Boys Names Are So Tough!

in Baby Names
DH and I don't know the sex yet but we will talk about names regularly. We have a couple of girl names but we don't have boy names that sound perfect yet. We have different tastes which is fine but it does make it harder with a boy name. I would like to have 1 or 2 possibilities that we really love. 

Our favorite boy name is Liam but that is not even a choice anymore because it is the most popular name on the planet. DH's other favorite name is Caleb, which is still not my favorite but I haven't taken it off the table. I would use Caleb if we can't come up with anything else because it is not my favorite but not a bad name at all, just nms.

Names my DH likes: Hayden, Caleb, Ethan, Keaton, Xavier, Miles, Bryce, Soren    (Ethan and Bryce are growing on me the most)

Names I like but my DH does not: Zachary, Nathan, Shane, Joshua, Micah, Damian

I would be happy with a name from his list but I just wanted to see any suggestions that I may not be thinking of? Last name is Tuttle to help with name suggestions (pronounced like cuddle but with a T)   I will not use the name Matthew or Eric because those are my brother's names.

    I was thinking the same as @wassuphoes, that Ethan is similarly popular as Liam.
    Have you looked up what the too names are in your state? Maybe one of those is less common in your area?

    Ethan is #10 in my state. 

    Caleb, my husband's other favorite is #21.

    Also, we are not using Liam because well yes it is popular in general but we can name like 5 or 6 people who had boys and all named their sons Liam.

    For me the name Caleb came off the table because I discovered it meant face like a dog (paraphrasing). I don't usually care too much about name meanings (my daughters name is Lilith, not a good meaning) but for some reason I just couldn't name my kid such an obvious insult!
