Here are some names we are considering along with the cons connected to them.
Isaac: too Jewish? (not that sounding Jewish is a bad thing, just neither of us are Jewish)
Ethan: Tomek doesn't like it
Elijah: Tomek used to work with a guy named Eli. I'm not too keen on our son having the same name as that guy.
James: No Polish equivalent.
Jacob/Jakob: I don't like the Polish short form of it: Kuba. Sounds like a big, drooly dog to me.
Lukas/Lukasz: I don't like the Polish pronunciation of it: Woo-cash.
Rylan: Sounds like a girl name now that I think about it. Tomek probably wouldn't like it.
Rowan: Tomek doesn't like it.
Casmir: I don't like it. Tomek likes it, particularly the short-form, Kasu, the "s" is pronounced like a j with zh mixed in.
I think we'll just go with this.

I'm so glad we're not the only ones struggling with finding a name. Are there any family names on either side that you guys like?
i would kick my parents' ass if they named me dingbang.
Hahaha. . Dingbang is AWESOME!
I personally really like Rowan and Rylan. Ethan is nice, except that it is so common right now. And I agree that Kuba does sound like a dog name. . .
Boys names are SO hard. Good luck!
I'm really fond of James.
I also like Elijah.
