Naming Contest

I'm getting increasingly nervous because baby boy #4 is inbound in less than 5 weeks and we still have not settled on a name. I'm regretting that I didn't use "Hale" as the middle name for all the boys because we used up 6 great names! I just hate the thought of being home from the hospital for two weeks and finally flipping a coin on some name. All the other names we've really loved and I hope we'll feel the same about this one.
Here are some of the contenders, none of which were sure of: Sean, Kai, and Nicholas. Today I heard "Zane" and I think that's pretty cool, but Clint's off flying in Monterrey today, eating lunch at Cannery Row (I feel so sorry for him)--so he hasn't weighed in on this one.
Do you have any great boy names you think would fit into our family and sound good with Cresap? There's no reward for submitting the "winning" name, just a feel good feeling that you helped name the next Cresap person!

Cannon!!!! I think that Talmage, Cole, Jack, Cannon sounds great! We actually have a Kai playing at our house right this minute...he's four and really cool. Zane goes with the western theme you seem to have going. Oh, and quite honestly, if you had asked me to guess a decade ago, Clint would have had a first born son named Porter...I would have totally counted on a Porter with in FOUR? Where did that name go?

I like Kai only in fairy tales. It's a wee bit girly in real life, to me. Sorry, but I thought you'd want to know. Other names that end in i=Levi, Eli, Malachi ( I always liked Malachi.) I like Zane, although the only one I know is insane. (inzane) He really is.
Or: Bram, Tate, Owen, Elijah. Did you know that Gunner has old navy ties? (son of a gunner) If you spell it Gunnar it is Scandinavian.
I do go on.
We settled on Rosalie only after I was in labor and on the drive to the hospital. I think she really wanted that name and just managed to get through to us in time.

Once again, Edith is using Casey's coomputer. The above comment is mine.

OOH! I just realized that Kai is a nickname for Malachi!
Do it. I command you. pretty please

Zed is still open since we didn't use it :-)

No Cannon. No Gunner. No Zane. No Kai. No using names already used in the immediate family. (Admittedly, with this family that takes about 30% of them out of play.) No Old Testament. No Zed. (Zed?? Put down the crack pipe, Jen!)

You people are whacked. My kids have to start martial arts too young as it is. Sheesh.

Do you already have a James in your family? I have never met a James that I didn't adore.
