    We are torn between names for our baby boy. Which one do you like better? We want a first name that is uncommon in the US, yet familiar. Middle names are in honor of our grandfathers. If you don't like either of these combinations, please make a suggestion! We are stuck and want to finalize a name soon.

    I know someone named Graham and he is a womanizer!  :) 

    But honestly, I really like both names.  Hmmm....Is Jonah Francisco an option?  I like the way it sounds.    And I like Jonah Getty better than Graham Getty. 

    I vote Jonah.

    I like Graham better than Jonah, but don't like the sound of Graham Francisco - not to be mocking about it, but it sounds like a punnish graham cracker brand from San Francisco.  I am voting for the non-option of Graham Earl. :)

    I like Jonah better than Graham - I think it is more unique. I also like how Jonah Earl Getty flows....I think it seems more natural than Graham Francisco Getty

    I like names that start with the same letter, so I vote Graham Getty.

    I am partial to alliterative names: Graham Getty. However, he might get teased as a kid with people calling him graham cracker (kids can make up just about anything to tease one another.)

    I would also like to suggest the name Jonas.

    How exciting for you and your partner!  A new baby! Yay!

    I don't love "Graham Getty" because I'm not particularly fond of names that start with the same letter. I also knew a Graham and he was kind of an ass and strangely, as heathaah mentioned a womanizer, too. Weird. 

    I've always like Jonah, and think Jonah Earl is lovely. 

    But I will say I know a couple of younger children named Jonah now, but no Grahams.

    I like the way Jonah Getty sounds better...people won't be calling him by his full name all the time. I do agree with a couple of the other ladies though... Jonah Francisco Getty! :)

    I am sorry, i dont really care for either. Names now-a-days are so different!!! I could name lots of names that I like, which are more traditional, but doesnt seem like you are going the traditional route with naming your son.

    I like them both, especially since you included family names.  I voted for Jonah Earl because I like the sound of it, but ultimately you have to pick whichever one YOU want.

    I'm in the Jonah Francisco camp, but like Graham Francisco too. (full disclosure I have a nephew named Jonah, so I'm totally biased!)

    I like Graham the best! My friend's son name is Graeme which is the traditional gaelic spelling. I love that spelling so maybe you can consider that too?

    I like the non-poll option of Graham Earl!!  But if the poll options were the only two possible choices, I say Graham Francisco.  I really don't care for the name Jonah.

    I voted for graham, but I like both options so I am really no help at all. :D

     

    Graham Earl sounds too close to grammar, but if you are a word nerd like me, then that might be cute. We just had a photographer at my work name her kid so her initials were JPG (not on purpose).

    Either which way I love Graham better than Jonah!  All I can think about is the darn jonas brothers when I hear that name!

    I think you should start a new poll with 4 names, switching up the combinations :)
