Anyone feel like helping me hash out a boys name?

Baxley and Kelsie are too ee-ee together. Dislike.
Baxter I don't love with Espen.
Zeke I actually quite like, I don't think the k-k sound is too big a deal. But if you like Zeke you have to also like Duke.

I like the sound of Griffin Felix Kelsie
I like the sound of Griffin Kelsie
I like the sound of little brothers called Espen and Griffin.

SO it's my fave. I also think you ned to consider Nash. Just to stir the pot (it's my job )

Thanks... getting great things to ponder. I really appreciate your responses!

ETA: Oh, and I can't choose Duke Audax because I always pronounce it Juke!

I like Baxter and Griffin

Zeke always reminds me of the dog in the Gary Larson Far Side cartoons.

I wonder how well the name Duke would go in the US anyway.

Oh cool! I forgot about him

They're going to think we named our first son after a TV channel so I don't think we'll have much joy over there no matter what we choose

I wouldn't go with Baxter purely because I live reasonably close to the Baxter detention centre so when I hear it I see bright lights, razor wire and refugees and it gives me the squicks.

Yes! Whenever I hear Baxter, I think of the detention centre too. But I figure if someone has it on their name list, they dont know about Baxter Detention Centre or they aren't concerned about the connotation.
DH suggested it when I was preg with DS1 because we think the NN Bax is cute, but we couldn't get rid of the detention centre connotation, so we didn't use it.

Really? I hate the refugee detention centres with a passion I just don't know all their names. I would hope it will be closed soon and the name wont have that much meaning for long... but thanks for letting me know.

Griffin or Baxter fo'sho.

I like Zeke
Not keen on Baxley, but Bexley maybe?

I dont think the 'n' thing with names is an issue at all.

How about Brecken?
