Hmmm, you girls have given me lots to think of already. As for the Domenic, I'm not sure I've really ever seen it spelled so it's possible that I am adding an -e instead of the -i. I love this name b/c it is Italian and has a cute nickname. I have a Nico in my class and he is the cutest little Italian boy. Now that I am looking at the name I think it IS Dominic. My student is Nicolo.
I really like Samuel, but my DH had a beloved pet named Sammy and I don't want to have to tell our child he was named after a dog.
Our last name is Broome (sounds just like the sweeper), so we need a multi-syllable first name.
We also both like Lucas and Mason. I like Emerson, but DH not so much.
