Awkward OHs!

I know this is completely subjective, but what are the worst names that your partners/parents/in laws have come up with? My DH has come up with the names Hero, Aspen and Ryder (all for boys Shock) whilst my MIL suggested we should call our DD Eugenie (and yes, she did say after the princess).

Also what names that you love have been completely ruled out by OHs? I absolutely love the name Constantine but my DH was having none of it! I know this is probably a conversation that he will be having with mates down the pub himself, but I think it would be interesting to see what others have to come up with!

I always post this on threads like this.

My dp really wanted to call dd2 Neveah

Ex mil wouldn't allow us to call ds callum as she couldn't pronounce it Hmm

DH has suggested, and I vetoed without question:

Thomasin (I know one, but not very well, see her often and seemed to weird)
Morwenna (Stupid Peppa Pig voice over, and we are not Welsh!)

In return, he did the same to:
Evelyn (too old fashioned)
Lorellei (never heard of it, made up. he is not very well read).

We have however now chosen a name.
