Names you can't use

[tuilamum]

This is a thread for names that you love but can't use for various reasons eg OH doesn't like it, someone has ruined it, another family member/friend has named their baby it, ran out of children...
That way we can appreciate some beautiful names and maybe offer some inspiration to expectant parents-to-be so that these names may find a good home
I will go first...
Girls: Aria, Theia, Thalia, Maia
Boys: Logan, Aidan
Uni: Blake, Harper, Harley, Sam

Girl names are fine!

[MadFestiveGnome]

Laurie (DH hates it)

[Tigs0609]

I love Eva for a girl... My sister in law has just had a baby called Evie, so that's out the window

[DiscoSpider]

Fraser, it's SIL's partner's surname.

[StevieJo]

Lily - cousin named her daughter Lily
Isla - close friend named her daughter Isla
Emma - family name but an awful girl ruined it

[Oysterbabe]

Gulliver. I love it but DH says no way.

[FlyDragonfly1]

DH hates Jared, Frederick, Felix and Laurence.
Only ever had one DD so I couldn't use Emmeline.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Gabriel. Well technically I could as they'd never be in room, nor would they ever meet.

[Christmascheerful]

Alba. D bil ruined it by talking about the electronics brand and then I was on the train one day a group of men were talking about a friends new baby man 1- "alba she's called..." man 2- "like the TV?"... my heart sunk and I knew it was a name resigned to the sidelines for me...

[VinylScratch]

I loved Ruby and Rosie but DH hated them. I think DD would have been Ruby if he hadnt vetoed it.

[Bellejournee]

Barnaby - love it, but husband not keen at all.

Elias - far too similar to my mil name. I'd never hear the end of it.

[Enkopkaffetak]

Flora our surname starts FL
Seraphina. both dh and I love it but none of our dds looked like one.

Allanah I adore it dh refused (turned out to be significant x but oh I love it)

Always adored Sebastian but dh hates it
Otis dh not keen .


Love Regitze However it just doesn't work in English.

[elQuintoConyo]

Ruby. Our surname sounds like Tuesday luckily child is a DS.

[emwithme]

Eloise: my name is Emma Louise

We also struggle because we have a ridiculously common surname and so it seems that there's someone famous with almost every name out there.

[helloelo]

DH said no to Celeste
Close friend's baby is Lou
Adèle (...)
I can only make boys anyway...

[Tirfarthoin]

Apparently Dorian, Jolyon and Joslyn are all too posh I have a Dbro called Rupert ffs, nothing is too posh as far as I'm concerned.

[doceodocere]

Jared would be perfect but it's my Godson's name.

Joel is too close to my name.

Many of my other loves are too pretentious, apparently ; Ignatius, Blaze, Ezekiel.

And I won't be using any of the beautiful names on my girls' list because I'm about to have my third boy and final baby!

[cathpip]

Arthur - we called the dog Arthur 4 years ago when we had thought we were not having anymore dc. (Currently feeding 4 month old ds3!)

[Champagneformyrealfriends]

Lewis (DH had a friend at school called Lewis and he was a bit of a bad egg)
Rosie (good friend has a "Rose" and she'd be upset if I used Rosie)
Naiomi (DH doesn't like it)
Cassandra (Only Fools and Horses references)
