What would you call your baby if your dh had no say?

[magicmelons]

Dh ruins all of my baby name plans here is my list if he had no say for a Ds I would have a Hugo or a Jesse we mostly agree on girls names but I love Fleur and he despises it.

What would you call your baby if you had free rein?

[scarlettlips]

Ohhhh great thread magic....

DH said no to the following boys names. Too many to pick...
Orlando
Hugo
Noah
Jude
Peter

But had a DD and we agreed on that!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

We actually played something like this inbed this morning! Dd1 wanted to know what I'd call my children if I had 7 boys and 7 girls and dp hated all but one of them.

For my real dds, I wanted to call dd1 Eloise Claire and dd2 Harriet Posy but dp was having none of it!

The names he particularly objected to this morning were Thaddeus and Barnaby.

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Verity

[Unlurked]

Katya and Rudy or Rufus.

Stupid dp with his stupid opinions...

[Slainte]

Fionn (DH says this sounds like a fast car zooming past)
Aoife (says it's like "E" is for Elephant)
Ptolemy (just no!)

[ShoppingForCarbsWithClaire]

Ooh. Gabriel or Rufus. Spoilsport.

But he let me have a Hugo :o

[popcornchicken]

i loved boe for a boy or girl but he hated it :(

[Eglu]

DD would have been Clementine.

[DessertsInReverse]

slainte i love aoife but dh ruled it out saying aoife this or aoife that .

ds1 elijah
dd2 naomi
ds2 lyndon
ds3 ethan
dd3 clodagh
dd4 cecily

[magicmelons]

Oh and all Irish names here, managed to sneak Aisling into dd1s middle name but when I wanted to call her Aisling he just kept saying Ashley What?

[DessertsInReverse]

ds2 i'd forgotten would actually have been cillian dh was so negative because it begins with kill that i then tried to persuade him to accept lyndon but too no avail

[Debs75]

dd1 would of been Jessica Frances after my grandad Jesse Francis, or elloise
ds would of been Gabriel or Harry
dd2 would of been Indiana(bloody lego game)
i may of relented and she would most likely be Isabella or Tabitha
dd3 would of been Philippa or Freya

[SchrodingersMew]

DS would be getting called Casper or Caspar. Failing that Ethan.

I'm quite mad actually because I don't particularly like our name choice.

[Debs75]

Oh and if dd3 was a boy then she woulf of been Woody or Noah

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I managed to end up with a Naomi! Love Cecily too.

[ThePosieParker]

Imagining DH having a say over the baby I carried......strain.....nope, can't...babies had the names I wanted.

[SchrodingersMew]

I'm fuming about this actually!

I've had a horrid pregnancy, in and out hospital constantly and he's just sat on his frigging laptop designing and playing video games the whole time.....

Yet we have a name planned that he likes and I don't.

Love Cecily btw!

[pink4ever]

Ds1-Tristan,christian or sebastian
dd-Agatha,cecelia,clodagh or clothilde
ds2-cillian!-cant believe someone else on here wanted it!

DD would have been Aoife(which we both loved) if it hadnt been for inlaws deliberately mispronouncing it

[superjobee]

ha! DP hates me for this because im the one saying no to every single name he came away with!! poor bugger we spent forever and ended up with a nice normal name for this fat baby :) i hate almost all baby names..

only names i wasnt allowed off my lists were:

frances
brodie
callan
edward

and for girls

natalie
erin
emmy
esme
sinead

[rachel234]

Some lovely names on here (perhas us women should choose names alone) - I particularly love Cecily, Cillian, Rufus and Thaddeus!

[TrillianAstra]

Some lovely awful names on here (perhaps us women should never choose names alone)


:o

[pamplemousserose]

Merlin and Isadora

[SchrodingersMew]

Trillian - My DP wanted to call DS JESUS... Fucking seriously!

Us women should choose the names. :o

[SchrodingersMew]

Trillian, your name just makes me want to answer everything with 42.

[TidyDancer]

For a DD, it would've been Clementine or Sunny. The former he believes to be pretentious (he is clearly wrong ) and the latter doesn't go with his surname (we will be getting married so gave the LOs his name so we could all be the same one day).
