Boys names help!

Me and my hubby are thrilled to be expecting a little boy! However..... We had a girls name we both liked but are having the hardest time picking boy names. We have very different tastes! The hubby likes what I call Americanised names E.g. Harley, Blake etc. I ideally want a name that fits with my Italian heritage but he's not keen on any.

So we are batting around a few compromises and I just wanted views/ideas. I'd really like to hear what people think of the names Darien, Harvey, Jonas and Cassian/Cassius? And any similar ideas. I really don't want anything too popular. Thanks in advance Smile

roastchicken I think Harvey might drop out of the charts this year. 😕

I second Rocco (I also know a boy called Roka?)

I like Darien and Cassius. Harvey is nice but not sure how it's a compromise for you - are there any Italian links there at all?

Angelo?
Milo?
Milan??

Thanks so much for the comments everyone! Unfortunately my cousin just had a baby called Rocco so I'm afraid we can't have that.

No italian links with Harvey, but it is a name I originally picked out. I've only ever known one Harvey in my life and he was such a kind gentle man which is what I want for my son.

Darian is my favourite but the Hubby is against it Confused

Seeing the responses to cassian and cassius is lovely! I think cass is so cute too.

Some fantastic suggestions to run by the Hubby Smile

Darian sounds too much like Darren. Darius is better.
Harvey is nice but popular.
Blake is nice but rhymes with Flake
Cassius is nice but the Rooneys have Cass. I don't like Cassian. Caspian is ok.
Not keen on Jonas.
