Cant agree on a name

My boyfriend and I cannot agree on a name for our second child, a baby boy.

We are currently having relationship issues and cant have a conversation without arguing. He wants to name him Leonidas because he has always liked it. He shot down all the names I liked (Nolan, Finn, Oliver) saying they were p*ssy names, not strong enough. I have tried multiple times to express that I dont fully agree with Leonidas as his name but it always ends up with him shooting down my names and saying how he has always wanted to name his son Leonidas (mostly cuz it sounds cool).

I feel pressured to name my son something I dont want to name him. I tried to talk about compromising with Leon but my bf wants to argue that Leon will be his name, that Leonidas is just his full name. But i feel its giving percy jackson character rather than real baby boy.

I like Leon but after all our issues and him being mean about it I dont feel good about the name. After much thought I think I like the name Bastian. Bastian Leonidas. I feel ok with Leonidas as the middle name and think thats a fair compromise.

At this point I dont know if i can even forgive him for things said or how he has treated me this pregnancy. Am i overreacting? Is Leonidas an acceptable name? Should I fight to name him Bastian (or something different)?
