This site is actually really cool:

Baby Names | The Baby Name Wizard: The Name Experts

It tells you all kinds of stuff. You can use the search feature to meet letter restrictions, or you can look for names that are similar in style to a name you like. There's also an interactive graph (the "voyager") that tells you the popularity of a name through the decades.

We used it a lot while looking. There was also a book of it.

Go with Cyrus. Not only could you call him Cy, he's also named after a bad-*** Persian king!

On that note you could also go with Xerxes, another Persian king. That would be unique and he would have a really cool first initial. Call him X for short!

by the way, dont tell the wife your plan of nicknaming him cy. she might put the kibosh on it. name him cyrus and then backdoor the nickname after the paperwork is complete. trust me, ive been married 14 years and learned all of this stuff the hard way.

Reid Jameson

Reid - Scottish for red. Scottish in my family's heritage. Sister's name is Scarlett, both born with tint of red hair

Jameson - James is my grandfather's, dad's, and my middle name. Also the middle name of my wife's grandfather and her brother's middle name. We figured Jameson was something different.
