H & B names

My boyfriend wants a boyfriend want a name having the initals H.B.K (K being his surname and B being a Middle name and H first name - The H.B.K is after his fave wrestler Shawn Michaels - Heart Break Kid).

I'm unsure if her want the initals on a boy or girl so the more options would be good.

We don't like too Old-fashioned names e.g. Bartholomew, Hubert.
We don't like too unique names (Where you cant say them).
We're not too much a fan of Unisex names.
We're not a fan of overly common names.

Names we have considered/we like.

Harry - We like but unsure on as a Harrison in the family.
Harriett - My boyfriend hates but I like as it's my nan's real name.
Hannah - My boyfriend likes but I'm not a fan of so compromised on Savannah so this is off the list.
Hayden - We both loved but recently found out someone I hate is naming his son this so it's out of the question.
Heather - It's a family name but I'm not a fan of it.
Hector - I like but my boyfriend is not a fan of.

Beatrice - it's my nan's name but i'm not sure on it.
Bianca - I love but my boyfriend is not a fan of.
Brett/Bret - I love and so does he as it's another wrestlers name.
Bryony/Briony - I love as it's a traditional welsh name and i'm welsh.
Beau - Is cute and we both like.

Any names beginning with H and name beginning with B that go together boys and girls.

Really confused by your post, as you say that you don't want overly common names then list Harry and Hannah, and that you don't want unisex names then list Hayden - for a girl!

So, on that basis, I'll just suggest some names beginning with H for you to consider:
Harold
Harvey
Howard
Hugh
Hugo
Huxley
Horace
Hadrian
Hamish
Hywel
Horatio
Hymphrey
Heath

Heidi
Helena
Henrietta
Hermione
Heloise
Heledd
Helga
Hester
Haf
Harmony
Hilary
Hilda
Hyacinth
Honor
Honora
Hafsa
Holly

If your boyfriend is being very restrictive re: must have the initials H and K, surely you can fight your corner for a name you like.

But, really, you need to go through a baby name book and write down every one you like. For browsing, I like www.behindthename.com, www.babynamewizard.com, www.nameberry.com and www.britishbabynames.com.

thank you BananaHammocks I never thought of that one. I will ask my boyfriend.

I'm not a fan of Henrietta, Helen, Hester, Henry or Horace there too oldfashioned and I dont like them. Although I do like some old names these ones don't jump out at me. I know a Hailey so Haley is out.

I love Heidi Bronwen/Bronwyn though.

I have got through baby names sites. and no names jump out at me which is why I asked for help.
