We don't know what we are having yet, as Im only 7 weeks along, but we've been spitballing name ideas and its pretty conclusive that we cannot agree on a boys name. Our son is Matthew Michael, and my husband is very very set on Weston James. I think its OK, its probably number 3 or 4 on my list, but I just don't LOVE it. My top choices are the following but I am open to similar "classic" names:
Benjamin Paul (nn Ben or Benny)
Ryan James (nn RJ)
Weston James (nn Wes)
The good news is we have a girl name nailed down!

Re: A brother for Matthew?
I like Benjamin the most from your top favourites
Suggestions: Matthew and...
Ethan James
Noah James
Colin James
Christopher James
Lucas James
Nathan James
Thomas James
Zachary James
Elijah James
Dominic James
Alexander James
Gabriel James
Isaiah James
Nicholas James
Cameron James
I do like Christopher, though wouldn't pair it with James due to the fact that it would get shortened to CJ, and Im not a fan of that nn.
Maybe Christopher Paul (my husbands middle name is Paul)

Im not a fan of Wesley
But thank you for reaffirming that Weston IS so trendy, and it just doesn't pair with our classic Matthew!

Gabriel

I like that they're longer, classic names with common nns, like Matthew.
My son is Matthew! We are having a girl, but had we been having a boy, our top names were:
Owen
John nn jack
Oliver
Peter
Arthur
