I like several of your choices, but chose Camden! I still mention Camden to Dh for this baby, but he still doesn't seem to have warmed up to the name at all.

Garren--Like this one a lot.
Isaan--Like it, but probably wouldn't use it myself.
Bretton--Seems close to Brennan or Brendan, which I love, so I would use those instead. (and did!)
Camden--LOVE it
Conlan--Like it
Harlan--Okay
Davan--Not sure if I am saying this one correctly
Rylan--I love this name, suggested it to DH because his name is Ryan, and he thought it sounded like a girls name, so it was off my list :(
Kainen--Reminds me too much of Caiden
Candan--a lot like Camden

I just asked dh about these names and he only likes: Garren, Isaan, and Rylan. :( I like all 3, obviously, they're on my list. Not sure if Rylan is too close to Logan's mn Ryley. I think Garren is my favourite and Isaan follows closely behind, not to sway anyone's votes though. ;)

Rylan and Ryley are very close.

This might sounds stupid, but you totally made my day by putting Harlan on your list. What a fantastic name! It's classic, distinguished and familiar, but it's adorable on a baby boy, sounds modern alongside trendier names and has no teasing potential. It's wonderful!

I also love Bretton, as you may recall, and Camden and Conlan are nice. Conlan makes me think of Colman -- did you think of Colman?

Great list, by the way.

I voted Harlan, but I don't hate any of these. Rylan and Kainan and Candan are very much not my style, but I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I met a boy with one of those names. I did just meet a little girl named Rylinn, for what it's worth, and her mother told me there's another little girl in Rylinn's form called Reillyn. (I think I'm remembering that spelling right. Either way, both names were said "RI-linn." I dont know if that's how you say Rylan or if it's like Dylan with an "r," but it's something to keep in mind, maybe.

Good luck!
