Which boy name do you like best?

I

This is going to sound crazy silly, but have you tried asking the baby? Tonight right before you go to sleep ask him which name he likes best. When you wake up you may just have your answer. I tried that with DS and came up with Nick (Well Nicholas, but he goes by Nick now) and that name fits him to a "T". Of course that was all the wacky eighties new age mumbo jumbo

Okay all the wacky new age mumbo jumbo aside:

I am with a previous poster, you will probably just know the answer when he is born. I debated like crazy before my DD was born and ended up with a name we had not even discussed. She just looked like a Kendall. To this day she looks like a Kendall to me

I don't know...I think I would've ended up with 5 kids named ET!

Preston.

I wanted to name our first baby Preston, but DH hated it.

I voted for Preston Blake. I have a little boy in the class whose name is Preston and he is the sweetest thing and very well behaved.

I don't understand people saying Preston sounds pretentious. isn't pretetiousness in the eye of the beholder? I know 2 Prestons that could not be more down to earth people.

Op - to other trendy names I like (wouldn't name my own kids these, as I don't think trendy is a good thing 20 years later, but if you have to go trendy, these are a couple that I can stand...)

Braeden
Caeden (similar in rythem to Cohen, without offending a religious community)

Xavier is a darn good name that doesn't get used at all.
BTW it is NOT pronounced EX - Zavier as many do pronounce it , the correct pronuciation is just Zavier. X is the name of the letter, but the letter makes the Z sound not an EX sound, remember that from 1st grade everyone?

I'm sorry but the only Preston I know is such a nerd. He's almost 20 and still calls his mom mommy. Everybody laughs about hearing him as a senior in high school yelling across a gymnasium MOOOMMMYYYY!!
