or do I need a magic wand to achieve this?

Depends on the reason for objection. DH rejected lots of my girl ones for being too unusual or "old lady" first time round, thankfully we had a boy.

For dc2, I'd made sure I'd talked a lot about little ones who were friends with dc1 with "old person" names to start making them seem more normalised to DH, found celebs/actors/writers with the names I liked and dropped them into conversation (making them seem more normal again), then added some very crazy names to my list, making my old ones seem more normal again in comparison.

If it's because he hates someone with that name, try finding other with that name so he doesn't just associate it with the person he doesn't like.

Otherwise, you might have to come up with a new list.

My husband was adamant that he hated my favourite name, Daniel, because he worked with a horrible guy called Dan that as a teen. Dominic was also ruled out because our surname has a "Nic" sound in it. Waaaaaaaaa LOVE Dominic.

Yet we still eventually came up with a name we both love. Be careful because how would you feel if he tried brainwashing tactics on you? My DH wanted to call our son Waliea (it is a beach) and other very special names!

If you figure it out let me know!@ suggest something awful to compare to. I think there is a lot to be said for familiarity. ..put the list on the fridge or somewhere

Unflip
