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?

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

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

Debs75 · 18/08/2011 18:38

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

SchrodingersMew · 18/08/2011 18:37

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. Angry

Debs75 · 18/08/2011 18:36

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

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/08/2011 17:27

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.

scarlettlips · 18/08/2011 17:25

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!
