We can't agree on his name (sort of vent)

I would never in a million years thought that we would have so much trouble agreeing on a name. Not fighting about it, but geez... lol
We sort of have a Virtue/Biblical theme going with our first 4, unintended per se, but we don't want something that would seem like we randomly picked a name out of the baby book because of that.
I'm leaning towards more modern names, but DH is going way traditional. We have agreed that the middle name will be Henry, which is DH's middle, DH's dad's first, and his grandfather's first, and even further back on his family tree. Our last name is sort of close to Hasselhoff (yes, you can chuckle at that, but no, we are not related to anyone famous/cheezy/rich) but it is very German.
I have 2 names that I love, that DH says he really doesn't like at all; and DH's top choices are not anywhere what I like.
I really like Pierce or Solomon, but he likes John-Mark or Samuel..... See what I mean?
We have quite a large family and many names that friends have suggested are already taken within the family. We already have 2 Davids and 2 James, for goodness sakes.. Also, We have Mark, John, Jacob, Adam, Joshua, Caleb, Christian, Jonathan, just within our immediate siblings and 1st cousins.
A friend suggested Seth, Deacon, or Shepherd, but we have other distant friends that chose those names for their sons already. And my BFF just named her baby Michael William.
Is anyone have any similar disagreements,, or possible suggestions?
Thanks for letting me vent this before my mood swings take over

Re: We can't agree on his name (sort of vent)
Solomon and Samuel don't seem to far off, maybe one of them will begin to grown on you/him? I'll throw out a suggestion of Samson... to go along with your biblical names..
My dh and I are in a stalemate over James Anthony or Andrew James... so not too far off but neither of us are willing to budge. We don't know the sex of this baby yet so that is one reason we're just hanging where we are.
Good luck with a peaceful agreement
Or maybe go full-out German with this little guy. Hans, Stefan, Josef
Haven't had too much problem agreeing with DH yet on possible names but once in a while he throws one out there and I think "he CAN'T be serious".
So we are down to Pierce (my fave) vs Luke (his fave)
I guess whomever speaks to the vital records nurse first, gets their way LOL
LOL Trip him and get a head start to the nurse with the completed paperwork in hand. Both names are good choices. I am partial to Luke but only because I have a nephew named Luke and he is my bestest buddy. Glad the site was at least somewhat helpful. Both names are great choices I can see why it would be hard to decide.
Men!!!!! LOL
I was totally cool until he threw the Darth vader in there.. So, it's ok for his dad to start the teasing before he's born? good grief, ha ha..
Yep, I married a 14 yr old LOL
I guess part of my "problem" is that normally I'm pretty laid-back, but the momma hormones this go around are giving me a difficult time of letting anything go.. I cry at the drop of a hat like a pubescent school girl... what is THAT about?
(It wasn't my favorite - and we're having a girl anyway.)
