In my case, I like 'Mary' a lot, but I definitely dislike 'James'. I don't want to hurt DH, but there's a very high possibility that his brothers will also name their future sons 'James _____', and I think that's just too much. I would gladly consider it if it was only his + his father's name, but I think 4+ James in each generation is way too much. On the other side, I feel greedy if I "demand" that we name our daughter Mary, and deny him to name our son James.. He's very accommodating though, but there's more family pressure from his side. I'd use his middle name any day!
