, Grady, Wyatt.
Neal, William, James, Michael, Peter.
All of those would go good with your last name. You have an easy last name to coordinate.

We are still stuck on boys names, here are some we have talked about...

, if we have a second boy, we love Wesley Blake.
Xavier of course!
Diego
Joaquin
David

Xochitl (ha!)
My unusable name is Clark. I love the name but he would be tormented with superman jokes.
Our list was: Carter, Everett, Conner, Carson, Callum, Earl (DH's gpa). We had longer names for the most part since we have a short last name.
I also like Tyler, Joshua, Jackson, Dominick, Michael, Cohen, Caleb, Issac, Milo, Noah and Quinton.
Cruz
Stone, Brogan, Dash, Carver, Colby, Thatcher, Ashton
Nathan J
Nathaniel
Benjamin
Dan (not Daniel)
Andrew

You girls rock - keep 'em coming!
So many of these names I love, but we can't use because of family: William, Henry, Owen, Neil/Neal, Liam (haha!), Andrew/Drew.
Then there's the ones DH doesn't like: Brady, Brayden, Oliver, etc.
Choosing the right name is tough!

We could not agree on boys names, so it's a good thing we had a girl.
We liked: Charles (Charlie), Sam, Andrew, Jackson.
We had picked Lane for a boy.
I've (funnily enough) always liked Clark and Kent. NOT TOGETHER, obviously.
I really like Micah, Aiden, or Ethan.
Should this baby be a boy we are going to name him Porter James. Which is why I'm sure it's a girl because we can't agree on girl names, lol.
My favorite boy's name is Noah but TJ doesn't like it. Others I like: Caleb, Ethan, Evan, Ian, Liam (you could do JR!
), Logan, Neil, and Owen.
