My OH doesn't agree with names

[JayeD]

We just found out on Saturday that we are on team blue... A few weeks ago, I started keeping a list of boys and girls names that I liked, since we weren't too sure what we were having. Now that we know, I showed him my list of names. I didn't put any of them together for first and middle names because I want us to choose the name together.

My OH hasn't thought of names at all, but when he saw my list, he didn't really like any of them. He said that he wanted a normal every day name, not a weird or unusual name. When creating my list, knowing what kind of name he wanted, I kept the list simple. I should also mention that I didn't add names from the most popular names of 2008/2009 because I have an extremely common name and hated being around another 12 girls with the same name as myself growing up.

What do you think of these "normal names" that my OH doesn't seem to like, even though he wants a normal name?

Adam
Alex/Alexander
Anthony
Brennan
Brody
Caelum (similar to Callum only a different meaning)
Daniel (my OH's dad's name)
David
Duncan
Eric
Evan (my favourite so far)
Joshua
Logan
Lucas
Nicholas
Patrick
Ryan
Scott
Shane
Tyson

Do you have any other suggestions for normal names? Hopefully one that he might like?

There are some really nice names there. I like Anthony, Daniel and Joshua best. If your OH doesn't like any of them I'd get him to have a quick look at a baby names book or website and pick a few out to give you an idea of what kind of name he wants x

I like Daniel, Ryan, Scott,Joshua

Get your OH to make a list then both sit together and go through the names he's picked and see if there is any you both like from his list.

Brendon
Luke
Carl

I guess I'm biased.

I have an Anthony and an Alexander, so they'd obviously be my picks.

I think there are a lot of 'normal' names on that list and definitely think if he doesn't like them he needs to take a look and add some ideas. My favorites are:
Evan
Nicholas
Duncan
Brody
Logan
