I think I might scratch Holden from the list because when it's said with your last name it sounds like "holdin' back." Just a thought!

there are four on there that I like about equally - I voted for Holden, but also like Trevor, Conner (if you'd use 2 ns) and Colton a lot - I like Logan, but it has 'gone to the girls' somewhat

I wouldn't use either of the 1-syllable ones (Dean or Reed) with Beck - it's too abrupt sounding

I'm just not a fan of Corbin or Grady

good luck

I'm a fan of the name Holden. But Holden Beck just doesn't seem like a good combination to me. Makes me think of the song with the line, "Holdin' back the years . . . "

I love Holden so voted for that, but as soon as I did, I realized that it sounds a lot like "holding back". Not sure if that is a horrible thing, but it would be enough to make me change my vote (although that wasn't an option).

Dean - I like this, very strong, but Dean Beck is a bit choppy
Grady - Goes well with Alaina, but the name doesn't do much for me
Trevor - I find it boring
Conor - Dislike the spelling and Connor is a bit overdone
Holden - mentioned above
Reed - Love it
Corbin - Really love it... this is what I would have changed my vote to
Colton - nms, seems trendy and hickish
Logan - nice

I was so surprised Holden was winning! To be honest, it's my favorite from this list, but I couldn't vote for "holdin' back" ... and glad to see it's not just my crazy mind hearing that. LOL I did want to suggest Walden as an alternative, however. ;)


I'd nix Dean and Reed with your one-syllable ln, and Corbin as well (don't care for the corBIN BECK prominent B syllables back-to-Beck ... couldn't resist ).


Logan got my vote, in the end. I love the name, but generally hesitate to vote for it thanks to its ever-increasing popularity. Still, if that's not a concern, it is a wonderful name.

I think of the cheer "Hold em' back, Hold em' back, WAY back". It's not terrible & who knows, he may end up being a football player, but I just couldn't vote for it. Alone (not taking the ln into consideration) it is my favorite, but I ended up voting for Conor. It just sounds best with Beck.
