Help. We only like / agree on one name

[floriad]

We both like Thomas.

But it doesn't really work with our surname... And we seem have really different tastes in girl's names.

I'd be really grateful for suggestions / advice.

The meaning of hector would put me off

What about Felix?

"hectoring" or the meaning of the name?

Felix is fine but it's a bit too fashionable imo.

I know a boy who's first name and surname are the same, like Andrew Andrews, but I different name. Lovely kid, and once your past the "really? Your parents liked their surnames so much they used it for a first name too" when you first hear it, you don't even notice or think twice

Go with Thomas if you both love it.

Yes, to hector. That would put me off.

duckling

It's not my favourite name. But it's the only name we both like... But I feel like I'm slowly starting to dislike it (maybe because OH is a bit inflexible / says that it we need to compromise but doesn't seem to be willing to genuinely consider compromising...?)

I really like the name but I see where you're coming from.

My English/German compatible boy's name (I went out with a German speaker for a bit) was going to be Adam.

Tobias? Stefan? Lukas? Christian?

I probably wouldn't got for a very similar first name and surname but then there's William Carlos Williams - might it work better with another name in between?

Lukas
Henry
Nicco
Louis
Zachary
Aaron
Samuel
Sebastian
Barnaby

Eva
Rosalyn
Delilah
Arabella
Aurelia
Eleanor
Susannah
Hannah

Sebastian really is nice :)

Adam is nice but a bit too biblical / rib-y imo.

Daniel, Alexander

Katrina, Lena

Joseph/Joe
Edward/Eddie

Edith/Edie
Rosalind/Rosa
