Boy #2

[serendipitous13.livejournal.com]

My husband and I recently found out we're having another boy in March!
We had a really hard time deciding/agreeing on a name for our first son. I"m sure this time will be even more difficult, so I'm asking you guys for ideas.
Our first son is Benjamin Thomas. Thomas is my husband's grandpa's name. Our last name is Levi, so that's out as a first name.
We would like something in a similar style as Benjamin. Preferably something that can be shortened to a one syllable nick-name. We call our first son Ben.
The middle name WILL BE Robert. It was my grandpa's name.

We have three names on our list so far, but we're not absolutely in love with any of them right now. Of course, that could change!
- Calvin (Cal)
- Dexter (Dex)
- William (Will)

So, what can you guys suggest to us?

Nathan or Nathanial (Nate)
Michael (Mike)
Joshua (Josh)
Jonathan (Jon)
Andrew (Drew)

I absolutely LOVE Nathaniel. It's my brother's name though. I wouldn't object to naming my son after his uncle, but I'm not sure how my husband would feel about it. Definitely something to run past him! :)

I like the other names you've suggested as well. Thanks!

It's long been one of my favorite boy's names :D

The others are all cousins of mine!

my son is Benjamin also (middle name Joseph)
what about Nicholas ?
my favorite right now (if I had another boy) would be Ethan (but, can't really think of a nickname for that)
Johnathan?
Steven?

I also really like Calvin Robert Levi and William Robert Levi. I'm not sure about Dexter. I just don't think it flows very well.

I really like what you have so far! Calvin is one of my favorite names, so underrated here. Hmm...

Caleb (Cale/Cal)
Thomas (Tom)
Samuel (Sam) -- I really like this one.
Theodore (Ted)

Samuel (Sam) is the first thing that popped to mind.

Others:

Quinlan (Quin)
Graham (Gray)
Asher (Ash)
Walter (Walt)
Julian (Jules)
Nathan/Nathaniel (Nate or Nat)

PS I really like Calvin and William from your list. I actually like Dexter in theory but I've been really influenced by the tv show and wouldn't name my kid that anymore because of the association.

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

I would probably consider it because of the TV show, LOL.

Jacob (Jake)
Bradley (Brad)

...but then again, I'm super partial to Dexter.
