Baby No4 name

I have 3 boys already and pregnant with baby no4. Gender is unknown.
We have got a girls name in mind but just wondered what others thought of the name Esson for a boy 🤔 My husband is set on the name but I'm just not too sure.
We already have an Innes, Blair and Lyle.
Thoughts?

Don't like it, sorry. How about Evan, Ethan, Ezra or Ewan?

It's maybe not a "name" but it is a surname. I have thought about Innes and Esson together and it is certainly a mouthful. I think my husband has his heart set on Esson but if I find another name I might manage to persuade him that it's not a good choice.

I'm not convinced either, for three reasons:

Have you tried saying 'Innes and Esson'? It's a bit of a mouthful.

Aside from that, I'm not aware of it as a name whereas the other three names are certainly not common but are known names.

And it makes me think of the German town whose name I've only heard of as Britain bombed it during the war.
