Too many to count, but Felix, Joseph, Elspeth and Flora all spring to mind.

DH vetoed most of mine, but the ones I'm most upset about are Eleanor and Anna.

On the other side of this I vetoed Brian and Clive from my husband's choices. He wasn't joking. He really wasn't. Only ten years ago too.

A friend of mine has a Perdita. Personally the name will always be the Mum dalmation in 101 Dalmations - was that why it was vetoed?

Victor. And I'm still upset, even though our baby turned out to be a girl!
