Hi! I really love the name Alexander for a boy. That is definitely my number one pick out of your list and for me and DH as well ;)

The Braden/Jayden/Caden/Hayden trend is overwhelming right now. To me, an old favorite like Alexander or even Tyler would actually be fresh (how ironic huh?).

I voted for Parker in the end but Brady as a given name would have gotten my vote. Braden just seems to blend in with the Aidan etc. trend.

Congratulations! I voted for Carson, but none were just jumping out at me. I just wanted to tell you that a lot of those names are really really common right now. Anything that sounds like 'Aden' (i.e. Braden, Hayden, Aiden, Jaden, Caden, etc.) is super popular right now. My son has a Braden and a Hayden in his class. The only other thing I was going to say was that most likely no one would call Braden "Brady" or Colton "Cole." Alex and Luke I'm sure would work, but i know a few Colton's also, and I think people don't even realize those are nicknames for them. I mean, they seem like completely different names from their originals. Just my opinion!!! My kids' names are super common (Noah and Collin) and I HATE it! Everywhere we go I hear another mother calling their kid Noah or Collin! Anyway, good luck with the baby!!! HTH :o)

Braden (nn Brady) - Braden is REALLY trendy right now along with the other -aden names (Aidan, Caden, Hayden, Zayden, Jaden, Graydon, etc.) Since you will use the nn Brady anyways, I would just name him Brady to avoid the trendy factor.
Parker - I like this. I have seen it going to the girls a bit, but I prefer it for boys
Carson - Love it, this got my vote. It is handsome. Again, have seen it going to girls (Carsyn) but it is all boy to me.
Alexander (nn Alex) -Like this, although it is popular. I also like the nn Ander or Anders
Lucas (nn Luke) - Lucas seems too soft to me but I love Luke on its own.
Tyler - boring
Colton (nn Cole) - I like Cole on its own or as a nn for Nicholas, but Colton seems trendy

There is quite a variety of styles on there, but here are some suggestions of other names you might like...

Here are names that I find similar to Alexander and Luke:
Asher nn Ash
Micah nn Mikey/Mike
William nn Liam
Joseph nn Joey
Theodore nn Theo
Everett nn Rhett
Graham nn Gray
Tobias nn Toby

Here are names that I find similar to Carson and Parker
Thatcher nn Thatch
Fletcher
Wesley nn Wes
Calder nn Cal
Thaddeus nn Thad
Ashton nn Ash
Holden
Calman nn Cal
Tucker
Ryder
Rafe
Anders

Here are names that I find similar to Lucas and Tyler:
Trevor
Logan
Dalton
Jacob nn Jake
Joshua nn Josh
Kyle nn Ky
Eric
Adam
Nathan nn Nate
Elliot nn Eli
Shane
