My wife is having a baby boy! Names?

Question

We just found out a week ago that my wife and I are going to be having a son. We need to figure out a name as soon as possible and we would really appreciate your help.

We have a few names in mind, and they have to go with the last name Draffin.

Brandon

Brendan

Lucas (Luke for short)

Lance

Vincent (Vince for short)

Kevin

Ian

Dylan

Nathan (Nate for short)

Sean

I know it's a pretty long list but these are the names we have considered. We would appreciate any suggestions/advice. Thanks!

Answer 1

The only one I really like is Nathan. Lucas, Kevin, and Dylan are alright.

How about

Nathan Lucas Draffin?

Answer 2

Congradulations  have fun and this is great.

I like many of the names  Lucas, Lance and  Vincent being the ones that I think go best with Draffin.  But be careful !  Brandon Draffin is hard to say fast and   VD are unfortunate initials to live with all your life.

So  if you use one with an, in, on  or en say it several times out loud to make sure it is going to work. Look at the initials as well.  

I like  Jordan, Terence, Lawrence, Robert. Travis, Seth also.

Answer 3

Edward Draffin.... i think thats cute!!

Answer 4

Brendan Grey Draffin is cute.

Brandon Alex Draffin is so cute.

Lucas Grey Draffin would be okay.

I don't like Lance as a name.

Vincent isn't my favorite either.

Kevin James Draffin, then you could call him KJ.

Ian Michal Draffin is one of my favorites.

Dylan Mike Draffin

Nathan Grey Draffin

I don't like shawn.

God Bless You, Your Wife, and Baby!

Answer 12

Well Draffin is a 2 syllabal word. So try to stick with first names that are also 2 syllabal.

Kevin Michael Draffin

Brandon Richard Draffin

Ethan Michael Draffin

See how the names flow... Each word is two syllabals and that makes them sound cute.
