Wow! I had the same problems voting here as I did with your girls list!

I ended up deciding for Silas as it's the one I like the most. Strong, simple and obviously masculine, I like Silas and the nn Si. I'd've voted for Abraham, nn Abe but don't like the standalone Abe as much as the full name (or the nn Bram). Levi's getting too hot for my tastes already and Lev is another long time favorite of mine !

Hard one - it came down to Silas and Otis for me - I love them both.

I'll let you guys in on a little secret...I already have an Emmet, Gus and Abe. LOL! I threw those in there, wondering what people thought of 'em. I also have an Addie Mae, too. We love names that sound like old farmers. That's our criteria. We have to picture them sittin' around in old John Deere caps, suspenders, and a hound dog at their feet. Whittlin' and stringin' a banjo. We picture them saying things like "Yup, Emmet. They say it's gonna be a big year fer corn agin." and then another says "Yep, Sure is. Say, Abe-did ya git that ol' tractor of yours runnin' yet?" LOLOLOLOL! That's our criteria! BWAHAHAAHAHAHAA! (ps-not sure if I'm pg yet-just testing out some good ones-just in case!)
