Baby number 3, maybe a boy, need help!

It seems baby number 3 is a boy and we already have DS whose name is Zack. I would like to find a short yet strong name to go with our very long surname.
I have a list of possible names, I just don't know if they would go well with Zack.
Please let me know your thoughts and I am open to suggestions too! The only thing is that I really dislike traditional names like George, Harry, James, etc.

1- Leon
2- Noah
3- Luca
4- Lucas
5- Finn
6- Max
7- Ben

I love them all but Leon, but this is a bad association for me and not the name itself. I liked the name until I worked with a horrible horrible one.

Great list! I love Noah and Max most. How about Theo, Reuben, Leo or Joel

All lovely names, I have 4 boys and we really struggled with naming ds4.

I loved Finn but dp did'nt, both Zac and Noah were contenders but in the end it was between Lucas and Luca - he is Luca James and I love it despite never even thinking of it before he was born. So far I've had really positive reactions to it.

So, Luca is my obv my fave closely followed by Lucas. What about Joe or Louis?

1- Leon - Don't love it but it's alright.
2- Noah - Very Boden. Hugo, James, Alexander kind of name.
3- Luca - Nice name. All the boys called Luca I've met have long hair!!
4- Lucas - OK, bad boys name.
5- Finn - A bit wimpy, like a newer version of Timothy
6- Max - Good strong name, bit of a mouthful with Zack
7- Ben - I love Benji, sadly can't use it cos of initials.

What is your other child called?

What a great list, I like them all very much! If I had to pick, my favourite would be Leon, there is an adorable Leon in DS's nursery. There are lots of Finns and Bens round our way, not sure if popular name would bother you?

Why does it have to be so difficult, huh? My BIL already has a Theo, and my DH has a cousin called Leonard but everybody calls him Leo.

A lot of people seem to think Noah is a wimpy name, I imagine Noahs to be gentle souls. Very Boden made me laugh! lol

Someone asked, DD is called Annabelle (I know, short name for boys, long names for girls...no logic there!)

I really like Lucas and Noah from your list. The others are a little 'bland' for me.

I have an Annabelle too (and a Quentin).
