Our first boy was born last week (a fab homebirth) and my husband and I cannot get close to agreeing! He really likes Alex but, while I lover Alexander for a middle name, I don't like that it's not clear if it's a boy or girls name. To me, it sounds like a girls name...
I love Hugh Alexander but would be happy to name him after my husband's Uncle John if we use my grandfather's name Leon as a middle name...which my husband does not like at all.
He thinks that Hugh would get teased about his name and that it sounds pompous. I think it sounds like a man's name. Solid, known but not well used.
He's a little brother to Bianca and Eloise (though I gave up the name i love, Sylvie, for our Eloise and have some regrets at capitulating so easily).
Shall I just dig my heels in and wait him out? Any new suggestions we could consider to break the deadlock?
Thanks for your help!
