I think it's gorgeous but i agree i think i like it better without the R.

If he doesn't like it then what is his suggestion, is he making any proper effort?
I had this issue with DP and he finally agreed, i think i wore him down once i knew he kinda liked it... now i say to A... can you say ZARA... lol she has no idea what i'm on about

Any ideas on middle names to go with it?

Good luck, hope he changes his mind.
He likes piper and shelby
