Have you thought about other family names? Grandparents, great-grandparents, others from a few generations back? Well done you for not getting into a huge fight with your DH btw, I would have lost patience with that long ago!
What kind of names do you like? Traditional? Unusual? Exotic?
My Mom's Dad's name is Lester, and DH's dad is Frank On the other side we have a Constantino and Shigefusa. DH is half Irish, half Japanese. I'm half Italian, half everything else in Europe, so it's hard to choose a name form our families that isn't too ethnic sounding. We aren't against names like that, but how this baby turns out looking is really a dice roll, so we want to pick a name that doesn't point to one nationality more than another.
I generally prefer more beautiful names. I love names you'd find in a really good book as the heroic main character's love interest. My favorites were Quinn and Kai, both of which DH vetoed. I like Marius and Elijah, big no from DH I thought he'd settled on Max, and I'd begun to let it grow on me, until the other day when he suddenly announced that he didn't like Max anymore!!
