boys names (again)

I am racking my brain trying to come up with a boys name my husband and I both like. I love the name Easton (country singer) and cant get over it, but my husband hates it and he wont let me win this one. Any other ideas are very welcome. Maybe this can help others who are stuck trying to come up with names too. ps im not even positive im having a boy but my ultrasound pics sure look like it. ill find out the 31st.

I LOVE the name Jaxson because that is my son's name, but I WILL tell you it is VERY "popular" right now. I thought I was being unique and different (he's 2.5) when I named him, and now I swear every other kid I meet is named Jaxson... Easton reminds me of a baseball bat. I like it, but the first thing that comes to mind is a baseball bat! LOL. Good luck. Naming baby is SO HARD!

Liam
Jaxson

i kind of like nicolas reed (reed after my husbands middle name) for baby a but baby b has no middle name yet

i have met enough brians in life to know that most of them are jerks...i hate saying that because its his brothers name but i have a problem with naming my kids after an aunt or uncle and since im ok with nicolas he is going to have to bend on brian

here are a couple other names i like as of now (im sure ill change my mind as time goes on)

carson
tristan
levi
tyler
jaxson

I like Preston. What about making it Nathaniel? Makes it a little different than just Nathan, but can still be called by a nickname if you choose.

I voted for Nathan, but I think Easton Matthew sounds great!  Too bad you can't sway him.... my DH has been the same way with each of our boys.  I named our first, a daughter, and he never even commented.  Then, when we were expecting a boy, he thought HE got to name him!  um...NO!  and he vetoed all my favorites right off the bat. :(
Keep bringing it up, though.  Our third son, Cooper... well, the first time i mentioned that name he didn't like it,  but eventually he decided he liked it, and the other day, he claimed HE picked it out!  LoL  My ,but we have different memories of how that happened.... :)

We are looking at Caydin Parker for a boy, and Madilyn Rose for a girl.
I Love Preston though. What about a middle name?
