Has anyone had any problems with the issue of family names?

I have names on both my side & my boyfriends that should be used for boys names, Charles on mine and John on my boyfriends- but he prefers the gaelic version, Ian I'm being very selfish though, i dont mind Charles as a middle name so much but i can't stand John/Ian. Especially Ian & he wants to use it for the first name- (is obsessed with the idea)- i have an uncle named John who i dislike an awful lot, he was named after his brother who died as a baby- for those two reasons i dont think it's appropriate.
I know its hugely selfish but if I hate the names with a passion then I have to put my foot down! Right!? There should be compromise but he couldnt have picked worse names for me to agree too...I wouldnt make him agree to a name that he absolutely hates.

I'm thinking Ethan Alexander (Alexander is his brothers middle name so its sort of a family name & Ethan isnt popular in England...I'm hoping it wont catch on from America!)
Ethan Sebastian

He refuses all my names because i dont like his, wow we're stuck!
