MN will be Daniel but can't decide for sure on first name!
Beau- I like 1-2 syllable first names. It's simple but cute and we live in the south so people won't have trouble spelling/pronouncing. But I don't like that it sounds like "Bo" when you don't see it written on paper (in other words, I think it looks cuter than it sounds, ha)
Oliver- I don't like 3 syllable first names since the other 6 of us in the family have 1-2 syllables. Not keen on naming one thing and then using a nickname, such as Ollie, either (for example, our son Eli is just Eli, not Elijah.) I like this name bc our daughter Liv passed away and I like that it's carried in this name.
Noble- I love this name when I think of a brave, pure-hearted little boy, but I worry others will perceive it as me naming him something like "king" or "royal." But I like that it's simple to say/spell/pronounce.
What's your vote??

I want to like Noble, but it definitely gives me a “Royal” association, so I would pass on that one.
I do like Beau and Oliver, with Oliver being my first choice.
Noble is a definite pass though.
i dislike the other two options

I love Beau Oliver together but didn't want initials B.O. Lol. So we'll see; but again, thanks for the feedback!
My maiden name is Noble and people would ask me all the time if I was descended from royal family or from the UK. Even as a last name it is perceived as pretentious. If you really love it, I would middle name it.
Beau is fine, but I agree that it looks cuter on paper than it sounds.
Noble isn't a first name to me. I wouldn't make the royal association, though. I hear it and think surname.
