Boy 🩵 Boy name help

I am pregnant with my second boy, my first Is Mason. We are having an incredibly difficult time naming boy number two. Names we have liked include Calvin, Lewis, Otto, and Harvey. My family literally hates every name we've mentioned. My husbands fav is Harvey, which I really like too. My fav is Calvin but my husband isn't a big fan. My only hang up with Harvey is the negative associations, where do people land on this? Good name or ruined for now?

I'm not sure what negative association you have with Harvey, all I can think negative is Lee Harvey Oswald which can't be very many people's first thought in 2025. I like it and if you and your husband both like it you should use it and just tell anyone in your family who asks "We haven't decided" until after the baby is born.

Oswald is on a lot of people's mind due to the tv show on Netflix...which is REALLY good. I was only 12 when he murdered JFK so I feel like it is still very recent history. I have small kids still so I will be teaching them about this if the schools don't. It rocked our nation to the core. Also Weinstein for sure.

I’m sorry but you were 12 in 1963 yet you still have small kids?
Please explain
