DS1 is Lucas Oliver (we call him Luke a lot although he insists on being Lucas), DS2 is Matthew Joseph (we call him Matt sometimes but try to stick with Matthew), I feel like DS3 is impossible to name.
I love Oliver but DD was Olivia plus it's DS1's middle name so that's out. Something somewhat classic but preferably not crazy popular (but I wouldn't rule out a name I love on popularity.) NOT Mark or John. (No offense to anyone using those names but we didn't do the biblical thing on purpose and not really a fan of either name but have been told about 8 million times we have to name him Mark or John.) No 50 shades names (Christian, Grayson, Grey) b/c I have a feeling they will be crazy popular in Oct, 9 months after the movie came out and V-day.
I like Andrew but that's out (DH's boss's name), Michael is out, I could maybe do Thomas but not falling in love with it, and on it goes. I used to teach so have a lot of names I won't use that I probably would have liked otherwise (Jacob).
We are down to 11 weeks to come up with a name and I really don't even have enough names that I like enough to consider to come up with a list. (And yes, I know about nymbler and have tried that too.) Help! Any suggestions?

I like Benjamin (Ben). I actually grew up with a family that had three boys--Luke, Matt, and Ben so I guess it's no wonder that sounds "right" to me. I really do happen to love that name though, and it's a great sibling set of names!

living a crazy life with 3 boys
I am thinking now
of grief, and of getting past it;
I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want
to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
