Default Help with Baby Names

I'm interested in your opinions on a few baby names for my son. My wife and I are expecting in a couple of weeks now. We pretty much have it down to two, but I won't tell you what those are so that I won't bias the results. Just so you know, though, Bryce is pretty much a non-negotiable on the middle name. That's my name, and it's kinda a family tradition. Also, our favorite name for him inverts my name - giving him my middle name as his first.

Anyway, enjoy -- Poll to follow.

File this in the "For what it's worth."

Andrew Bryce

I think the ew ending of either Andrew or Matthew give a better transition to the 'br' sound. I like Andrew better.

Agree, but I'd go for Matthew because when everybody shortens it, I prefer "Matt" to "Andy".

My thoughts exactly, no Taylor, no Tyler, no Shane, and no obscure old testament names.

All good choices, I'd go with Andrew.
