It's another boy for us!! 
And we are thrilled. Except. We have the HARDEST time naming boys! I have a million girl names (I won't get to use now! This is our last), but we are totally stuck on boys. We like classic names like:
Alexander
Lucas
Jacob
Hudson (is that classic?)
And William is a family name.
Any thoughts? Other suggestions? I would prefer a name that there won't be 10 of in his class but still is classic.

Less classic but still in that vein:
Everett
Patrick
Leo
Oscar
Owen
William is a great family name if you're looking for classic!

@rattles: William is the one that keeps coming up. But I don't love calling him William. I like Will or Liam. My DH does not like Will at all, but he does like Liam. I like it. I just don't LOVE it. IDK. It may end up being the winner but I am not totally sold yet. I definitely at least want William as a middle name though.

Henry is SUPER popular here right now. There are 2 in our daycare room of 8. I think I know 4 or 5, and even more if you count middle names.

@travellingbee: William nn Liam was in our top 3. Love love love! You cannot go wrong - popular but still classic and gives him choices when he gets old enough to care what people call him! 
Congrats on your ! When is he due? Ours is coming a week before Thanksgiving.

@travellingbee: Congratulations on your boy! We're having a boy as well, and I asked this question a few months ago. DH and I are unfortunately no closer to a name, but hopefully we'll get close, soon! In the meantime, here is my old thread where there were a ton of great suggestions by bees!
