casey john, brady....?

Ok-I have 2 weeks left and no middle name for this child!
DS *age 2* is Casey John
This is what I came up with...
Brady Quinn (though someone said this is a notre dame football player? should I care if I go with this? In fact this was my choice until I heard that-I second guessed myself!)
Brady Andrew
Brady Cooper
Brady Evan
Brady Donald ( dad and brother)
I am also trying to think of a name that would go with both casey and brady- in the event that we ever get the notion that we'd like to do this baby thing again---boy or girl... I like avery for a girl--which was our girl name this time...something that reminds me of sports-sporty type names...i guess!

I would go with Brady Donald because it honours your dad and brother I think that is so important... even more important than it sounding nice. Your son's name will have meaning, and I'm sure he will appreciate that as he gets older. If you want to know what *sounds* best, my vote would go to Brady Cooper. I like that combo a lot, very rough and tumble.

Thanks Nikki-
I think my family (mom and dad included) would be like, "why would you pick Donald you fool!?!?!?!"
I like Brady Cooper -Cooper was one of our original name choice
I like Quinn too though...but then I think is Quinn more associated with girls?
That's what kinds of names I like for boys-those that remind me of little rough and tumble kids...which suits my 1st son to a tee!
Thanks again for your opinion!
I forgot to add-that if anyone has a different suggestion, I would be open to them!

Hi Jennifer!
There is a little boy named Brady in my neighborhood - he 100% rough and tumble :) My favorite combo is Brady Cooper.
As far as future names go I think that you should save Quinn for a girl. Casey, Brady, and Quinn sound great together! Maybe something like Quinn Rebecca or Quinn Felicity.
Other girls name:
Hadley
Ashton
Harper
Iris
Mallory* I like this one too!!
Shelby
Sydney
Boys:
Asher
Sean
Spencer
Grayson, nn Gray
Weston, nn West
Seth
Samuel
Zachary

Brady Quinn is my favorite of those by far! ;) Quinn has a very masculine, rough-and-tumble feel, and I love the 2-1 syllable pattern of Casey John and Brady Quinn. The Notre Dame thing wouldn't bother me ... it's not like you're naming him after the most well-known NFL player or something, and it's the first and middle names anyway (first and last would be much more obvious).
Brady Cooper reminds me of "Mini Cooper," so that one wouldn't be for me. LOL Btw, have you considered Donal or Donovan to honor Donald? More modern-feel options, KWIM?

Thanks Everyone!
Kelli- I did consider Donal...I just like Quinn though! I thought the same thing about the syllables. Donovan wouldn't work-it was the name of my high school...I considered it prior to posting- and said nah!
I am just being weird about the name this time around! I wake up in the middle of the night freaking out--and jump on the computer to get more ideas! (Sick! I know!)With Casey it was Casey at 5 months and that was it...We even had his name up on the wall in his nursery before we had him home! this time around I am hemming and hawing as my DH would say! No name on the nursery wall yet! (Guess when i buy the letters, I will save the receipt!) (BTW DH is totally content with Brady Quinn and has been for the few months I have been stressing! Gotta love him)
Plus, eventhough I saw the u/s with my own two eyes, I still have ((nightmares?)) dreams that I am having a girl. So, I have a girl name too...eventhough I know I am having a boy. I am telling you pregnancy screws with your brain big time and I am living proof!
I do like the suggestions you all gave and really appreciate your opinions! I always can count on finding great people to help me out! Thank you!

Brady Quinn! I absolutely love that combination. Even though I know Quinn is being used sporadically for girls, it's still very much more popular for boys. And paired with Brady, there is absolutely no question of gender. Casey John and Brady Quinn are an absolutely perfect sibling set. (I LOVE Casey John, btw. It's fabulous.)
Your other options are all fine. I don't dislike any of them. But Brady Quinn is my favorite by leaps and bounds. (And for the record, I've never heard of a football player with that name, and I wouldn't worry about it. Not many people follow college football that closerly. It's not like you are naming him Peyton Manning or something equally recognizable.)
