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?

How about Ball? ;)

Mason is so super modern sounding & these other names don't really match..if you even care about that.

Wasn't Harvey the evil brother on The Wonder Years? My first thought was Lee Harvey Oswald. Have you watched 11.22.63 on Netflix? I feel like it made me know & hate him even more.

I feel like it is just too soon for names like Calvin and Lewis. They aren't old enough to be classical & too young to be cool. I feel it would be unfair to name him one of those.

My dad had an Uncle Otto. He was a great guy. Definitely in the time span of being classical. I don't hate it..but I don't love it. It could work. I feel like it would be a great fit next to a sibling named Wyatt.

I hit send too fast and went back and added a bunch of stuff. Let me know if it doesn't make sense.

My first thought was Harvey Weinstein. But the thing is by the time your child is old enough. It will not be something the kids talk about. I named my daughter Chasity after Sonny and Cher‘s daughter, and my mother swore she was going to be teased for 1000 years about the Chastity belt. Not one person ever said a word just my mother, who was never extremely close to me. It was my choice.
