Hi ladies! My name is Jamie and I'm a FTM expecting a boy in November. Hubby (Phillip) and I cannot decide on anything. We want something strong, timeless and not too trendy, but not boring. A lot to think about. Any advice would be great. So far Phillip is most likely going to be the middle name for any of these, if not that then James.
Thanks ladies! Benjamin Phillip is my number one but not my husbands. It hard not to pull the "I'm pushing him out" card when his middle name would be after him, and the last name. I really want to be fair and obviously for him to love his sons name just as much as I do but Benjamin is really the only name I'm in love with! So hard! Can't they just come out and tell you what they want to be named?
I agree with what previous posters are saying about Kellen.
I like, in this order,
Henry James Oliver James (Do you like Fleet foxes? He'd have a song just for him...) Maxwell James Benjamin Phillip
I like Clark too, but I don't love it paired with James or Phillip.
FLEET FOXES!! <3<3 Can we be BFFs, @holocene? (p.s. I am assuming your user name is a Bon Iver reference. I have been meaning to ask you that.)

Since no one pointed this out, I also just wanted to note that Henry James sounds very nice but it is the full name of a famous author... So unless you like that author you might not want to use that one!
Re: Boy name help
Benjamin Phillip is my pick. Oliver James is nice as well.
I'm a fan of anything that flows!
I would take Kellen off the list if you want a strong classic name
I like, in this order,
Henry James
Oliver James (Do you like Fleet foxes? He'd have a song just for him...)
Maxwell James
Benjamin Phillip
I like Clark too, but I don't love it paired with James or Phillip.

Callen would be my suggestion.
