DH and I are having the hardest time agreeing on boy names. My DH likes traditional classic names ([name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]) and I like more uncommon and a little more modern sounding names.
My favorite name combos are:
[name_m]Koen[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
I need help thinking of boy names that combine both mine and DH’s styles

Or, maybe a name like [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] that gives you the nickname [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. He could be called by his full name by his dad and you could use the nickname, if you chose. There are lots of examples where this could work
I like the suggestion of [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ren[/name_u], or also [name_m]Law[/name_m] would be a cute nn!

YES girl. Are you me?
Husband likes [name_m]William[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Maverick[/name_m]. We are so different. lol!
Can you guys each make a list of 5-10 names that you like, and then you pick two names from his list that you’re okay with and he picked two names from your list that you were okay with and try to narrow it down from there? That’s what we usually end up having to do with our kids lol.
I think a good compromise could be calling your child a classic name but giving them a modern nickname?
I would use one of his for the first name and one of yours for the middle name. [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_u]Easton[/name_u] or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]. I do like [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u], but think it might wear better as a middle. [name_m]Koen[/name_m] I don’t like at all.
I like [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] and [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] from your name suggestions.
Would you consider [name_m]Zebulon[/name_m], Edwin or Edmund? They’re old fashioned names, but hardly used.
