    We are also struggling with boys names but I'll throw ya some that we have talked about:

    Everett, Dexter "Dex", Graham, Leo, Reagan, Rowan, Ronan, Finn, Jasper, Aiden.

    Or you could always go with Sawyer. :) Thats our sons name, I know its increasing in popularity but still unique in my eyes and I think it fits with yours so far! Good luck!

    I just don't get the need for your kid to have a younique name. I'm a fan of the Supreme Court Test myself. You little Caspian will never be a Supreme Court Justice. 

    Just my 2 cents. We can agree to disagree.

    @mamaloaf‌ what is the Supreme Court test?
    @blackpearl08   Could you see the child's name as a supreme court justice? Meaning something respectable, dignified, appropriate, etc. For example, something like Rainbow Butterfly would fail. I'm just of the opinion that some names nowadays are ridiculous and we chose to use a traditional name vs. making one up. I wanted my daughter to have a name that will be taken seriously when she is an adult. I want people to respect her and her name. 

    Clearly, many people disagree with my philosophy.

    Thanks @mamaloaf for the explanation.  I had never heard that one before.  

    I disagree with this line of thinking.  One's resume/background should certainly weigh more than their name.  Furthermore, just because only men of a certain class/background had that job for 100+ years, the names probably do tend to look the same.  However, you have Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court justice.  I assume that name is made up.  Doing a quick wikipedia search also yielded some gems:  Wiley Blount, Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, Bushrod Washington, and Salmon Chase (which could be like Rainbow).  

    People subconsciously discriminate against people all the time based on name and what they think it means about a person's ethnicity, class, background but I do hope we start to do better as a society along those lines.

    Yes, what is on the resume SHOULD matter more than the name. But right niw, when almost every job posting gets hundreds of applicants, many of whom are qualified, hiring managers will throw people out for much less. If I was holding 24 resumes of qualified individuals for one professional job, I'd probably roll my eyes and throw out Kinsley before I threw out Katherine.

    I also like the supreme court test. If you can't say "please stand for the honorable justice (name)" and have it sound respectable, try again. Unless your great ambition is for your kid to be a reality TV star. In that case, go Caydyn all the way.

    I have worked with several hiring managers actually. In situations where there are too many qualified applicants to possibly interview them all, a lot of superficial means are used to thin the pack. It's not your fault that your parents may have given you an unprofessional sounding name. It's also not your fault if you couldn't afford a fancy private college education so you went to public school instead. That doesn't mean your college choice won't be used to weed you out. Unfortunately that is life. Is it right? Nope. But that's how it goes sometimes. Which is why I'd rather stick to a traditional, or at least not-made-up-or-spelled-weird name. To each her own though. Just consider the consequences of your actions.

    Comparing a college someone went to with their name is crap and you know it.

    Are you intentionally failing to see the point everyone is making? Sure it would be nice if the world worked on what is "fair" but it's far from it. These women are pointing that out. Obviously no one can keep you from naming your kid some bullshit made up word but quit playing devils advocate on advice that is only trying to look out for the kid. I'm really not sure what world you live in

    Omg...sit down with your SO and decide on what the two of you want to name your son, not what anyone else thinks you should...part of the beauty of having a child is that you get to name your little Supreme Court Justice whatever you want.

    If you want original..and embarrassing I and my husbands family FINALLY talked my husband out of his family name (which his own grandfather w/the name legally changed it). His grandfather's name was Liberato and my husband said we could call him "Libby." Finally we decided on Simon Aniello.

    I had a student named Zane which I love that name and it isn't one you hear too often.
