I've fallen in love with an entirely unsuitable name. Any alternative suggestions?

The name is Gwilam. It is unsuitable because it is basically the Cornish version on DH's name & too similar.

If DC2 is a girl she'll probably be Isolda, or Cynthia.

But I am totally stuck for boys. Maybe Sampson, and DH likes Ulysses (no no no).

Gillan? I once taught a boy with that name and loved it - buy my DH's surname is too similar to it :(

Drake.

I think it is the Cornish / Celtic angle I'm liking.

Ruan is great!

I like Tristan. Slightly but off by the meaning.

I shall run gwilam past DH, but I'm not optimistic.

Tristan?

I don't think it being similar to your DH's name matters. In fact I think it's quite nice?
