[name_f]My[/name_f] heart was set on ‘[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Roman[/name_m]’ but my husband doesn’t like it.
He has his heart set on [name_u]James[/name_u], but because we’ve already got a [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], I feel like I don’t want another conservative name like [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u] etc.
The baby middle name will most likely be either ‘[name_m]Josef[/name_m]’ or ‘[name_m]Roman[/name_m]’
Names I like so far: [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
Husband likes: [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
Any help would be most appreciated.
Also, bonus points for a nod to European names.

Luca [name_m]Roman[/name_m] is lovely! I think I’d kept the middle name [name_m]Roman[/name_m], because it shares -o- and -a- with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] (and for the same reason I’d use a first name like [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], [name_m]Damon[/name_m], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Noam[/name_m], [name_u]Carson[/name_u], [name_m]Jason[/name_m]…)
I think [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] share the sweetness of [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and the “classic” feeling of [name_u]James[/name_u]. [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Josef[/name_m] is pretty nice.
Louis [name_m]Roman[/name_m] is really handsome too
Josef is lovely and your other children’s names are really nice classic choices.
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] however is just too trendy for me and very likely to date very quickly, having come from nowhere to be one of fastest rising names, at the same time as many other very similar sounding names. I’d avoid even for a middle name but that’s just me.
Too bad you husband doesn’t like [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. It’s such a beautiful name. I think that [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is adorable too, & fits in perfectly. [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is actually probably my favorite. I love all of your choices. Actually, your husbands’ choices are nice too. Would you be more willing to use [name_u]James[/name_u] if he had a cool fresh nn like [name_u]Jem[/name_u] or Jass? [name_m]Louis[/name_m] is super cute too. It’s a good balance of a little quirky & classic. [name_m]Just[/name_m] like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] & [name_m]Tommy[/name_m].
Sorry for any repeats, but here are a few ideas that you may like:
Lots of good suggestions already, so I’m just picking my favorites from them. I think another classic but less common name like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. I do not think [name_m]Roman[/name_m] is trendy, btw.
What about [name_m]Charles[/name_m] “[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]”? It’s strong and traditional like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], and you get [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] out of it. [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m] is really lovely.
Also if you like nicknames maybe give him [name_u]James[/name_u] and call him [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] or [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] to make it feel a little more casual.
That said, I think [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] are great and you can’t go wrong with any of them. But maybe you can convince him with…
