good vs. compromise

hello my name is David, my wife and I want to give our first child (a boy) a name that means a lot to all of us. We are just stumped on how to do that. We considered using her maiden name (Finnagan), the name of her late brother (Dominic "Nick’), my brother (Paul) but we also want him to have a name of his own. So last night I came up with this: Finnick "Finn". It’s a way to incorporate her maiden name, her brothers name, but still have a name that isn’t used in the family before. What do you think? I’d like some opinions before offering it to her.
Which baby name is best?
 good
 compromise

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
