I am 31 weeks pregnant, and DH and I haven't decided on a name for our little boy. There is a long-standing tradition (6 generations) in his family of naming a boy in each generation Peter. In fact, that's DH's name and his day's name. DH does not use it except professionally. His parents were very hippy and gave him a nickname that isn't on his birth certificate at all. It's kind of unusual (hence, why he doesn't use it at work), but I love it and all of our friends and family use it. Except for his grandmother, who calls him Peter (also her late husband's name).

Since we found out we were having a boy, I've been putting off having this conversation. I suggested we put out favourite names in a vase and add to it whenever we thought of something we liked. Then, when we were ready we'd go through them all. We tentatively set the end of January to do this. And here we are.

I know he put Peter in there, because the paper wasn't folded well, but also because he mentioned in passing that he's not set on Peter for a first name, but would be okay with it for a middle name. Which is better, but doesn't change the fact that I still hate the name. I don't know how to have this conversation. Any advice?
