What names go with Zane and Drake?

We are expecting boy #3 and haven't decided on a name yet. The sibling names are Drake and Zane. We want a name that is not too long, not overly popular, strong, cool, that stands on it's own as well as with the sibling names. We have considered Blaise, Grant, and Griffin. What do you think about those names, and are there others that you think might work?

Re: What names go with Zane and Drake?

I don't know when your sons were born, but in 2008 Drake was @ 230 on the SSA top 1000 list, and Zane was @ 235. So I'm going to stick with something that is close to those with my suggestions. (Griffin is 242, Blaise was 992 in 2007 - not on the list in 2008, and Grant is 142)

Roman (205)
Lincoln (212)
Dalton (218)
Jude (224)
Zion (232)
Kingston (239)
Corbin (262)
Brock (277)

*EDIT - Duh! I forgot to tell you my favorites!
Blaise
Dalton
Jude
Corbin

Also, I don't feel that any of these names are trendy or over-popular (with the exception of Lincoln... maybe).

Re: What names go with Zane and Drake?

I think that Blaise, Grant, and Griffin are all very handsome. Blaise has the long A of Drake and Zane, as well as Zane's z sound, so I'm not sure if this is too similar for you.

I think that Grant works really well with Drake and Zane.

I love Griffin, but I can better see one of the other names with your sons' names.

I picture something very masculine and strong:

Archer
Jude (this may have been suggested...oops!) :-)
Pierce
Reed
Vaughn
Wilder

Good luck! :-)

I l.o.v.e. Pierce and Vaughn. Both are very strong, cool names! I will second Jill's suggestion of those two! :)

Re: What names go with Zane and Drake?

I like a lot of the suggestions on this page. When I saw the title, prior to reading any of the posts, for some reason the first two names that came to mind were Nico and Jesse. I like Roman, Vaughn, Griffin, and Poe, as well.

Re: What names go with Zane and Drake?

I love the name Rex for a little boy and I think it goes well with Zane and Drake (they're all one syllable and masculine).
From the other suggestions here, Pierce and Vaughn are great for the same reasons :)
