Boys names please!

[newreflections.livejournal.com]

I need desperate help for a boys name. My SO is very very picky. He really wants "richard laurence barry III"
And I refuse to recycle a name that I dont even like. I didnt get to pick his name, but I can pick this one!

-The last name is Barry.
-He seems to like more common names. I like names that can be shortened.
-I LOVE Luke, Dylan, Mason. he hates all of those :(

We have decided on the girls name, Katelynn Elise Barry.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! Im running out of ideas!
Thanks :)

I think it's a shame to take a family name that's been passed down and not use it, unless the name is terrible, which Richard isn't, IMO.

What about using the name your SO "really wants", but coming up with a nickname you like? I know a little boy who's Something III, and he goes by "Trey" for three.

Why does it really matter? If she doesn't like it, why should she have to name her kid that just because her so and his dads name was that? That's kind of lame.

to the poster:

I really like Luca, which is a form of Luke, and I don't like Dylan AT ALL because it is so overused. I get a picture of a jar in my head when I hear Mason. hahaha.

Ethan is a common name, but one I really like. And Tyler too. Connor, Seth, Jakob, and Peter are nice too.

She doesn't have to, but it's worth considering since it's important to her SO. I think using the family name with a nickname she likes is a good compromise, but she can feel free to disagree.

I just really dont like Richard. I have agreed to keep Laurence, or put Richard as the middle name.

we know someone named Ethan that is really annoying.. lol that name is out.
I like Connor a lot, and Jake has already been rejected :(
At this point Im seriously just praying for a girl so we dont have to fight over this anymore.
I will suggest Peter I think he might like that one.

yeah. Maybe you could use this: http://www.behindthename.com/random/ You can just check english if you want normalish names and keep refreshing the page for names, you get a lot of choices. haha.
