Baby boy name help, can't decide

Here's a list of first names my husband and I like. We like Andrew, but we have a daughter named Anna, and we kind of don't want to get stuck with "A" names. Or is that silly? The middle name will probably be Dean. And our last name starts with a "K". Thanks for your input! (You ladies really helped me narrow down a name for my daughter, btw)

    I voted Eric but I think you're overthinking Stanley. When does anyone say a nickname with the middle name? No one would ever say Stan Dean. They may say Stanley Dean which sounds fine.

    I completely agree. I think I am over thinking it.

    For some reason, I think of an Eric as the kid that always has snot in his nose or one of those kids who gets fruit punch mustaches (seriously- I don't know how those happen!) or he drinks milk with dinner at 25.

    I like Andrew, I don't think it's overly bad with Anna. I also like Eric though, Eric Dean almost has a movie star feel to it.....
