Boys Names...HELP! (m)

HI! I am due to have my third son on March 3, and S.O. and I are NOT able to come up with a name!!! I have two older sons, Joshua Patrick (6) and Matthew James (2), and he has two older sons from his previous marriage, Christian David (10) and Tristan Charles (8). (Yes, this makes BOY #5 for us altogether!!!)

We are soooooo far from a concensus, it's RIDICULOUS!!! There's really nothing that "jumps out" at me, and Dave (S.O.) & I have totally different taste in names...I need help!!!

I guess I'm looking for a name that goes well with Joshua and Matthew (my preference), but that is unique/somewhat uncommon (Dave's preference). I have NO idea what this is, but to give you an example, here are some names that I wrote down:

Andrew
Adam
Benjamin
Bennett
Caleb
Daniel
Jared
Jesse
Jonah
Nathan
Nicholas
Samuel
Sean/Shawn
Trevor

Here are some that Dave wrote down:

Walker
Thane
Piers(Pierce)
Osborn
Lachlan
Lance
Elton
Clive
Brennan
Averill
Axel
Ashley
Alton
Allister
Adler
Ace
Abel

Here is a somewhat agreed-upon list (ones that we're both okay with but not sold on):

Dane
Curtis
Timothy
Jacob
William
Ethan
Jacob
Bryce

We're not really on the same page, as you can see.

I recently started thinking about the name Colby...does it go w/Josh(ua) & Matt(hew)? Dave *said* he liked it, but he often just goes w/what I say to avoid argument...I really HATE when he does that b/c it gets me thinking about a name (or starting to like it) and then he says he didn't like it after all. (He did this with Nathan & Kyle too)...

We both like the name Jace, and I was thinking maybe Colby Jace with the nickname C.J. I just don't know. We could also use Curtis and another "J" middle name & still use the nn C.J. (for some reason, CJ is growing on me.) We've gone through the baby book a million times, and still nothing strikes me. I've looked online...nada...starting to get really frustrated and we're running out of time.

Anyone have an input or other ideas??? Thanks in advance!!! (P.S. The baby will have my last name--Miller.)

Thanks!

Tina, Maybe you could try a common name and find a unique way to spell it,,, that is what I have done having found myself in a similar situation. My sons name will be Caelobe Jake and leaving the option open for C.J. I like your suggestion of Colby Jayce. Good Luck!!

I like several of those names and heres some combos I like. Trevor Thane, Bryce Walker, Jacob Dane. I also like Jace. I don't care for Colby or C.J. I just don't like those initial names. But Good luck.

I am in your same boat... trying to name boy number three. My boys names are Tucker and Dallon (rhymes with Allen). I always like to hear what others name their boys too. My dh has offered very little and nixes all of my names. I really like Jayce. That is a cool name. What about Jayce Colby and nickname JC? The only name my dh and I kinda agree on is Sawyer but I don't like that it doesn't shorten to anything. Soy? I don't like that:P Good luck with your names. I was just glad to see that I am not in this boat alone;)
