DH and I are still at a stalemate on a boys name.....I swear if this baby is a boy we are going to end up naming him something we just dont "hate" LOL.
So in alphabetical order - these are our 18 contenders. Middle name will be Robert, our last name is super french, so it doesnt go with anything anyway....
Feedback? The good, the bad and the ugly - lay it on! What are your top faves on the list? Do you HATE any?
1) Camden
2) Cameron
3) Colin
4) Connor
5) Conrad
6) Dean
7) Declan
8) Donovan
9) Emmett
10) Finnian
11) Henry
12) Hudson
13) Isaac
14) Kenneth
15) Owen
16) Torin
17) Theodore
18) William
My cousins name is Emmett Robert So I am partial there.
I like Dean a lot ...a few of them are just bad associations for me (irish bar names ) Isaac is a fav too!

I think the only one I have a strong negative feeling about is Hudson. This is going on strict knee-jerk reaction, just reading through your list, and not really thinking through any of the names thoroughly. When I got to Hudson, I immediately envisioned and incredibly overweight, Michelin man type kid who would be part of Fat Albert's crew. I have no idea why this image comes to my mind! That's all I got for ya!
That is the most bizarre response I've ever read 
Haha, like I said, I don't know why that's the image I get! Although, now that I think about it, I wonder if it's because of Walter Hudson! I always think of him when I hear that name!

OK, you can have Colin - one less name I have to worry about!
Ummmm, did you not name your son the same as your BF dog, LOL. But I can totally see how that would be weird!
Ed and I both love Finnian - LOL.
Im seriously just going to throw them into a hat and pick one. 
Like I said. . .not that I should talk but Joseph is way more common. They named him Camden after Camden yards It's all I'll ever think about if you name my nephew that. (I do like it as a name though)
Please don't use Finnian, please I beg of you. 
My Tops are:
Connor Robert - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Owen Robert
William Robert
Isaac Robert
Soooooooo can I have Sean then??? 
Are you doing Sean Robert then?

Re: Our 18 contenders - EEK!
Which one of you is due first? I was pg both times with my sister, but due months and months apart.
I love Owen and Henry. Owen is my nephew, and he really fits the name, kwim?
Henry and Henrik were contenders for us for #1. No one in my family liked Henrik, but our last name is Norwegian so it would've been perfect.

My sister is due first - 3 weeks before me. I like Henry bc DS#1 name is Edward - so I think they both go well together.
My mom is convinced if I name him Henry he'll get beat up in school.

yes, you can have Sean. Even though I love it, the middle name in non-negotiable and since we already have a cousin Sean Robert - exactly the same is too ridiculous so it unfortunately knocks it out of the running for us.

but you'll go with your sisters choices, first right?
Mom thought Alexander was stiff, she's clueless and this is the woman who named her daughter Devon! How ironic is THAT!
I actually think Finnian will get made fun of

I like Camden, Dean, Declan, Donovan, and Owen.
Not a fan of Conrad, Finnian, Henry, Isaac, Torin, or Theodore.
Ambivalent about the rest.
The ones on my "like" list are also on MY list lol.
i think your likes are all my favorites, except Henry - Henry is on my faves list! Decisions, decisions!
I think Henry is throwing me because it's right before Hudson on your list. And then I think of the Henry Hudson Parkway, or Henry Hudson himself!
Another thing to consider re: Donovan - while I love the name, I'm not a huge fan of Don or Donnie as potentially inevitable nicknames.
