Here, you can have my delicious boy's name

[Adair]

As dh hates it and won't go for it

It's Evander. Means 'good man', is from Roman mythology.

Could be Evan for short...

Ohh, I love it

[seeker]

Sound man your dh. Always thought so. Safe pair of hands. Salt of the earth. Pukka Sahib.

[Adair]

(don't forget he approved Skyler... and convinced me out of the 'proper' spelling...)

Evander is a great name! What's wrong with it? (apart from Evander Holyfield association of course, is that so bad?)

[thumbplumpuddingwitch]

Since Evander Holyfield is the only example I could think of, then yes, it probably is that bad an association.

Would your DH accept Lysander as an alternative?
Alexander is always good, of course..
