Boy name suggestions

Hi all!

We just joined team boy, I have opened up the discussion on names. We previously weren't discussing names because I didn't want to worry about names we didn't have to think about (i.e. my giant list of girl names that I love).

I just want to get some more suggestions for boy names, because there are very few I've found that I like enough to consider using. I'm not huge on nicknames so that's not a consideration, but if there's a cute one I might use it. So far this is my list:

Isaac

Benjamin (nn Benji)

Rowan

DH vetoed Hayden and Emerson and TBH I wasn't too sure of them myself, but I still sort of like them.

ETA: Here are some from my list of maybes and likes that I wouldn't/can't use, in case it helps - Silas, Sebastian, Levi, Vincent, Samuel, Grayson, Pierce, Jasper, Nicholas, Daniel, Oliver

I love all 3 of yours. I think I like Isaac the best because it has such unique letters and I just love the meaning.

I like Benjamin, but it is pretty common.

I like Rowan, but I hear it on both genders and for me, that wasn't something I wanted. It might be NBD to you.

I also like Silas, Levi, and Oliver from your list.

you seem to like Old Testament names, Maybe Asher or Abel?

Thank you! I like Isaac the best too, but I have hesitation about going with the first name we both like - you know like going with the first wedding dress you try on? lol

haha. I know the feeling. I have several children and the hardest to name was the one I knew going in what I wanted to name her. It just couldn't be that easy, right? I kept making lists and second guessing myself. We ended up using the name we loved for a long time and have no regrets :)
