DH and I both hated each others favorites (mostly due to associations with people we knew) so we ended up looking at names that were neither of our first choices. The first time the name we've picked came up DH was reading things out of a name book mostly as a joke. I laughed and was adamant it was ridiculous. But it ended up really growing on both of us and now we're really happy with it. We've compromised on middle names - I've agreed to use one of DH's faves even though I'm not crazy about it. (I did point out that means we can't ever use it as a first name for future children while all my favorites are still fair game :-P )
