Ethan or Spencer?

edited April 2016 in Baby Names
Team Green (thanks for all those that gave feedback on our girl names), and now we are trying to pin down a boy's name. DH and I both love Ethan, but I'm afraid it's too overdone and popular. Thoughts? I like Spencer too, but I'm afraid it's not masculine enough. Ugh this is hard! We already have a little girl Eleanora Juliette. Our name name is short and simple and begins with N. Thank you so much for all your feedback!

    I prefer Spencer and it's definitely masculine

    Ethan is everywhere and too matchy with Eleanora

    Love Ethan despite its popularity. Spencer is definitely all boy but NMS. Nathan is similar to Ethan and a little lower on the top names list if you're into that.

    Thanks so much ladies! Jonah as Nathaniel could also be options.

    Love Ethan but it's a bit matchy with your daughters name. If I were to choose between your other options I think Nathaniel is a great name!

    I love Spencer so much! DH vetoed it because we live 2 hours from a town with that name. Ethan, to me, is just meh.

    Ethan and Eleanora is a little matchy. Spencer is definitely masculine, and underused!

    Spencer with your daughter's name.  Spencer is all boy.

    I prefer the Ethan over Spencer! Personally, I've heard that it's popular, but have yet to actually meet any baby Ethan's, so it probably depends largely on the area you're in! 
    It doesn't seem to matchy to Eleanora.
