Boy Names

Hello, we are trying to name our second boy and we are bumping heads.

Our first son has 2 honor names from my side of the family.
Now my husband wants an honor name from his side for our second.
The big one is [name_u]Robert[/name_u], but I just don’t like this name or any nicknames associated with it. Also, if we use as a first name, he insists I call him [name_u]Robert[/name_u] and not anything else.
Anyway, I’m trying to compromise and this is what we have so far.

[name_u]Robert[/name_u] [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_u]Robert[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Robert[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite name is [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], which has an honor name from my side and not his. However, he likes this name, just would prefer [name_u]Robert[/name_u] instead. We both like classic names and I like the idea of the middle name starting with S because his brother’s middle name starts with S.

Please let me know your favorite or other suggestions.

[name_u]Robert[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Robert[/name_u] are both lovely!

It’s a shame you don’t like [name_u]Robert[/name_u], it’s such a wonderful name with so much history and potential. [name_u]Robert[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] is my favorite.

Is [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]Robert[/name_u] an option?

Otherwise i like [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Robert[/name_u]

I was thinking the same thing. Or Sullivan Robert/Robert Sullivan? It seems like using Robert and one of your names is a good compromise, especially since he likes them anyway, even if not as much as Robert.
