Jesse

My top 3 from your list is Ethan, Jesse and Sebastian. All great names!

ButterflyOfFreedom · 26/07/2014 19:34

I like Jake and Sebastian.

Though I think Oakley goes well with Jenson - or Ayrton if you want to keep the F1 theme going.

If you go with Jenson and Castiel you will get all the Supernatural fans grinning at you (though Dean's a Jensen right, so is your oldest a Button reference?) :)

WowserBowser · 26/07/2014 18:47

Sebastian or Jesse

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/07/2014 18:25

Only like Jake and Sebastian.

Jumblebee · 26/07/2014 18:23

Ethan, Jake, Olly or Sebastian

I prefer Olly most, the rest of the names are a little "out there" or American-like for my taste (I have very dull taste!)

CormoranStrike · 26/07/2014 18:20

Sebastian or Ethan.

MsVenus · 26/07/2014 18:02

Out of all your names, I like Sebastian but put it with your surname to see if it goes together.

If you are really keen on the other names then pick a shorter name as a middle name.

Sebastian Kane plus surname

I am sensing a theme in some of those names....
Surprised Sterling and Nico/Niki aren't on your list. Or Rubens.

Jayson, is way too similar to Jenson.
Oakley are sunglasses.
Kane is better than Kade.
Olly too popular for my taste.
Kye is too like Kyle and Kai is a Rooney offspring.

I should probably mention he has an older brother named Jenson.
