Xavier Ian
Declan Michael
Matthias Slade
Jonathan Gage

Eliminate Riot Drake: I like Drake ok, but definitely not Riot. My reason is the meaning riot, thats not a baby name. Ryan Drake would be cute and Ryan still sounds somewhat like Riot.

Defiance Asher-I don't think Defiance makes a great first name. If she loves "Bad Boy" names I would suggest using them as a middle name! Names like Defiance and Riot don't sound proffesional. Asher Defiance wouldn't be bad, it flows well. I also have never been crazy about Asher, it's nms.

She says Ryan Drake sounds really cute, and she likes it! Though she still likes Riot a lot. She said she'd think about using Defiance Asher, though she really liked the nn Fai. (I agree, though. I don't think Defiance or Riot sound professional. . .) ~Had and Tess (across he phone :P)

Aden Cash - I like Aden but Cash makes me think of Johnny Cash, and I don't know about you but I don't want to associate my child with anyone famous. Everyone will say "did you name him after Johnny Cash?" OR they could think you a greedy person.

Moises Cruz- I don't care for either name, and if Moises is supposed to be Moses, I'd much prefer it with the original spelling Moses.

Just some information for you, Noel is originally a boy name. Noel is a masculine French given name derived from noël (Christmas). It is derived from the Latin (dies) natalis, referring to the Nativity of Christ, the original French spelling being Noël. The spelling of the girl version is Noelle.

Its sad but once boys names become unisex and are used more on girls they loose their appeal as a male name and are considered too "feminine" until they are almost exclusively girl names...just look at Ashley or Leslie.
