Double Letter Names - 2012 Boys

I covered double letter names for girls here... now it's time to cover the boys! There are over 100 less boy double letter names in the Top 1000 for 2012 than girl ones, with 138 before combining spellings (116 after). There's also no real commonality between the boy names like -lynn and -ee are for the girls. That gives us a lot of different names to consider! Not wanting to list all of the 138 names, here are some that jumped out at me:
