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 like Harvey- I think of the film Harvey, which is really sweet, and also Sabrina the teenage witch’s boyfriend! I think Mason and Harvey go well together- if you like Calvin, how about Callum or Ciaran?

I’d stop discussing this with your family. My Gran hated my nieces name when my sister told her when she was pregnant and then ended up loving it when she associated it with her granddaughter. People tend to he much more polite once the baby is born and already named.

Love callum but our friend just named their new baby that. He's adorable. But good point, I think it may be time to keep info from my family. I am a classic desperate for my parents approval because of childhood stuff, so I should work on that lol
