I like:
Bennett (but I hate Ben as a nickname)
Casey
Cody
Dawson
Dustin
Elliott
Glenn
Hayden (I love it but I don't think it sounds good with your last name.)
Kellan
Logan
Luke
Tristan
Wesley
Weston

I agree. I love Hayden, but 2 AY sounds in a row is too much. I'm trying to ignore it lol.

I would say toss all those names out and go with Tomb.

In all seriousness, though, I like a lot of your names. We seem to have very similar tastes. However, some of the names, as much as I like them, sound farcical with your last name (i.e. most nature names, I love Beck, but "River Raider" isn't something I'd want to call my child). The ones I like:

Adam, Beau, Benjamin, Bennett, Brennan, Brighton, Casey, Charlie, Edward, Eli, Elijah, Elliott, Evan, Gavin, Isaac, James, Levi, Luke, Michael, Milo, Nicholas, Ryan, Seth, William, Zachary

[skittles22088.livejournal.com]

Tomb lol. That's a new one. My husband jokes around saying we should name a son Darth! It sucks because I used to like the name Ryder... but can't use that now, can I? Ryder Raeder... poor kid.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

No, Ryder Raeder would be a bit much, but Ryan is a nice alternative... Ryan Raeder is actually quite nice.

I have to say I really, really, really love the name Brighton. Casey has special spot in my heart too, and I also really like Tobias/Toby, Sullivan/Sully, Harrison, Sebastian, Todd, Vincent, Nicolas, Luke, Jack, Evan, Diesel, Dante, Beau, Benjamin, Alexander, Carlisle and Gabriel.

And while I'm not a big fan of Aiden/Aidan/et cetera, I am kind of partial to it spelt Aden.
