I'm expecting the birth of my second boy on Christmas Day. My first son's name is Cade. I'd like to name the second a "c" name as well and preferably a one syllable name. I'm not intending to play on the religious significance of his due date, but the name Cross keeps popping in my head. Do you think that is too heavy of a burden to bear for a child?

Well besides the religious meaning, cross also means angry...it would be like naming your child Irate or Pissed Off. What about Cole or Chris instead?

It's okay. I didn't even think of the "mad, angry" connection with it like the other poster. I don't think it will have a religious connection with it as much as people might think.

I would have said yes to it, until Simonenicole suggested Cole. I think that sounds perfect with Cade. Definitely brothers!!

I know brothers who are Cole and Cade, I think that's cute. Also, I like Cruz, which is the Spanish version of Cross.

Don't care for Cross, but I like Cole or Cael. Good luck!

Hope
