    Raphael - I like it. Raph or Rafe are cute nicknames.
    Ethan - Great name, strong and sounds fine with your last name
    Joshua - Josh is classic and cute. I wouldn't use Joshua just Josh.
    Vegas.....husband hates this option...doesn't want his child named after Sin City!!! - sorry i agree with your husband
    Diego - reminds me of dora's friend!

    I think they do it on purpose so that they can suggest a normal name and we jump at it.

    DHs boys name list for this baby, without a lie or exaggeration, went like this:

    Apollo
    Macarthur
    Bear
    Beaver
    Snake
    Chip
    Chuck
    Oscar

    Hmmm which one would *you choose* lol?
    Lucky for him Oscar was on my boys list already, but its not my favourite.

    At least we agreed on a girls name very early on.

    I like Raphael, thats nice

    I am positive that DH is suggesting terrible names on purpose. So far I have gotten Trevor, Terrence, Roger, Steve, Shane, Kevin and Wayne. Then to follow it up he suggested Rio, Ferdinand and Fernando. I can place most of them as English Premier League players but I am still drawing a blank with a few.

    I like Raphael. Ethan is very popular now, as is Joshua. Vegas and Diego are a bit much.

    I like the names Corbin, Milton, Morgan and Rowan with Lava.

    Raphael is a great choice. Love it. He will get Raph for short and I love it. It's also uncommon.
    Joshua and Ethan are nice but very common. Sorry but I'm not into Diego (reminds me of Dora's cousin too) and I don't like Vegas...I like unusual names but not American ones, and when I think of Vegas I think of Elvis style weddings and gambling.
