So "Nathan" seems to be the majority favourite, currently with 39.7% of the vote. Which fits in with its being #20 on the Most Popular Names list this year, I guess -- everything old is new again. "Paul" comes in with 33.8%, and "Joel" is running last at 26.5%.

However, I note with fascination that of the six males to vote on this poll, every single one voted for "Paul". Is it a Guy Thing?

Anyway, we still haven't made a firm decision yet, but it was fun doing the poll, and thanks to everyone who participated.

If the popularity thing really bugs you (I know that is one of my pet peeves and my poor future children would be getting the weirdest names if it wasn't for my husband and his wanting to name at least one son after his grandfathers, Walter James), then Paul is a really good name too. Well, so is Joel, but my brother is a Joseph, so I like Paul better :).

Just reread the above, and, for the record, I'm not pregnant now, not planning to for at least 4-5 years. :)

It is my experience that planning has very little to do with it. God frequently has different plans than we do.
