I never thought naming a child would be this difficult. Last name sounds almost exactly like Wazowski from Monster's Inc.
It wouldn't have been if it were a girl. If he were a she she definitely would have been either Beatrice Gail or Verna Gail, both family names.
But...its a boy. We've got a list of names, but none we really love. Middle name is definitely going to either Joseph or Herbert.
The contenders! In no particular order
Names with Family Significance
Leonard
Walter
Edwin (Grandfather was Edward. Edwin was the street I grew up on, and I'm not sure whether that's a plus for significance or a minus for being a street)
Arthur (I like Arthur, but my wife isn't crazy about it, I think mainly because she HATES Art/Artie as nicknames)
Jonah (my wife likes Jonah, because I'm Joe, but I'm not crazy about it.)
Names with No Family Significance
Wesley (Downside - almost every male in my extended family is a Star Trek nerd. Even I've been imitating Picard when I say it)
Alexander
Andrew
Gregory
Luke
At this rate he is just going to be The Baby With No Name

Ehh I didn't have a name for my daughter till the AFTER she was born. All my kids have nerdy pop culture names tho.
I like Leonard for what it's worth.

I really like Walter and Leonard. They sound classy. I guess I'd go with Leonard, it seems less common.

If you stick with the Baby With No Name, may I suggest Joe Manco Blondie?  Anyways, congrats, man! I hope mother and bambino end up healthy and happy. |

Give them a completely generic and unmarketable NXT name, like "Dalton Webb" or "Caleb McHenry" or something.

I like the name Arturro, which is a variation of Arthur. Could nickname him Turro and avoid Art.

If it's a boy you should name him Sue.

I like Alexander and Luke This. Andrew would fit well with the surname too, I think. Best of luck to you and yours, my friend. |

I'm obviously biased to Andrew as it's my first name.

Luke sounds good. Not too trendy. Not too old fashioned. Not too old or too young.

Just go for the gusto and name him NO NAME. Especially if your real life last name is McGoo. No Name McGoo.  ......but seriously, congrats to you both.  |

Since you guys have an unusual last name, I'd suggest going with a more common, or traditional, first name. I have the same issue and I thank the lord every day I remember my name is simply David, and not the batshit insane thing my dad wanted. It's bad enough having to spell out my sername for everyone, at least my first one is easy.
Out of the ones you listed I'd suggest either Alexander, Andrew, Gregory, or Luke. If having a family name in there is important to you, add one of them as a middle name. You can have more than one, like I do.
