I had a similar situation with my DW. I did the male equivalent of pouting & crying. I went by myself to meet Gus. If I had taken my DW with me, she'd have said "Let's think some more." We'd still be thinking 10 months later.

It took about 6 months for my DW to really warm up to Gus. Now she thinks he's so cute, & affectionate. My wife rarely smiles, & is usually grouchy. However, when Gus greets her she bursts into a large smile, & she become's warm & calm.

I think the name change is doable. I think it's the tone of voice more than the actual name.

Good luck. I think it will work out very well.
