Ok so really easy what do you think?
Obviously like Stanley...but spelt Stanlee like the guy who wrote all the marvel comics.

No. Common names spelled badly are absolutely awful. They don't sound chic at all, but as though the parents can't spell.

No.

Call him Vincent instead.

It’s not all of a sudden, we have two Stanley’s in year 4. I always think of Flat Stanley.

I see what you are doing here OP, but I’d always end up saying Stan (pause) Lee, instead of Stanlee. Why not call him Stanley Lee.

I like Marco. Marco Stanley would go well, or Robin Marco.

Can’t believe people are still commenting on how awful Stanlee is - OP has already taken comments on board and said she’s not using it! Poor lady is going to come back to another barrage 🙈

Why saddle a kid with a name he's going to have to spend his whole life spelling out to people?

Stan Lee was actually called Stanley. Stanley Lieberman. Your husband can’t be that big a fan if he isn’t aware of that.

Its so funny how seriously some people have taken this. I wasnt going to name my child this, like i said it was an idea of my husband and i was asking people opinion on it. I was neither here nor there and found it more interesting than anything. Like i said my faves are Robin and Marco. Any more friendly suggestions would be much appreciated though as i am not set on anything yet!

OP I really love Robin. A classic that is underused. Perfect name

I don’t like Robin because it’s an old family name for us and every single one has been a bastard.

@StuntEgg you just made me spit tea everywhere! But his underwear probably now you mention it.

If you want traditional early 20th century name, how about Robert or Edward. Both easily shortened, but classic and with gravitas.

Stanlee remind me of chumlee from Pawn Stars which isn't a brilliant association Grin

Marco however is really lovely imo

Robin is fine (and a nod to DC comics which your husband might not be too pleased about if hes a marvel fan)

I have a Stanley, hes 15 and loves his name.

Prefer Mark or Marcus to Marco unless your Italian or similar. Not too keen on Robin but I do quite like Stanley!

Out of your three options, I’d go for Robin.
