due in 2 weeks! struggling w/ boy name

I am actually a very organized, thorough person and for 9 months my Dh and I have had our boy name set. However, now I am starting to freak out.. too hard of a decision! Anyway, our last name is very common, yet you really have to be careful on the names you put with it. I didn't really want anything too trendy-- many times people think they are being original but a thousand other parents have the same idea. My husband and I are both teachers, so we have lots of these "original sounding" names in our classrooms. Coupled with the fact that names conjure up images of students we've had, it has really been a struggle. Anyway, what do you think?


Christopher James


Christopher Jackson


Christopher Jack


Christopher Jase


Besides Jase, the other names have meaning to us. I know Christopher isn't unique at all, but in 12 years of teaching, I have only had 2 in my classroom. (by the way, I have NEVER had a Jennifer-although I have several friends by that name- (the name so often used as an example of being overly used).

I like Christopher Jase. We call our son Jason sometimes - short for Jason. Christopher Jason might work too. I like Christopher James followed then by Jackson.


A few more combos that might work:


Courtland Jack or James


Cru/Crew Jackson


Christian James

I like Christopher James, Christopher Jackson and Christopher Jase (though I prefer the spelling Jace).

Even though Christopher is somewhat common I think of it as traditional, not trendy.

I like them all but I would rank them in the order you listed - Christopher James is first.
