Here I go again... Moritz

Baby boy arriving within the next 4 weeks. My DH was previously obsessed with Arve (one syllable Arvv) which was comically shut down by fellow MNers. Now he is fixated on Moritz (nn Morrie), Serge or Walter.

I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't seem to come up with any names I like other than Tom (which DH has fairly said is safe/boring). I don't mind Walter but fear he'd get Wally (which I really dislike).

I'm still working crazy hours and feel like my brain switches off at the same time I shut my laptop. Please help me see sense - are all of these names horrible?

Moritz is not a name (unless you're a saint)!
Serge - are you or your husband French?
Walter - nice enough, but may well be Wally unless you insist on Walt or something else.
What's wrong with a 'safe' name like Tom?
I don't know why everyone is determined to choose 'unique' or unusual names.

It's a resort?

Nn - Ski boy?

I quite like Moritz, but you'd have to see if it suits the baby. I'd use Ritz as a nn, don't like Morrie at all.
