How to convince vs. my husband to vs. use the name he always loved?

Hi, I am looking for advice. My husband loved the name Campbell for a boy for about 20 years since he was a teenager, I love the name ever since he mentioned it to me back when we were dating. We’re expecting a little boy but we can’t use Campbell anymore. My husband’s younger brother is getting married to woman named Campbell. We knew her for years and we thought we would get over her having the same name that we love but my husband can’t get past it especially since our son would be sharing a name with a woman. Don’t get me wrong we love Campbell, she’s stunning, very intelligent, super feminine and fashionable, has a great job, and just has an amazing sweet and positive personality all over but we wished she had a different name. I tried to bring my husband back to the name since our soon to be sister in law is a great association for our son to share a name with and it would be no harm in our son having the same name as a woman but he won’t budge. This will be our only child and I would love for my husband to use the name he loved for years.

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.
