In need of help

in Baby Names
Im 33 weeks on saturday and really need help with a baby boy name, my husband and I cant agree on anything. His middle name will be Ian and last name Donnelly. He also has a big sister called grace. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I feel like we have looked at every name possible.

    Do you have a preference for a kind of name or name origins (Irish, French, Italian)? Number of syllables? A list of names you've already discounted? The information you've provided so far is a little too little to go on, tbh.

    Thats the problem we are having to be honest. We have gone through so many names already that by this point we are really open to any suggestions that sound nice with Ian Donnelly. I would prefer a shorter name and nothing thats too common, but also nothing to unique or hard to spell or pronounce. My husband really likes Liam but I hate how common it is and how it sounds followed by Ian. I like Isaac but neither of us are really convinced thats the right name either. If we were having a girl her name would have been Charlotte or Elena. Im hoping that someone on here can introduce us to a new name or even suggest a name that we might have glanced at but not given much thought to.

    Have you guys considered using Ian in the first name spot? Ian Isaac Donnelly works and obviously you both like it.

    Unfortunately we are only using the name Ian as it is a family name, Im not really that fond of it which is why I would like to keep it as a middle name.
    Thanks for all the suggestions. Caleb and Nolan were on my list but my husband hates them, so was James but I feel like it might be a bit to boring and traditional.

    How about...

    Miles Ian Donnelly
    Jonah Ian Donnelly
    William Ian Donnelly
    Emmett Ian Donnelly
    Gabriel Ian Donnelly

    Ps-my son's name is Isaac. I wasn't 100% sure either, but I really like it now. It's a solid biblical name that isn't too common. However, it's not too crazy (i.e. I think I like Ezekiel, but couldn't go that far).

    I love Emmett but I know my husband would hate it, also worried it might be linked to the twilight series.
    I think I might just  have to work on convincing him to let me have isaac. It would be helpful if he would suggest some names but he's lazy when it comes to that and its becoming impossible to find something he likes.

    Fwiw a side character on a series that ran its course is not an issue. Truly rennesme or whatever is the only thing thing to twilightey

    I would tell him he better start coming up with some suggestions if he's just rejecting the names you come up with! I seriously wouldn't bring any other names up until he starts suggesting some options of his own. However, I agree that Isaac is a nice name. I also like Patrick. I see a few ladies have suggested Micah and I think that's a strong, underused name you can't go wrong with.

    I'm seconding Seth but I'm bias as that's my sons name. It's strong and uncommon without being over the top.

    I like both micah and seth, but I have a friend who has two children with those names.
    My husbands names is chris, so that ones out. 
    I have definitely stopped suggesting names, I think Im going to leave it up to him now. If he doesn't come up with anything before this little guy arrives I think we will settle on Isaac.
