We've found out baby 2 is another boy and of course are stuck on names. DS1 was 3 days new when we finally agreed on a moniker for him and I definitely don't want to do that again.
Our problem is conflicting styles. I like names that are old fashioned or starting to come back into style, usually names that are on the popular list but not top 10. DH likes unique or weird spelling names or names that are 80s popular.
Our girls name choice was Elise. And we agreed quickly on it! But moot point now.
My list has in no random order: Owen (DH hates) Levi (DH hates) Oren/Orrin Oscar (not great with Middle name choice below) Lucas/Luka/Luca Elliot
His list (big help he is): Aurrin (will not budge from this spelling)
Names I like but can't use due to family/friends: Benjamin Oliver Thomas Harvey
Last name is one syllable and rhymes with "tough". DS1 is (edited) (PDQ). DS2 will also have a family middle name (99.5% sure it will be Cla.rk).
I'll take suggestions or back up that my names aren't that bad! Thanks everyone!

So he just made up Aurrin because he didn't like how Oren looked? Sigh.
I asked about Ezra too and it was a firm and fast no. He's being so freaking difficult. Considering DS1 was his name choice and I warmed up to it. One can only hope.

I think the clear winner is Orrin since you both agree. He has to smarten up about the spelling. Dear Mr. lilmonk, don't burden your child with a misspelled name!
Oren and Orrin are definitely by far the best and your dh is being a child about the spelling. Other suggestions (all with authentic Irish spellings, which I would think would scratch your husband's need to have the name look "different"):

I'm also going to suggest an alternative spelling for Owen -- Eoin.
My BFF just used that spelling for her newest' MN or else I would. She's happy for me to use it but I couldn't. We have pretty similar tastes in names and both have all boys. Makes it interesting. 😂
