names for my little boy!

it's still SOOO weird to say that I'm having a son, LOL but if you guys can chip in on what names you like, I would really appreciate it. I like REALLY non-mainstream names, but I like the names to be acceptable to people so my kid isn't targeted for having a weird name (memories of my entire 4th-grade homeroom class being led in 3 verses of "mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy" still gives me nightmares, LOL)....so all opinions and reactions to the names are appreciated because they help me choose a name that's unique but not too weird...thanks, ladies!!

the middle name will be my maiden name...I'm the last of our line (it stretches back almost to the middle ages) and there are no males to pass on the name...so my poor son is ending up with my very-german maiden name as his middle name, LOL

I voted for grey only because it was the only one I kinda liked.. i didn't really like those names...not to hurt your feelings just being honest.. My favorite name for a boy is of Course Nicholas because that is my song.... but also Benjamin.

Rylan sounds kind of girly- like RyLynn.

My vote was for Ronin! I'm a huge Stargate Atlantis fan. ;-)

LOL i didn't even think about how they would sound together....I personally think Rylan is my first choice...but Tristan is my husband's first choice, and Grey is both of my parents' first choice...I think that Ronin got a better response here than with my family, LOL. and my in-laws are mum on the subject, but I'm going to try to wheedle an opinion out of my mother-in-law soon. all my father-in-law said was "combine two of them and it'll help you narrow them down." thanks randy LOL. Treylan? Greylen? hm.

I like Rylan :)
My sister is actually named Tristyn with the Y, but I love that name for a boy too.  
We are sticking with family names for a boy probably Joseph Clay (first name is my brother in law and my grandpas middle name Clay is my hubby's middle name).

Wow guys thank you!!! the feedback is fantastic! I'm surprised you said you've heard the names as girls names before, KeyD! I've never even heard of Rylan before my search, and Tristan is most definitely a boys name IMO. Grey I can see being either but Ronin is very masculine, like AHP said. You've got a very good point GA about the names flowing, but they all do. I narrowed it down from like 20 to these four for that reason LOL. I see that Tristan is getting the best response, so that's definitely helping me, but I'm still stuck. Gonna run it by the in-laws today and see what they say, hehe :D thanks again!!!

I voted for Ronin, it's not one you hear very often.  TRistan is becoming increasingly popular.  But the first name *I* would choose would also depend on how well it sounded with the middle name and last name.

I voted for Rylan. All the others I have heard/seen before, but this one I really like.

I like Ronin, it sounds very masculine and unique. I also like Grey (for obvious reasons, lol...since my son's name is Greydon). But I voted for Ronin because just the name Grey seems a little off to me since I'm so used to saying Greydon, lol.

LOL I have a 2 year old named Tristan, so i voted for that one, because I love that name. it a little unusual, but still common enough not to be teased. I also like Rylan it sounds interesting, but not strange or wierd, different in a good way! I son't really like Ronin, because to be whenever i say that name i always picture someone in a gladiator outfit! LOL I know that sounds silly, but it does. You could also spell Tristan with and "E" Tristen. what is the middle name i know you said it was your maiden name, but it still go with one mor ethan the other! Good luck!
