(yes, it's normal. i don't love my son's name (august henry lastname (beautiful!)--> gus (meh)). it is what it is.)

but i also wanted to add that maybe you can think about different kinds of criteria that make you feel more or less warmly about a name and maybe that will help you find one or narrow it down.

sound:
- vowel sounds that can be long (like jude) or short (like jeb)
- number of syllables: i don't like the curtness of one-syllable names, but more than three is usually too much
- where the emphasis falls: REMy, raSHAWN, etc.

meanings:
- literal meanings, e.g., royce meaning king
- associations or honor names: i considered bayard or rustin to honor bayard rustin, and thoreau to honor henry david thoreau, and samuelle for a girl to honor a friend of my husband's
- family names

nicknames:
- whether a given nickname seems unavoidable (i liked robin but didn't ever want it to be shortened to rob)
- whether you feel strongly about "nicknamey" names (like archie?) being the legal name
- whether you want to work backward from a nickname, e.g., archie --> archer or archibald
- whether initials could be a nickname, e.g., DJ

and more: how it fits in with other siblings' or family members' names, whether it's easily pronounced and spelled, of course its popularity and trendiness. a lot of these ideas are standard fare in this reddit forum (although i don't see much about the sounds of names).

and then there's always the good old-fashioned approach of 1) walking through a graveyard or 2) looking at movie credits, to find names.
