This was really hard for me. I love a lot of these names. I finally settled on Keegan. I might have chosen Killian, but I think the beer reference is too strong for me. I also really love Braden. Brady is a family name for me (my grandmother's maiden name) and I've been toying with the idea of Brady or Braden as a middle name.

I voted Nolan, but I really like Braden as well. I know too many girl Peytons and Reilly's to vote for those for a boy. Killian makes me think of the beer....

I absolutely LOVE the name Killian, and we had it on our list the past two pregnancies (both girls as it turns out LOL). It's probably too close to our daughter's name, Kaitlyn, for us to use if we ever do have a boy, but I still love it. ;) Just wanted to mention that we did hear a lot of "you mean like the beer" comments from people when we were considering it (as I saw Annie mentioned LOL). To counter that, you could use the spelling Kilian (one L ... also avoids having the word "kill" in there) or one of the more authentic C spellings, such as Cillian or Cilian. Just a thought! :)

Also thought I'd mention that I really like Nolan, Keegan, Cain (I've seen a few other spellings I liked a bit more, to avoid the negative Bibilical reference many will think of when they see Cain) and Aiden.

HTH!

I voted Keegan - that's my sons name but we spelled it Keagan.
Nolan was another one we had picked out but my husband liked Keagan better.

I love the name Nolan (and I see that its ahead in the polls) so I am going to offer a bit of advice from my sis who has a 1 1/2-year old named Nolan. She has said that he has gotten his name and the word "NO!!" confused before-- mistakenly thinking she was just using a nickname to call for him, instead. (And she uses "no" quite often having 3 boys under 6!!) I just thought that this was something that you might want to take into consideration with this name and any other "No-" names.

I voted for Nolan, but followed closely by Keegan. Nice list!
