Second guessing short list for our boy

[Buffyanne]

I'm having a boy and not due until December but after narrowing down the list with my husband, I'm second guessing now.

I'm worried our choices dont sound "sophisticated" enough. We kind of like "cowboy" style type names but I'm hoping to balance a masculine, rough and tumble type name with sophistication/maybe a bit if nerdiness as well. I want a handsome name. I worry about popularity but I also want something that fits in with today's style. I'm American by the way but looking for well-rounded perspectives. I posted before but before my husband weighed in so now we have a more narrow list.

I'd really like to know the perceptions on the following options and the ones with two middle name options, which one and why!

Marshall Breccan
Marshall Elliott

Elliott Reese

Wyatt Asher

Brantley Austin
Brantley Noah

Rhett Callahan - ideal but sounds clunky with surname

Rhett Landon

Thank you for your help!

I thought about Marshall Wyatt but if I have another son in the future I feel like its throwing all my eggs on one basket!

Marshall Bryce is interesting.

While Marshall and Wyatt are my top two, theres still something about Elliot Rhys that sticks with me. I just wish there was.a nickname for Elliot.

Rhett and Elliot are my favourite.

I really can't stand Brantley - it sounds very 'made up American'. I say that because every baby name video I see made by an American seems to feature so many names like this - random sounds followed by -ley, -don, -son etc. I don't really understand the trend when there are so many nice real names out there!

I like Elliot, Asher and Noah. Otherwise, those names are not to my taste at all. But if you're American and in the US, I'm sure they're fine.

I just wish there was a nickname for Elliot I've heard Elliot shortened to El, Lee, Lio and T.

Elliott Reese is the only one I like.

I know it's not traditionally a shortening but Elliot could have the nickname Ellis

(Ellis is one of my very favourite names as is Elliot!)

Elliott and Rhett are nice. Marshall and Wyatt are both OK. My favourite first and middle from your options is Elliott Reese, followed by Wyatt Asher.
Brantley is honestly awful. As is Brant. It's like a combination of brag and rant. It's an unpleasant sound.

Nickname for Elliott - Lio? Eli could also work.

Marshall Austin as another possible combination.

I think I've eliminated Brantley and Rhett from the list. I got Brantley from a singer with the name so it's not a name I made up. I kinda liked it but maybe i just like the singer! It hasn't received very good feedback from Americans or anyone else though! It was never in the top 3 anyway so I'm glad we are eliminating!

I also eliminated Rhett. I think it's very handsome but apparently it's only association is Gone with the Wind which is controversial due to its racist time period. While I dont think a name can be racist and have newer associations with Rhett, I just dont want the stress of any misperception. I like Rhett more as a middle name anyway yet nothing I have really flows with it.

So now just trying to choose between:

Marshall - need a middle name! (I like Marshall Austin btw! I like Marshall Elliot but initials would be MEH so second guessing)

Wyatt Asher

Elliot Reece/Rhys (spelling TBD)
