I have managed to tone down my other half's atrocious taste in names (Ace... Slevin... any name that sounds truly awful with his surname). So now we're kind of agreed on Callum and Luke (we're having a boy obviously).
He isn't so sure about Callum, but I really like it. For some bizarre reason he seems to think it's unusual. He also thinks it might be some weird Scottish name (I'm Scottish, he's not). I sort of like Luke, but I have some issues with it. Firstly, I find it difficult not to imagine it said in Alec Guinness's voice (although I guess that would pass). Secondly, I think it can sound pretty awful in the accent where we currently live (we hope to move at some point, but still). And, thirdly, the other half's surname is a noun (and common one at that), and Luke sounds like an instruction (with an implied exclamation mark).
Any thoughts?
