Final Boy Names!

I think we finally narrowed down our list of boys names....

Jake William

Jackson/Jack William

Liam Benjamin

We are still trying to decide between Jake and Jackson/Jack... and DH isn't completely sold on Liam, but since it's my FAVORITE boys name he is keeping it on the table, bless his heart <3 Our girls names were Emma Rose and Aubrey Grey

I vote Liam Benjamin.  Great name.

I'm not sold on Jake as a stand alone name, I'd prefer it as a nickname to Jacob.

I'm over Jackson and don't like Jack as a given name (I like John William, nickname Jack).

I like Liam Benjamin the best too. DS #1 is Owen Marshall, Owen was my first favorite boys name (Liam was my second) and Marshall is DH's mom's maiden name and DH's middle name. Benjamin is another big family name on his side. So I feel like Liam Benjamin is just another version of Owen Marshall in a way lol. Also Jacob/Jake is like the number 1 most popular name right now so I'm worried there will be like 5 Jake's in his class. Jackson/Jack I'm not favoring but DH really likes it so I'm keeping it on the table.

This.  My vote is Liam Benjamin as I think it sounds best with DD's names.

My second would be Jacob William.

While I like Jackson, I don't like it paired with William (almost like two last names) and I don't like it paired with your DD's names.

I think Liam and Jack go best with Owen.  Not a fan of Jacob, but Jake is ok, just NMS.

Can I vote for Benjamin William? I love those two names.

I'm so so so over Jackson.

I vote for this too.  I'm over Jackson and have never liked Liam.

If one of the choices was Jacob William I would have picked that, I love that name : ), but I don't love Jake alone as the fn.

Therefore, I pick Liam Benjamin.

100% no to Jackson/Jack William.  Not b/c it's a bad name but b/c I know like 10 kids under 3 named Jack or Jackson.
