DH and I are horrible at selecting names. It's like we are on 2 different planets. The only name that both of us like is Grayson. But we know somebody who just used this name for her son. And while we aren't close with her, we still have several mutual friends and feel like it would be weird to name our son the same thing when they will be only a few months apart. I think it would just add to the comparing/competing to have 2 boys that close in age with the same name for all of our friends. And I don't really want to spend all of that time with our mutual friends hearing about how the other Grayson did it.
The only other name we've both liked is Logan, but we have a friend who is naming her son that and her due date is 3 weeks before mine. So that's pretty off limits too. We actually see them 2+ times a month.
Do you have any suggestions? Names that are the same style. DH keeps wishing for a name as cool as Grayson, but we can't seem to brainstorm any we both like. TIA Ladies!
Oh, and DS1's name is Landon. Don't know if that helps, but a lot of names keep getting ruled out based on out they sound with Landon. Thanks!

I like Grayson.
I have a son named Liam.
Other names that I feel are similar to Grayson are:
Derien
Dylan
Jackson
Mason
Braydon
Gavin
Liam
Graham/Graeme
Cameron
Landon and Dylan
Landon and Jackson
Gregory
Harrison
I'm just going to share our "boy list" with you because we also love Landon, Grayson & Logan so *maybe* we have similer likes. It's long because we're TTC, so haven't really pared it down yet.

LMAO I could have written this! DS#1 is Landon. Our good friends are having a boy in January and naming him Grayson (we loved Grayson!). DH's cousin is naming his son Logan (big brother Cole). Logan wasn't a contender for us but still so weird! Anyway, we are now loving Beckett, Hunter and Levi.
I legit can't get over this post!!

I love Cole! Another name taken in our world by a friend's LO. And I like Beckett, Hunter and Levi. DH "Beckett sounds like the soccer player." "We went to HS with Levi." "I don't like Hunter." That's pretty much verbatim from our conversations lately. I think those are all great names. I'm leaning towards Finn, personally. And DH says he likes Chance. But DH says he doesn't like Finn and I just don't think I like Chance enough to name our child that. DH likes the name Xavier. So I'm trying to convince him that we can compromise with Finn Xavier, but so far he's not buying it. On the plus side, DH took Landon off our list like 10 times, but he eventually came around. So maybe he'll have a change of heart?
