I actually like Stephen the best for a FN. My concern is that Brody, Maddox and Parker are all also LN while Burton is also a FN. When I was growing up I knew a Lawrence Lee and people always called him Lee, thinking that Lawrence was his FN and Lee was his LN. We had a math teacher who called everyone Miss/Mr. He always called Lawrence "Mr. Lawrence" instead of "Mr. Lee." For some reason a lot of people were confused by that.
Maddox is NMSAA, but if you do go with Maddox I really don't like Maddie as a nickname. Between all of the Madisons/Madelines/Madelyns he will be one of 6 Maddies in his class and the only one who is a boy. If you like Maddie you might want to consider Matthew, NN Mattie. JMHO.
Brody is my favorite name, but Brody Burton sounds like a cartoon character. So I voted for Parker.

I'm so sorry. I got that backwards, but it's too late to edit. What I meant to say was that people always thought that Lawrence was his LN and Lee was his FN (the opposite of whatI said in my original post). Hope I didn't confuse anyone.
I like Maddox the best with your last name, so I voted for that, but I do *not* like the nn Maddie. I agree with the pp that he will be one of several Maddies in his class, and he'll be the only boy. Maddox is a great name on its own, and if you think it needs a nn, I'd go with Max.
I like Brody and Parker well enough, but I don't think they sound as good with your last name. I agree with the pp about the confusion b/w first and last names -- it just sounds a little odd to my ears. Of course, that's JMO.
Good luck making a decision!

My son is a Matthew nn Matty. We really haven't enountered too many "Maddie" girls. We have encountered way more Matthew's if anything (and with Maddox, I doubt you'd have that problem!). Anyway, If you love the name go with it! We are very happy with our Matty!!
