I like Christian best, followed by Jameson.
Jamison is my favorite
I really Jameson and I like Christian. It is a name we considered for DS2 - but that was before the whole 50 shades of grey thing. I love Jackson (but so popular) and Harrison. I know you didn't ask for other options, but I thought I'd add them in anyway :)

Hi PFP! 7 weeks! Getting so close now! I also like Jameson, even though I would go with the classic James or even Jamie (which I find so gorgeous). My second choice would be Bryant, it sounds gorgeous with Michael. Bryant Michael. It just flows beautifully! x
Colin. Everyone recognizes it but there won't usually be multiple on the playground. Like how it sounds with his brothers' names too.
Wow 7 weeks - that went so so fast somehow!
I like Jameson and Bryant. 😊
I feel your pain! Trying to constantly pick boys names in hard! You get to point where you do run out of ideas! 😜
Do you shorten the other boys' names? Is Thomas a Tom? Or Patrick a Pat or Paddy? If so maybe see which names work well with the shortened versions instead? Imagine you're calling them all in for dinner! "Patrick, Thomas, Dylan, Jameson! Dinner time!" Or "Pat, Tom, Dylan, Jae! Dinner time!"
Another thing we did when choosing DS3's name is say it in a few phrases to see how it felt at different ages. KNIM? Some of our ideas didn't sound right as a baby or vice versa didn't sound right as a grown up. For instance "Little Sterling is six weeks old today. Isn't he cute?" didn't work for me but "Sterling's just graduated from college" worked. Does that help at all?
Colin. It fits well with the others. It's not hugely common but known enough to be recognisable.
If it helps you feel better, only my eldest had a name before birth. The other 3 were named after they were born. And it took longer each time. There was nothing I really liked. They kind of got default names, whatever we managed to agree neither of us hated.
I was actually really upset about my youngest's name for a few weeks & seriously considered changing it. Now I can't imagine him with any other name, except maybe reversed first & middle. I just wish my other kids had less popular names.
I really love Jameson! I don't know about in US but in the uk that is not a common name - I think its very cool!
Have you considered letting Patrick, Thomas & Dylan decide?!
No i don't shorten my boys names really at all. I'm not a fan of nicknames.
Patrick is nothing but Patrick always. Thomas is usually always Thomas, sometimes Tommy cause its cute, but I hate Tom. And Dylan is Dylan.
I font like to shorten names.
That said i do think Jameson is a mouth full- and like James better.
But if I'd call him James i think i like Colin better than James.
