Here, you can have my delicious boy's name

[Adair]

As dh hates it and won't go for it

It's Evander. Means 'good man', is from Roman mythology.

Could be Evan for short...

Ohh, I love it

Sound man your dh. Always thought so. Safe pair of hands. Salt of the earth. Pukka Sahib.

(don't forget he approved Skyler... and convinced me out of the 'proper' spelling...)

Evander is a great name! What's wrong with it? (apart from Evander Holyfield association of course, is that so bad?)

Since Evander Holyfield is the only example I could think of, then yes, it probably is that bad an association.

Would your DH accept Lysander as an alternative?
Alexander is always good, of course..
