[QUOTE=ENugent]  
In addition to the other name sites you’ve been sent, I recommend [www.nymbler.com](http://www.nymbler.com) (a new tool from the Baby Name Wizard). It lets you type in names that you like and gives you names with similar sounds and/or popularity profiles - sort of an interactive version of the sibling names in the book. It had never heard of Conde, but I gave it Carter, Jack, Kayden, and Darcy and asked for boy names, and it turned up:

Dexter, Jackson, Lincoln, Clinton, Clayton, Jefferson, Hayden, Byron, Brady, Keaton, Carson, Reid, Brennan, Nelson, Nolan

Do any of those work? Personally, I think Brady and Reid are cute, but I don’t think we particularly share a taste in names (my daughter is Dorothy and my son will be either Russell or Howard, unless we change our minds again). Nymbler will also give you popularity data (US) on the names.

Ahh totally Dexter. Good show 🙂  
But I do think this list is pretty good, out of them I’ve only met a Brennan before. I like Dexter, Clayton, Hayden, Brady, Brennan, and Nolan the best. Hayden is getting pretty mainstream now though I think.

Have you thought of Condor?  
Please realize I’m kidding. Please.  
From someone whose last name was always mispronounced, always make it easy for anyone to say. Carter would seem the best of the three you’ve given.  
Have you considered Cooper, or Clay?

> ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.
> 
> Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl’s birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.
> 
> “I don’t think she believes me yet,” he told the Kingsport Times-News earlier this week. “It’s going to take some more convincing.”
> 
> Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to “to get the word out” about the campaign.
> 
> “I took one for the cause,” he said. “I can’t give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little.”
