Boy names- cut or keep

I have several boys names I am on the fence about and it seems there is NO name that my husband loves so Im working on trying to narrow them down myself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, we are using a family name as a middle name (same as mine and my daughters) so that doesn't alter my decision at all. 

Reid- Is it becoming too popular? I have loved this forever

Graham-

Gradin- sp?

Graer-

Park-

Leland-

Harper- too weird bc its so popular as a girls name now?

Arlo

Silas

Reid - Love it, and if you have forever then does it really matter how popular it is?

 Graham - Also really nice

Gradin - Not bad but I would change the sp. Not sure to what but it just looks a little funny to me. 

Graer - Ok

Park - No. I feel like other kids would find it really easy to make fun him. Parker, though is a nice alternative. 

Leland - Love it! So cute!

Harper - Not a huge fan. 

Arlo - Same as Harper, though it does seem unique. 

Silas - Again, not a huge fan.


Interesting list of names! I love seeing what other ppl like!

I live in a really big city and have never heard the name Reid. EVER! It's the Hudson's, Logan's, Aiden's... But definitely no Reid.

This. Reid and Graham aren't really my style, but they are far better than the other options, IMO. 

ETA: If Reid is what you have loved for a long time, don't let the popularity scare you off. I think you loving the name is more important than popularity. DD's name got popular after I fell in love with it, but I still used it.
