DH and I are not agreeing on anything. He wants something masculine
but I do not want boring/traditional. DH really wants it to be able to be shortened to one
syllable (if it isnt already).
Any ideas??

We had Finley picked out for a boy and we were going to call him Finn. It's a traditional but uncommon boy's name. I loved the name so much that we are using it for a girl now too, but we will go with Finley instead of Finn.
We had trouble with boy names too! We were originally going to name him Max, but decided on William (Will for short). I also really liked the name Cole.
We are going with Samson Kendall for our little man. Sam or Sammy for short since Samson is a big name for a little baby, Kendall is a family name. I must say, we really haven't encountered anyone that LOVED the name, especially family. DH an I couldn't find a name that seemed right and we both liked till this one. Got the idea from the Grateful Dead song, Samson and Delilah and the more we thought about it, its just kinda stuck. Every time the little guy kicks the crap out of me, I think about my little strongman :-)
For some reason, I think names that end in "N" sound very strong. Some non-traditional ones are:
Alden, Aiden, Braxton, Holden, Declan (we are thinking about this one), Ethan (more traditional)....there's a bunch more on the baby names wizard website (I really like this website and the corresponding book), but you get the idea.

First thing that comes to mind is Biff from Back to the Future. But you probably don't want to use that name.
What about Max or Mac or Hunter?
I like this one as well.
our little man is Layton. Everyone says 'thats a good strong name'. It's not one syllable though.
GL!
That's my dad's name! ;-)
Some of my favorites are:
Liam
Sterling - that's my first son's name, we don't have a nickname for him though.
Beau
Landon
