Do you have to love the name you give your baby or has anyone just thought in the end "its fine - it'll do"?

Because it really looks like that is what is going to happen here..

Please forgive the following possibly hugely over the top, hormonal ramblings of a pregnant woman but Im really beginning to despair over a boy's name. Im only 24ish weeks but I've literally been searching for a name for months now (as many of you will remember from my numerous posts in baby names) and I have nothing. This is dc3 and we had so many names from very early on with our 2 dc.

I've considered loads - I've went outside of what would usually be our taste/ comfort zone. I've tried to match a name stylistically with other dc, then go for something completley different.

Anything that we've remotely thought "yes, that could be it" has been fine or ok or basically "it'll do" - nothing fabulous, nothing we love. Its not that we cant agree on a boys name - we just cant find anything that we feel anything more than a vague liking for.

A girl's name is easy - we know its Kate Anne Elizabeth. Even if we werent so sure on Kate, we would have a list as long as your arm of girls names we adore.

We already have an Oisín. I think this is actually the problem. I love this boy's name so, so much that I cant quite follow it - nothing seems to live up to it as equal for me and I feel this is unfair to a potential ds.

Oooh we've considered loads. Some I've posted about here and then PML an hour later at the how ridiculous it would have been. I've received a million helpful suggestions from mumsnetters but nothing jumps out.

I could actually cry tonight over this - Im aware that is ridiculous and completely overly dramatic but I dont know what to do - think this one we'll just call "boy"

Has this happened anyone?
