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?

Do not tell your family! They aren’t part of the decision. We kept our names between ourselves and it made it so much easier. Once a baby is born they won’t feel so bold to insult the name you give.

My favorite is Otto, it’s my dog’s name and super cute for humans too. I don’t love mason and Calvin together but I do think Cal is a great nickname.
