Boy name help please

[georgianwindow]

DH and I have very different taste in boy names and are struggling. I can't tell you how many lists of names I have read but I'm hoping somebody might think of one I haven't seen.

DHs taste includes names like: Jonathan, Charles, Jensen. He likes traditional names (I know Jensen isn't traditional).
My taste includes things like: Cyrus, Atlas, Atticus. I like unusual names.

We did briefly agree on Harrison but have gone off that since. Enzo is still on the table but it doesn't feel right.

Equally unhelpful is our family's faces whenever we mention names that we are considering (just say "that's a nice name" ffs?! Don't say nothing at all whilst putting on the fakest smile I have ever seen) as if we manage to agree on one then one of us gets put off by reactions.

Edgar
Gus
Fitz
Felix

What's your daughter's name? That might help people work out what sort/style of name you and DH compromised on and then maybe we can suggest more.

How about these tyraditional names that are not that over used right now ....
Cedric
Hector
David
Ivor
Christopher
Scott
Leon
Peter
Wilbur
Dougal
Stirling
Adam
Xavier
Wallace
Angus

I'll be absolutely no help here but I feel your pain! When I was pregnant with our son we couldn't agree on any names it was so hard! My taste is very much like yours. I loveeeee Atlas, Hadley is another name I like.
We ended up with Hudson James in the end which I still love now

I hope you find a name you both love 🤍

I wonder if you just need a proper discussion with your DH about why he is so intransigent. Is it that he really wants Jonathan because it has personal meaning and associations in which case you might be able to chat that through and find an alternative with similar associations. Or is it that he is very concerned about his child having a name that doesn't invite attention or teasing or something? Perhaps it's something to do with when he was at school and the fear of sticking out in any way. In which case you can maybe chat that through as probably what seems like an older safer choice might stick out more these days as the conventional names for this generation are going to be a different set and his realising this might calm him down a bit.

Whatever it is, seems like you need to get to the bottom of what his general objection is to the names you like and why you can't find a compromise as a lot of the names you have suggested it seems aren't that way out. If he ends up with a name he likes but doesn't love and so do you perhaps you need to point out that this is a fair compromise? Having a very fixed idea in your head of THE name you always wanted to call someone perhaps isn't always a good thing anyway as the child will become their own person and so, to some extent, letting go of fixed past ideas of what they must be called maybe acknowledges that a bit more and embraces reality.

I also don't see at all why your other child can't have a say. People on here are so prescriptive. So what if the other child makes suggestions too and gets involved. That's really nice. If you like their suggestions that's great. If not, don't use them or maybe have one as a middle name. I was named by my sibling and I really like my name. Much better than the ones my parents would have chosen for me!

The younger sibling had no say in the first child's name. There was a thread recently where a little boy suggested Jizzabella as a name for his sister.
There's the power balance in sibling relationships - DC1 will have been an only child until DC2, whereas DC2 will not.
