I am honored that your son has now been named after me. :ban:

He is not the first.
 
I have 3 girls....always wanted a boy to be named Lyric. In retrospect it probably would have worked for a girl as well.... And +1 to the guy above me who says Finnigan...my best friend's boy is Finnigan McCarrol....
 
How about Ulysses S. Male; otherwise known as US Male. Very patriotic.

True story: friend in college her name was Crystal Frost, her fathers name was Jack. She got married and became Crystal Hardin. They had a child and wanted to name him Peter Hardin--We all said no way you cant do that...

Something with the middle name Danger, should cancel out the surname.
 
Plato or Brix. I first suggested these for a dog, but since my suggestions weren't taken, you can have them instead.
 
I think trying to work with your last name is going to be difficult, and besides your friends and family call you by your first name (if good, otherwise a nickname). The best ever name combo I ever heard, was a NASCAR driver, Dick Trickle. Seriously, are you kidding me!! So, lots of laughs here, but... how about:

Trevor
Galen
(both names are nephews and good solid names)
as for beer references, which we know won't fly....
Sparge
Fly Sparge
Wort- actually that's really no good...
Hot Side
O Two
Columbus
Chiller, or simply Chill
Gusher

Ok, I'm done now.....oh wait, I guess Lagunita's Sucks & Hopsolutely are out too??!:D
 
I tried to convince my wife to name our second son Porter, she said didn't want her son named after anything beer related. So then I suggested "Brett". She loved it, so that's the name we chose. Then two months after he was born I broke the news to her about Brett being short for Brettanomyces. She just rolled her eyes... I win! But I second the name Brett, strong name that's not too common and not odd.
 
I've always been a fan of names that reflect the child's cultural heritage. Could be named for an ancestor, or just a traditional name in said culture, maybe a place name from "the old country." Maybe even a combination of 2 or 3 names. Example: Sarah + Erin = Seryn. You kind of have to spell it that way, cuz if you spell it Sarin, well, that's a nerve agent used in chemical warfare & let's face it, NOBODY wants that around.

So what's your heritage? Your wife's? Who are some people you both admire/respect? Or a quality you hope he will posses? I've always liked the names Johan (pronounced "Yohahn"), Sven, Leif (Layf), Gunther (Gunter), Christopher or Kristoff (Kreestoff), Ethan, Logan; Carson is kind of nice too.
Whatever name you & your wife finally decide on, congratulations to you both & I hope everybody is & remains happy & healthy.
Regards, GF.
 
My older brother is named Sherman; I always liked that one. My older son (stepson) is Donovan, named after his mother's favorite uncle; my younger one is Dwaine, after my father.

When I was born they named me after both grandfathers. Apparently my mother won the argument or coin toss or whatever: my first name is Troy after her father, and my middle name is Warren. Not saying my dad was a stubborn man, but he called me Warren until the day I left home...

Here is a Wiki article about my ancestry
 
Suspect Is A (brief description) Male.

Average White Male?
How much would that ruin a kids self image to be called Average his whole life?

How about Samuel. Sam Male sounds strong, not to mention sounds like you actually said Samuel. Though on the down side people may accuse him of being named after a hobbit.
 
Any of these would work I think..

I am partial to L'Carpetron Dookmarriot though. You're welcome.
 
And I shouldn't post a link here because of all the language, but Google George Carlin's "Guys named Todd."

And all of the -aden names? IMHO, in addition to being super common, they fail the 10-year-old boy test. (You know, say the name to a 10-year-old boy and see how quickly he can mock it.) It's a guarantee that they will ALL be called "Gayden" when they get to middle school.
