"Like Frank, But Not Frank"
My husband and I have been talking names since we are trying for a baby, we have a couple girls names that we agree on, but he can't seem to find any boy names he likes. Last night he told me he likes "solid" consonant sounds, and doesn't seem to like long vowel sounds. His offering was "like Frank, but not Frank." Of the names he doesn't mind, but has overwhelming associations with (which I swear is everything) he seems to prefer more classic names. Any suggestions?
