Hello...

My husband and I are having our first (a little boy) in March and we have narrowed down the name list, but just look at it at night....not coming up with any solutions! I need help. Our last name is Jennings (my maiden name is Italian and we tried one name combo with my last name as the middle and a more "ethnic" first name, but I think it looks silly.....but then sometimes I like it.) This is hopeless....please take a look at our list and HELP US! : ) *We're originally from the East Coast (NYC) but now live in Colorado. Here's the list:

Jax Calloway Jennings
Brooks Calloway Jennings
Gianni Coppola Jennings
Steffen Frederick Jennings
Miller Davis Jennings

Thanks!

Jax Calloway Jennings- I like this, but I don't think Jax sounds good with Jennings... Jax Jennings?
Brooks Calloway Jennings- LOVE Brooks, and Calloway is really nice
Gianni Coppola Jennings- looks incredibly feminine
Steffen Frederick Jennings- I just don't like Steffen or Frederick...
Miller Davis Jennings- nice. I especially like Davis as a mn

How about Wyatt, Austin, Shay, Randall nn Rand, Foster, or Courtland?

If I picture the following names on a school roster, this the my very honest first impression:

Jax Jennings - um, a little cutesy. I'd wonder if this might be a girl. Doesn't look like the parents thought about the resume when he gets older and may want to be taken seriously.

Brooks Jennings - could be a W.A.S.P. or have parents who are country music fans. Would have to look closely to see it's not the popular girls name Brooke

Gianni Jennings - Definite Italian heritage. OK, but a little heavy on the "J" sound

Steffen Jennings - must have some German heritage there, otherwise he'd be Stephen/Steven and it wouldn't sound so much like Stephanie

Miller Jennings - Miller must be a family name. A bit law firm-y, but definitely a boy.
