About this list

This baby will be my parent's seventh grandson so he will be part of a tribe of boys with English and Biblical names: Owen, Noah Logan, Benjamin, Gabriel, Samuel, and Matthew. So I've chosen a list of Names that are unique but not too out of the box. They also have positive meanings (excluding Campbell which is a family name.) The name also has to translate from the more artistic metropolitan life I live to my family's Deep South culture.
