I've got the same exact dilemma. Our boy's name will be Andrew Hudson III. I hate it but it's a family name and my husband's was nuts about his grandfather, who was the last one to carry it. It's really hard on me because I personally didn't like his grandfather because of how he treated women and it rubbed off on my fil and my husband, but we had an agreement, I would let him name our son if he let me name our daughter otherwise he would've named her Mary and that's my name, my mom's name and my mil's name and I coldn't do that to my poor poor daughter.

we are naming our first boy Jerrald Vern IV, but my hubby is letting me name the rest of the kids, so I guess it is a fair trade.

Well I like the name Andrew. I'd consider it but its my brother in law's name

That's the one thing his name's got going for him-- it's after two great grandfather's-- both of who were great guys well beloved by nearly everyone they ever met.

My husband called him Andy today...and that is always cool to hear my husband talk about our unborn babes by name--as though it is sinking into to his mind that they actually exist before they are born

I really think I'll get used to it...but that I just need practice saying it.

At least his name is Bernard or Ignatius, or Aloyisus (No offense of course, to anyone who likes those names)

It'll just take time. My son's name is not my first choice for a name but it was very important to my husband to carry on the family traditional of having the same initials as the father. We came up with Liam when we were pregnant with our daughter 5 years ago and neither hubby or I loved it but it was the only 'L' name we could compromise on. So even though we had a girl last time and not a boy our "son's" name has always been Liam so when our son finally got here it was just already his name and can't imagine it being anything else. So I think you will get used to it in time.
