Christopher is great, and so is James, but it seems to be becoming sort of a filler middle. I really dislike Chris, but I love Christopher.

I love Thomas. Not Tom or Tommy. Just Thomas.

I also love Adam and Seth.

Blake is another favorite of mine. I associate it with the poet William Blake.

I also have a soft spot for George and Peter. And I think there are other classic names - like Alexander, John, and Michael - that just never go out of style and are always a good choice.

But for my money, the best male name ever is David. I may use it one day. It is as classic and strong as you can get, means "beloved," has this incredible Biblical character behind it, and a sensitive, serious connotation. I don't like Dave or Davey, but David is tops.

I really like Adam too, but for some reason my husband just doesn't like it. I don't get it, it's a nice name. He's so close minded, it's hard to work with him LOL

Peter is my favorite. It's so handsome :-) Also, I like Clark and Thomas.

Actually, my favorite name you mentioned is Frederick. So handsome, strong and classic. I would love to meet a little Frederick! I also love James -- so handsome, storied, and strong. I know a teenaged James who goes by the nn Jay, which makes me love it even more!

Some of my other favorite classics:
George
Paul
Edward
Andrew
Arthur
Gregory
Luke

I love Frederick also. It was my great grandfather's name (who I never met but who my mom loved dearly). Right now I'm leaning towards Peter Frederick. I love the way it sounds. My husband still likes Seth, so I guess we need to keep talking.

thank you!

Oliver, Christopher and Lawrence. And Henry is a good one as well.
