So, my sister is pregnant. They have a girls name picked out which will be,Cadence Annabelle Christine and if it's a boy I get to name it. I need something Unique and strong. Some names I'm considering are Drake, Ellic, harkin, kried, Pierce, Rafe, and Ryker. I'm not sure about any of them though so suggestions appreciated. I'm open to anything so, lay em all on me.

Sorry, but the only one out of those that I like is Rafe. Drake is not that unique, and it means "male duck". I think you have to be careful with "unique and strong" names, or else your sister's baby might end up with a name more suited for a soap opera/romance novel character than a real person.

How about....Callum, Merrick, Piers (prn. "peers", like Pierce but less violent), Zeke, Cael, or Kellan?

I like the idea of giving him a "unique and strong name" But, watch naming him something too unique. Hard to say, hard to spell, lead to kids making fun of him on the playground!! I also wouldn't want people to call out his name in a waiting room for instance with a question mark at the end of the name. Like they aren't sure if that is how to say it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm kinda of leaning toward Brennan Xavier David.
Brennan was on my list but more for the middle names. I picked it cause I think it's more my sisters style and I think it goes well with Cadence who the will have some day. I picked Xavier cause it's Strong, and David because that's are little brother. Tell, me what you think and I have completly made my mind up so keep the suggestions coming. TIA
