Baby due in 5 weeks and my husband and I can't agree on names. Correction - I'm trying to think of names and he couldn't care less. No interest. Our 2 year old son is Milo and it's the perfect name for him. I feel like I used my favourite name when I named him and now I'm scuppered. We don't know the sex. I don't want a name that's too popular. On my list (I say 'my' cause I'm clearly doing this naming business solo) I have Sebastian/Seb (but becoming very popular), Wesley/Wes, Howell (dh totally vetoing though), Gabriel (but worried he'll be called 'gay' at school - am I over-thinking this?). We were going to use Jed, but someone we know has just used it.
For girls, I love Inés, but I know it will be mispronounced. I also like Ramona, but not sure I'm in love with it. I want a strong girl's name - nothing too flowery. I like Meredith, but himself says no. I did like Merryn for a while, but I've gone off it a bit.
Anyway, I'm really looking for other suggestions based on the names above. Please help before I have an unnamed child in my arms and divorce papers in my pocket.

OP, I'm sorry to hear that. It's not an excuse bit maybe your DH is just freaked out with worry and ignoring the imminent new baby is just his way of coping. Not much help for you, of course! 
Also, I think 5 weeks is quite a long time, maybe your DH works better with a tighter deadline! We all know it often doesn't get "real" for some men until the baby is upon them!
I hope he bucks his ideas up a bit!
Firstly a hug to you but don't stress. Lots of men seem to struggle to get into the naming thing until baby's even here - my friend's DH wouldn't even discuss until baby arrived! Meant she got her first choice as he hadn't given it enough thought 
I am struggling with girls names too, the ones I LOVE DH doesn't, and i'm not sure if I love them because of that (love lost is the greatest and all that), but anyway - they are Violet, Chloe, Rommily, Romy, Aurora. All go very well with Milo and fairly unusual apart form Chloe. I love Ines though and don't think you should be too put off (although I take your point as I have a French name that is always getting muddled up despite not being mega unusual and it does piss me off). But better that than a name you aren't so keen on.
Boys I want Albie and think you might like that too. That is literally the only boys name I want, DH likes it but I fear he might back out thinking it is too out there.
Good luck!
