Baby boy name suggestions

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I've got a baby boy due in June.

I cant decide on a name, the name that i really like is Anthony, im not sure if i should name him Anthony Damien or Anthony Enrique, last name is Lockett. I'm looking for a unique name.

Any suggestions on a name for a boy or a middle name for Anthony?

Thanks for the help,
Val

I like Anthony Damien much more. How about Anthony Carter Lockett, Anthony Anders Lockett, Anthony Shae Lockett, Anthony Cain Lockett, or Anthony Truman Lockett?

Thanks for the suggestions I'll keep them in mind but i think i still prefer Anthony damien.

If you know any nice boy names apart from Anthony I'd apreciate the ideas.

I like Anthony Enrique much better. I think it sounds nice together.

Its probably just me, but I can't get over the refernce to the Omen movie when I hear the name Damien....again, its probably just me or those close to my age. My neices had no idea who we werw talking about when someone we knew used the name Damien and I said that, so it is most likely a generational thing as well. (I'm in my early 30's)

Would you shorten to Tony or no? I love the name Anthony, but not a huge fan of shortening it.

Have you thought of using Enrique for the first name? Its a little less common than Anthony. Just a thought!

yeh, well i actually live in Tenerife in Spain and im sure you've heard of the singer Enrique Iglesias and i like the name. I need a name that can be said in English and Spanish because I'm actually English.

I like the name Enrique aswell just It's complicated combineing the names and I love the name Anthony and Damien.

I'm looking for nice and unique names aswell but haven't found many. I've still got about 4 months left to choose a name but I want to start decideing on one.

Anthony Lockett is a nice name. I'd pick a middle name that has some family meaning: a first name or last name of a grandparent that will link your child to another generation.
