Help! DS3 needs a name.

(I know a Matthew Luke Ethan family) Ethan is very popular but a great timeless name.

I love so many of the names listed! I have very similar taste in names, too. I like classic, traditional names (that tend to be more British royalty-type names). Like you, I also used to teach, so that gave me strong opinions about a lot of names, and also helped me eliminate certain names from my lists when, for example, I had 3-4 kids named Alex (both boys & girls) & Lauren in a class! Still love the names, but didn't want such popular names. I would worry a bit that Ethan might be too popular (I'm seeing/ hearing a lot of that one lately, like Noah, Owen, Oliver, & Henry), but hey, if you love it, go with it! Our three kids' names are in the top 50, I'm sure, but I love the names and ultimately didn't care if they're that popular. I guess I'd rather have popular than trendy & popular.
I especially like strong, masculine boys' names.

These are some that I love:

William (love Will, though Liam is really popular lately)
Ben (actually like this more than Benjamin, but I like that it has a long version)
Charlie
Sam (also like this more than Samuel, but it's nice that it has a long version)
Thomas
Graham
Luke/ Lucas

Brandon
Nicholas
Max (not Maxwell,or Maximillian, just Max)
Stephen
Christopher
Patrick
Corey
Ryan
Jack

I love the name Silas, and it would be sweet with Luke and Matthew.

Presumably you have thought of this first group of names, but they are classic names just like your other names.

Christopher or Christophe
Jonathon
Micah is a little like Michael
William or just Liam. I also know a Wilson.
Benjamin
Theodore... lots of nicknames include Theo which is less common
James or Jameson
Andrew
Ethan or Evan
David or Davis
Nicholas... Nico is a nice nickname
Gabriel or Gabe
Anderson
Maybe Nathaniel is better for you than Nathan? You could push Nat or Nate as a nickname.

For less common ideas:
Jasper
Nolan
Simon
Zachary
August
Max or Maxwell
Oscar
Aaron
Elias or Elijah
Henry

Thanks ladies!

I think instead of deciding on a name before birth this time, we are going to go in with a short list of names we both like and decide after we meet him.

Right now our list is:

Ethan
Jack
Brendan

Maybe also:

Caleb (my list only but I think I might be able to get DH onboard)
Henry (DH's list mainly but it could still grow on me. I knew a Henry through middle school and high school who was super super weird and not sure I can get over that.)

We have lots of family John's, Dan, Tim's, Nick, Chris, Theo, Patrick, Joe's, Ryan's, David's, and Carter. We already have added to the confusion with our Matthew (but they at least live out of the state and it's my cousin so we only see him around the major holidays but still.)
