possible boys names

I am expecting my third boy in November and we are having a real hard time coming up with names we agree on. Right now we have 3 names. Which ones do you like, I could use some input.
Jared, Jaret or Brayden.
Any other ideas would be welcome, but I don't want real popular names. I have a Tyler(6) and Dylan(4)
Thanks!!!!

I like Brayden the best, but if you don't want an overly popular name then I wouldn't go w/it. I think Jared goes well w/your other boys names. I'm not a big fan of Jaret though.

I've always loved the name Brant and it would go well with your other boys names. Not a fan of Jared (sorry, but it sounds like a nerdy kid)...Jaret is just okay, and Brayden is overly used now.

Jared all the way!
I'm an ECE teacher and there are far far too many kids out there with names that rhyme with "aidan"- makes it difficult for teachers and kids. Jaret looks a bit like an odd compromise between Jared and Garret/Gerrit (and as I'm canadian I pronounced in my head as jha-rey...drat quebec!). I've only ever taught one Jared, and he was a lovely child. Come to think of it, I know three Jareds (age 32, 24 and however old the little guy is now, about 7) and they are all really neat people.

I do think that Brayden would go nicely, but the "aiden/ayden" names are very trendy right now, so if you don't want a very popular name, you may want to steer clear of that. I do like Jared, but you could also go with something like Carson, Brady, or Collin.

I love the name Jared, and the only Jareds I know (only 2-3) are wonderful people! Brayden isn't bad, but it will probably get lost amid the Aidan/Hayden/Jayden/etc. names out there now. My least favorite is Jaret b/c of the spelling. It looks like Jared or Janet, and I think that many people will misread it. Garrett is a better option, IMO, or at least the spelling Jarrett if you prefer that pronunciation.

Jared definitely gmv, though!

Congratulations. I like the name Jayden also. In the replies I received a lot of people said that the ayden/aiden type names are very popular right now. I wish I could give you some name ideas, but I am really stuck myself!! Although I do like Alex, Brendon and Devon. Good luck!

I like Jared the best of those choices - fits right in too - five letters like Tyler and Dylan, and has a different ending.

Braeden is kinda trendy, not overly popular, but there are too many choices like it - Brandon, Brendon, Brennan, - plus I think there are too may ayden, aiden, aeden endings.

I like the spelling Jared the best. your other spelling looks strange. usually whem the T is used - there are two Rs and two Ts - Jarrett.

good luck
