in Baby Names

We've went from a top 10 to 6 (a big undertaking as crazy as that seems!)... DH & I have our favorites but would love to hear others opinions too.  Middle name will be James, which is a family name.  Thanks!

 

Drake

Eli

Oliver

Hudson

Cole

Foster

    I think Oliver would be my favorite!

    I like Foster, too, though. Different!

    I think that Hudson James sounds best together and Oliver James is a close second!

    Eli & Oliver are the ones I like (borderline Love).  The others are completely nms.  Plus I just keep thinking Drake the snake, not  sure why.

    I think with the MN James, I prefer Eli, Oliver, and Hudson. I feel like a 2+ syllable name sounds better with James for some reason. I'm not a fan of Foster in general.

    I've really been liking Hudson lately but I feel like it would be hard to shorten. I vote Cole.

    Eli would be my favorite, it sounds more like a NN to me but still my favorite. Oliver comes in second

    I love Drake, Oliver and Hudson, but I don't think Drake or Cole sounds right with James.  I like Oliver the best, and I think Oliver James flows nicely.

    This.  I know a really nice guy (30-something years old) named Foster and a really cute baby named Hudson.

    Not a fan of Drake.  And honestly, I'm not much a fan of Oliver, either.  I know it is popular, but I've never liked the sound of the name.  And I don't like "ollie".

    I'm sorry, all I can think of for Foster is "Australian for beer"

    I like Eli and Hudson out of that list.
