Need Help! Running out of time!!

We are having a hard time deciding on a name for our little boy. He is due any day now and we still can't make a decision! We have a little girl named Jessa Marie Nichols and are looking for a good name for her little bro. We have a couple of ideas, but are looking for more. Any input is much appreciated.
-Alexander Charles Nichols
-Sebastian Charles Nichols
-Jacob Allen Nichols
..any other FN ideas? The last name beginning with an "N" doesn't help matters much. We'd like the name to flow well with Jessa if possible too!

Thank you for helping us out!

I don't like the name ALexander (no offense, I've just never liked the name) and while I do like Jacob I think it's a bit too cutesy with Jessa. And I don't like the flow of possible NN Jake with LN Nichols.
I love your MN possibilities of Allen and Charles. Those are great with your LN and they go with almost any FN you choose!
Here are just a few other names I really like with a sister Jessa, and your LN...
Wyatt
Adam
Brett
Keaton
Arthur
Landon
Jackson
Troy
Trey
Grant
Spencer
David
Bryson
Todd
Kent
Dawson
Drake
HTH!
I think since your daughter's name is fairly uncommon, you should not go with an overly popular name for your son. This rules out Jacob, in my book, and probably Alexander (on the popularity basis).
I like Sebastian Charles, but I am fond of names with nicknames, and I really like Alexander.
So I guess it depends: If I was just choosing b/w the 3 names, without any context, I would choose Alexander Charles. But if you want something fairly distinctive, like Jessa, I'd say go with Sebastian. Another way to go would be name your son Alexander, but give him a more distinctive nn than the ubiquitous Alex. For example, he could go by Xander/Zander or Zan, instead!
Really like the name Jessa, by the way!
Hope this helps!
Alexander is just too popular when compared to Jessa.
Jacob- Personally, I don't like same initials for sibs; I think it takes away from the individual appeal of each name. This one is also too popular for Jessa, IMO.
Sebastisan- I really like this name. I think it's a great fit with Jessa. However, a rule of thumb is not to run the ending of one part of the name into the beginning of another (the -n ending on Sebastian into the -n beginning of Nichols- would also apply to mn Allen with Nichols). To me, this is just a guideline. It would be up to you to say the name aloud and decide if it's still appealing to you.
