AIBU to change my mind about baby name

So baby no. 2 is due shortly.
I chose the name for our first child so I told dh to choose this time - I said as long as I don't really hate his suggestion we'll go with it.
So we found out at 20 weeks were expecting a boy. He told me his name suggestion and I didn't love it but didn't hate it either. Although uncommon, it is a normal name. So I agreed that's what we will call him.
So he has told all his family and my family that this is the baby's name, when talking about the baby he uses the name he has chosen as does our other ds. Some family have bought personalised items with the name on it.
But now I'm not sure I want to go with this name. WIBU at this stage to say I've changed my mind on the name when dh has been calling the baby this name for the last 4 months?

No, it's too important.

Tell him you've changed your mind and ask him what other names he likes.

Some cultures do not reveal the name until after the Christening deemed to be bad luck to do so..

I horrified some Greek friends when I asked the newborn, but unbaptised, baby's name.
