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?

Thank you for your input, and great icon by the way, my FIL has gone on swearing rants like that.

Your post gave me some perspective, particularly on the more foreign names (and I completely forgot one of Jolie's kids was named Paxton...) Cornelis, for example, is the Dutch spelling (one of my husband's families) and Zadok is actually quite an old biblical hebrew name but I can see how it looks part of the made up trend. Not first name material in that case. And I quite like the sound of Lucian :)

Zadok seems to me like something a little kid would make up to tease another kid on the playground: "Get away from me, you stupid zadok!"

Maybe I'm just overtired, LOL

I'm not a big fan of most last names-as-first names, so I can't really comment on most of your list...I do like Lucian, though. It sounds nice and old-fashioned, and you could always call him Luke for short. I'm Polish, so the spelling that's familiar to me is "Lucyan," if you wanted a "different" spelling. Same thing for Conrad, which is spelled with a K for us...
