When bf doesn’t like your favourite name 😭

We don’t know what we’re having yet but I fell in love with Imani for a girl. Bf says no as it’s too similar to his family members name.
Any suggestions on something similar?
I like names along the lines of Maia, Valentina..

Not Malia. It’s a place in Crete where you go for a boozy holiday!

Malia and Sasha are Obama’s DDs names.

Valentina is gorgeous, does he like that?

Barrack Obamas daughter has a lovely name - I can’t remember it off the top off my head but I know I like it!
