It seems as though every one of my younger brother's childhood friends (including my brother) has had a baby in the past two years. Another one was born recently, and her name is Tessa Faith. There has also been: Vincent Aurelius Maxwell (my nephew!), JoLee Renee, Kali Elizabeth, Isaac Douglas, Cadence Renee, and Amberlyn & Savannah (sisters; I don't know their middles).

Another childhood friend from the same group is due in March with a boy, and so far she likes Zane or Zeke. My mom exclaimed "In-Zane in the membrane!" So I think that one is out. My friend's mom wants to name him Jackson, which my mom and aunt vetoed because my brother is named Jack and had some pretty horrible nicknames. What names would you suggest to her? Nymbler wasn't giving me very good ideas (Nimrod?! Bubba!?)

I really like Zeke quite a bit, but to me it is more of a nickname than a name. I'm not sure what the longer name would be, but Zeke seems very nickname-y.

Sounds like your friend likes shorter names. What about:

Nate (Nathaniel)
Ezra
Zac (Zachary or Zachariah)
Finn
Jake (Jacob)
Reid
Gage

Those are all just off the top of my head so I don't know if any work.

The full name for Zeke is Ezekiel, but I'm guessing that she thinks it is too cumbersome.

Thanks for the suggestions, Ezra is pretty neat and possibly up her (name) alley.

Ah, of course, Ezekiel. I'm not sure how I forgot that.
