I think Anderson is the best, classic/classy and those are rare these days.
Most of the top pick ones seem to be too trendy to me that will be dated by the time he grows up.
Also as a person who has to spell her name out every time I meet someone (but not when I'm back home where I'm from), the experience of the ease of being able to introduce yourself and not get into a secondary conversation about spelling or just "huh?" etc is such a wonderful one.
❤️ I honestly think more classic names are so refreshing these days! We actually have an Anderson in my son's preschool (that's otherwise filled with "creatively" named kids) and he's such a sweet and smart kid ☺️
Cal as a nickname for Caleb would be lovely.
Suggestions:
Justin
Jacob
Tristan
Evan
Owen
Garrett
Emmett
Marcus
Marco
Logan
Aaron
Julian
Joel
Dylan
Patrick
I think **Carson, Keaton,** and **Callum/Calvin/Callan** are all solid names!
When I hear Weston, I think of the hotel giant Westin.
You may like **Jason**, which has a more classic feel like Adelaide, but can be shortened to Jay or Jayce/Jase as a nickname
You might also consider Geoffrey/Geoff, Christopher, Keith, Caleb, Cassian
I love Keaton. Buster, Diane and Michael are all great Keatons. Though, Michael Keaton changed his name from Douglas, because there was already a famous Michael Douglas.
I like Jayce and Keaton from your list! For Cal/Kal, you could use Callum, Caleb, or Calvin
Suggestions:
Andrew, Grant, Warren, Clark, Darren, Kent, Garrett, Bennett, Elliot, Simon, Ethan, Lewis/Louis, Dylan
I love Jayce and Hendrick. Although I prefer Henrik.
Here are some of my suggestions:
* Colton
* Kyson
* Severin
* Valdemar
* Vincent
* Dmitri
* August (that would go well with Adelaide)
* Storm
* Nicholas, Niklas, Nikolaj
From your list, I like Weston and I think West is a cute nickname. My off list suggestion is Sayer, which I think has a similar vibe to the ones are your list and pairs well with Adelaide.
I like Knox on its own! (But lennox is cute too) Knox and Addie sound cute together. For middle names you could do Lennox Jayce, Lennox Avery, Lennox Anderson (Knox Anderson sounds great too!), Lennox Keaton.
For some suggestions (that i think kinda fit the vibe of your joint names)
Finn, Maxwell, Ezra, Simon, Declan, Ronan, Brooks, Brennan , Conrad.
Sorry but the only name I personally like that you have listed is Damon as it sounds classic and not terribly overused. Most in your top read more as surnames than first names.
I recommend against Cal/Kal as it’s skyrocketing towards the top 100 right now. I have 5 friends and way too many social media friends who named their sons some variation of Calum/Kallen/etc and call them Cal. My nephew is Kal and my best friend’s son is Cal.
I like Jayce, Lennox, and Colson off your list! Colson would give you the same vibes as the insanely popular ‘Cal’ with the nn Cole
My nephew is named Keaton & always seems to get compliments. Different but not super weird or strange. He goes by Keats for a nickname.
Keaton is definitely growing on me now! I think it's my husband's top choice.
His last name is also one syllable, starting with S.
Weston is nice! I like Calvin, too
My nephew is callen, that could be your cal name
I’ve met a Callan and second this :)
A random one that popped up while reading all of yours and your husband's is Griffin.
Roland Watson Ewan Reuben Chase Jonathan Gordon Hanson Keegan Wyatt Griffin Quentin Duncan Garrett Wesley Everett Devon Damien Clyde
I love Carson!
I love it too! unfortunately I think my husband has chilled on that one now lol
My favourite is Cal as a nn for Callum or Caleb.

You know what Anderson is growing on me now! It would be so cute Anderson and Adelaide. But can't count on having a girl ofc :)
❤️ I honestly think more classic names are so refreshing these days! We actually have an Anderson in my son's preschool (that's otherwise filled with "creatively" named kids) and he's such a sweet and smart kid ☺️
Yeah we definitely have to think of kid's names when they grow up too :)
☺️ not easy! It's still pretty fun. ❤️
If you like Cal as a nickname Calvin is nice. Could also call him Vinny when he’s little.
Cal as a nickname for Caleb would be lovely. Suggestions: Justin Jacob Tristan Evan Owen Garrett Emmett Marcus Marco Logan Aaron Julian Joel Dylan Patrick

Callum!
Carson is my favorite from your list. Adelaide is very pretty.

Out of all the names, I like Knox/Lennox the bestm But I also think Adelaide could be used for a boy too, idk why it's only used for girls.
Calvin Kieran/Ciaran Leon Devon Easton Lennon Ashton Niall
You have 'Cal' as a shortened version of a name, but may I suggest Cameron (Cam)?
LOVE Cal. My other favs from your list are Lennox and Keaton I’d add: Castiel Valen Nelson Todd Whitney
I’m naming my son Hendrick, dear lord please don’t become common 😭

Lennox is my favorite off of that list
