We are really stuck on boy names. I want Aidan, but DH wants Ivan. He's adament about it. I'm just not sure about it....it's different, as I don't know any Ivan's but it just doesn't sound like it fits a little baby boy. What are your thoughts? BTW, the MN is set to be Lee, after DH and his dad. Yor 2 cents would be greatly appreciated. Oh and my 2 DD's are Ashley and Abby. TIA!

I really don't like the name Ivan. And I don't like the way Ivan Lee sounds. Do you remember that show Avonlea that used to be on TV? That's what it reminds me of. I like Aidan. It sounds good with Lee, plus he's have an A name like your daughters, which is kinda cute.

I like Ivan. It is differant, but not bad, and you can always give him a nickname when he's young. I like it alot better than Aidan because it isn't all cutesy with your daughters names, and it isn't so amazingly popular.

Ivan is a very masculine and strong name. I'd go with it if you want your child to have a more indivdual name. Aidan is one of the popular names at present. He may end up with several in his class.

Another similar sounding name is Ian.
