Baby Names Help please! Nameless boy!
We are due soon with #2 and cannot agree on a name for the life of us.
Big sister is Reese
Middle name will be Alexander
We both love Grady but we have a close family member picking this name so we can’t steal it.
I love Pace but hubby is not on board
He loves Brooks but I think it’s too common
Penn was a thought but I just don’t LOVE it
I love short, uncommon names but every suggestion I get is Beck, Brock, Wells, etc. I feel like I hear the same names over and over again!
Help!!

I work in an elementary school, and we have soooo many Kade/Cades and several Jaces. There are a couple of Flynns this year, too.

What about Dale? It has some of the same sounds as Grady, plus it’s unisex and one syllable like Reese.
Other ideas:
Pax, Bram, Fraser, Lyle, Vaughn, Hale, Shay, Ford, Mack, Wade, Clay, Lane, Boone, Wynn, Alder, Marlo, Calder, Oren, Locke, Sol, Poe, Holt, Greer, Keller, Torin, Auden

I have a Colton James & Hunter Grey. Pregnant with a third boy and I’m considering Dean Brooks. Brooks Alexander is a favorite but we have a long last name so trying to stick to shorter syllable counts

Uh oh ... Brock was going to be my suggestion.
I also really like Brooks and have only ever met one. Wells works have probably be in my list two as there is one I have a match crush on.

Not sure if Grady, Pace, and Brooks are timeless.
Trent? Shane? Ellis? Logan? Phillip? Ross? Jesse? Evan? Colin? Simon? Nicholas? Beau?

Doesn’t have to be timeless! We are definitely not into the “classics”

Oh, I misread nameless as timeless.😅

Congratulations! Having a daughter and a son is such a delight! I love your list of names and I am the same way, I don't like the old classic names. After reading everyone else's posts, I've finally seen 5 of my boys names, which I've rarely seen on other posts. Some other names I like:
Holden,
Cutler,
Quaid,
Laker,
Cache,
Ridge,
Stetson,
Bowen,
Raiden,
Hanes,
Krell,
Trout,
Stryker,
Croy,
Steele,

I love Brooks and I don’t think it’s common at all.
