I think of Remington Steele and then "Steely Dan," and "steely dan" is another name for - ahem - male anatomy, so I say no. :) Sorry.

I love the name Edward, though - any chance of that as a first name?

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Ask him if he's hoping for a tiny little porn star. That should sway him. ;)

I have tried everything to get him to change his mind on it. That is why I'm praying for a girl.

Edward is a very nice classic, but I dislike both Steele and Diesel.

I'm not a fan of Steele or Diesel. They sound like a cartoon super hero to me. There are lots of other strong/tough guy names if that's what your husband is looking for. I know the pp made fun of Stone - but I love that name.

Ideas:
Brock Edward
Blake Edward
Bronson Edward (ala charles bronson)
Conrad Edward
Cole Edward
Clinton Edward (ala clint eastwood)
Drake Edward
Grant Edward
Garner Edward (ala James Garner)
Gage Edward
Jake Edward
Jack Edward
Luke Edward
Pierce Edward
Ridge Edward
Rock Edward
Stone Edward
Sloane Edward
Vaughn Edward
Vincent Edward (and call him Vin - it's better than diesel!)

Not my style at all... very corny and over masculine... sounds like he's trying too hard, KWIM?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but only to given an honest opinion per your request. To me, Steele and Diesel sound silly, like romance-novel or soap-opera names. What I don't get is why your husband gets to name your child. If that is the compromise that works for you both, that's one thing. But if you are not comfortable with a name, it should be off the table.

I think of the movie Zoolander and Ben Stiller's look "Blue Steele"

What about:
Weston Edward, nn West - this is cool, but not too corny
Graham Edward, nn Gray
Grayson Edward, nn Gray
Cash Edward
Dominic Edward, nn Dom
Vincent Edward, nn Vince
Dean Edward
Archer Edward
Lochlan Edward, nn Lock
Declan Edward, nn Dec

Good luck,
Brooke

I think both parents should have veto power over any name they don't like, unless they're being totally unreasonable and vetoing everything.
