Men v Women. Who has more traditional or unusual taste- you or your partner?

Wondering who tends to be more traditional and who tends to prefer to be more daring - men or women? Sorry this is quite a hetero-centric question but am still interested in any couple really.

Do you tend to find men or women prefer more unusual names or more traditional names?

Just interested really.

I'm a bit more out there (although not too much), dh is quite traditional.

Dh was more traditional.

My dh has a very common and overused name (in the 70s) so he was that our children have less common names. Both our dc have names far outside the top 500!

Me and my OH are about 50/50. He wanted things like Aurelius and Tidus (which actually I quite like Tidus) and I liked names such as Cassiopeia and Acacia!
