Names for Little Boy Blue

Naming children with my husband is not fun.  Sometimes funny but not fun.  This morning I asked him if he had any names to put on the table.  He started with Stetson and moved from there to Blade and Wallace (we both like that--just not Wally) and ended with Buckworthy.  Then we had a discussion about why Buckworthy is a great name but Bucksworth is not.

Grr.

He still likes Ian.  I still think it is too close to Eli.  He still doesn't like Oscar or Theo.

In short--same-old discussion we've had hundreds of times.

Rasmus is on the table officially for the first time.  It has been talked about often but never officially added to real possibilities.  Rasmus John.  It's not terrible.  Edward so we can call him "Dwerd" is terrible.  Ivanhoe--still terrible no matter how often Timothy says it.

Is Timothy serious about any of this?  No.  Therein lies the real problem.  Much like with Eli, he will probably have a name in mind for months but only tell me about it once the child is born and I don't have time to really think about it.  Hence paying money and going through the hassle of getting Eli's middle name changed a few weeks after we left the hospital.

Naming babies is a painful process if you have more than two children.  I gave him a wonderful list of possibilities.  He said no to all of them.  How do you hate all 20 names your wife proposes?  Argh!!!!!!!!!
