Naming baby boy

Sandra
My bf wants the baby to be named after him if it's a boy, if I compromise and name him after my bf but want to call him by his middle name is that the same as not giving him my bf's first name? 
My bf's name is Kyle so if we name him Kyle James and call him James is that the same as giving him
James as a first name?
