boy names

my husband and i are trying to agree on boy names. we both don't want the same old overused names. we want a very unpopular and unique name. the name he wants was originally on our girl list. he wants the name Ocean. it's in the book as both boy and girl, but i think it sounds more like a girl name. i agreed at first but now i'm changing my mind. he won't try to look for other names, he wants to keep the name. how do i convince him to consider other names? and does anyone have any other suggestions for names?

Behind the Name (one of the naming sites I trust most, though it has its flaws...like not listing my son's name!) lists it as both male and female. I have to admit, though, that it does feel very feminine to me. I'm not sure why, since other water-body-names like River and Lake sound male to me.
The best way to convince him to look at other names, in my opinion, is to just say "I don't want to use the name." And have other concrete suggestions. Guys don't like open ends when you're shooting them down--they want to know what YOU would do.
what do u think of MARLOW for a girl? i'm having a girl in june!
Yeah my husband told me that if we were having a girl that he would pick the name and if it was a boy that i would pick the name (not really fair huh?) anyways he picked Zoey for a girl and i hated it but now we know that its a boy and i picked Malachi and he likes it. Just start suggesting names. my sister was going to name her baby Cash Isaach but his dad changed his name like 5 minutes before he was born idk if you like it you can suggest it to your husband.
