Had ultrasound - We're having a .....

Hi Ladies, we had the ultrasound two days ago, and we are having a boy! I would have been happy with either as I have an 11 yo dd and a 8 yo son. Now, the hard part is the names. Girls names are so much easier for us, even my hubby it seems.

The boys names on our short list as of right now are Carson, Braden (nn Brady), Parker, and Alexander. We love Carson, but friends of ours just used it for their son a few months ago. We've had it on the list for years now. I'm not sure if they knew or if just a coincidence. We hardly see or hear from them anymore as they moved away. And, my sister wants to use the name Carter for any future son, so would cousins Carter and Carson be too much? Plus, I'm afraid Carson may be too similar to our son's name which is Cameron. Then, does that leave our dd out who's name is Sabrina? Parker's only con is I can't think of a good nn for it. Alexander's con is I have been saving Alexandria for a possible future girl.

Would love to have more suggestions. We have more names on our long list, but I'm looking for something maybe we haven't thought of yet. Something that stands out to us.

Thanks in advance ladies!

I like Braeden Parker.I think Braeden sounds best with Cameron, Sabrina and possibly Alexandria. Erin

I like Braden (the spelling you chose) the best but I also think Brady is okay as a name on its own.

GL!

Congrats on your little boy!

Carson - you seem to have many cons with this name, so I would avoid it
Braden (nn Brady) - this name is VERY common in my area, but it doesn't seem to be in others.
Parker - I think that this goes well with your other kids, but if you want a nn them maybe something else
Alexander - I would save Alexandria, so pretty!

What about:
Harrison, nn Harris
Elliot, nn Eli - I like this one a lot! Fits so well with the other kids
Dashell, nn Dash
Orion, nn Ori
Quentin, nn Quinn
Anders, nn Andy
Damian, nn Dane
Griffin, nn Finn/Griff
Jared, nn Jed
Miles, nn Milo
Sullivan, nn Sully
Simon, nn Sy
