We are due a baby boy fairly soon and we like both Ashton and Austin. Surname has two syllables also.

Looking for some outside opinions! Which name do you prefer?

Ashton is a place near Bristol and Austin is a granny-wagon.

Alan, Adam, Andrew, Aiden, Adrian are all good boys' names.

Definitely Austin. I briefly dated an Austin about 20 years ago. He was very handsome and rode a bike in a very sexy manner haha! It’s a classy name and nice to say.

I like both - Ashton has the great nn “Ash”, but Austin feels a bit more classic and could be “Ozzy”. I think I prefer Austin.

Austin is lovely. I’m neither here nor there on Ashton.
