Boy's name, can't decide!

[WonderingAndOverthinking]

Hi, DS2 is due in 10 days and for the life of us, we can't make a decision on his name!

DS1 is called Chase and we like American/Australian sounding names, due to DP's background. I'm really not keen on "traditional"/British names such as George/Edward/Joshua, etc.. It gets more complicated as I'm a teacher so the majority of names that DP/other people come up with have connections to children that I've taught before! 

We have been been trying to come up with a short list for months now, and are left with these 5, but I'm still looking for ones to add.

Joel
Mitchell
Nate (I think this is my favourite, but it's DP's least favourite)
Heath
Brody/Brodie

Any other suggestions?

Nate our of those.

Out!

American:

Hunter
Rider
Wolf
Ace

I know brothers called Zack and Chase from my DS1 school

I like all of those except Mitchell. Nate and Brody are my favourites.

I don’t think you could have Chase and Hunter as a PP suggested

My American colleague has a son called bennett .... sounds quite sweet with Chase

Linus
Monty
Spike

I’m a teacher too and these are all names I’ve admired of children I’ve taught but wouldn’t be brave enough to use myself!

@RumpoleoftheBaileys I can't do Ryder because of the Paw Patrol connection (which I wasn't bloody aware of when we had DS1 ) and Chase means Hunter, so don't really want to use that either, it's so difficult!
Thanks though

My fantasy American sons are called Chase and Reid.

I think Nate is my favourite, but only Nate (not Nathan or Nathaniel) but it's the one DP isn't sure about!

I like Joel and Nate from your list. What about a longer 'proper' name nn nate? Then dp has option to call him that

Brody

I love Nate the most from your list.

Thanks everyone, there's a few on those lists that I can't use due to family/friends using them first and a few with negative connections for me, but I'll share them with DP and see what he thinks

Of your list I like them all, except Mitchell.
