Whereas my girl name list is solid, my boy name list is constantly changing - I can't seem to find good solid names with nice meanings that stick.

Here are some names I've found or were suggested to me recently:
Asher
Zachary (Hubby loves, which spelling do you prefer?)
Dante or Durante
Taliesin
Peyton
Conley
Lamont
Cornelis
Cordell
Mason
Conrad
Wyatt
Wade
Clarence
Emmett
Sage
Paxton
Avery
Blake
Rhys
Lucan
Zadok (I *love* it, but most likely a middle name, but paired with what?)

Names that are certainly sticking around:
Dominic
Franklin

Any other suggestions?

I love:
Asher
Dante
Sage(especially as a middle name)
Lucan
Dominic

like:
Zachary(like that)
Conley(mn only)
Lamont(mn only)
Emmett(well, I'm counting this because it's a nice name I just have someone who ruined it for me)
Paxton(really trendy.. but..)
Avery(uhm.. but on a girl though)
Rhys
Zadok(agreed as a mn- and I like it with)

I know this is going to sound really lame of me... but I have two thoughts when I hear Franklin:
1. That little Franklin the turtle cartoon on TV. no joke. :/
2. a really small nothing place around here.
So I guess it's just hard for me to get over that and like the name.

But Dominic.. I love. I know this is going to sound bad too(in a different way) but I couldn't imagine a 'white' kid with that name.

Thank you for your input!

I've heard/seen the Franklin cartoon, but I don't think it's nearly as big over here as it is over the pond so I might get away with it - it's an honouring name for us anyways.

and I do find names gives us a certain label - all the Dominics I know are white, but the only Avery I know is black (guy) so it makes me think of it in that light.
