"I want to call my next son (should I have one) Huckleberry. Resounding no from DH."

Ha ha - My DH wants the name Huckleberry and I do not!!! He's getting quite insistent.

I love Hugo but he hates it... sigh.

For a girl I love Silver too. Doesn't go with surname tho. Iris and Edith were vetoed by DH.

emmyloo2 · 30/04/2012 14:47

I want to call my next son (should I have one) Huckleberry. Resounding no from DH. I think he thought I am joking but I am not. He has agreed to Arthur or Hugo though. And I am still pushing for Humphrey....

Softlysoftly · 28/04/2012 23:54

Need names now but so far veteod by family/dh are Indi, Raphael, alethea.

Latsia · 28/04/2012 18:11

Maia and Orianne for girls. Milo for a boy.

Vetoed at every turn but love the ones we did agree on nevertheless.

monkeymamma · 28/04/2012 17:07

Geraint, Abe, Corey. DH hated the latter two and thought we couldn't use the first as we're not Welsh. I thought it would be OK though.

BenedictsCumberbitch · 25/04/2012 22:08

Sebastian or Wolfgang
Clementine or Clover
I still looove all these names

BulletProofMum · 25/04/2012 22:00

Hector

Beamur · 25/04/2012 21:59

DP and I both quite liked Calypso but decided it was a bit too unusual.

FunnysInLaJardin · 25/04/2012 21:59

I love Aurelian for a boy, but a tad too poncey even for me. Settled on Fabian and Raphael (Rafe) for the DS' in the end

AnneOfCleavers · 25/04/2012 21:56

Claudia, Lydia and Caroline. DP hated them all.

We agreed with boys names. It was just girl's names that were a struggle.

mathanxiety · 25/04/2012 21:53

Alice, Bridget, Angharad, Seonaid, Aoife and Niamh.

Psammead, I got one of yours.

Psychopsilocybin · 25/04/2012 21:27

When/if we have another the girls name I REALLY like are either Ophelia, Juliet, Olive or Elspeth. DP hates these names so I have no chance of using them.

The boys names I was going to name DS were either Miles, Braydon, Tobias or Zachary. DP hated Miles which was my personal favourite. So we settled for Noah.

minouminou · 25/04/2012 20:59

Maverick Danger.

I dare someone....go on......

Nobhead · 25/04/2012 20:52

Vinnie for a boy, Ashleigh for a girl.

AWomanCalledHorse · 25/04/2012 20:50

Badgerina, I love Thorbjorn! DH vetoed the second he saw my face light up when I heard it on tv.

Boy; Maverick Danger. full name, he would be such a chick magnet.

Girl; Zelda or Concetta.

minouminou · 25/04/2012 20:45

Thorbjørn......I'm a big fan of Scandiwegian names!
You'll have to get babbied up again, Badger.

OpenMindedSceptic · 25/04/2012 20:38

I wanted Hemingway as a middle name for DS Grin

Badgerina · 25/04/2012 18:32

p.s I also had Kester, Gryff, and Phineas (god how hormonal was I???)

Badgerina · 25/04/2012 18:30

I liked Thorbjørn for DS. How epic would that be?!

Hello, this is my son: Thorbjørn the THUNDERBEAR! He would suit it too.

minouminou · 25/04/2012 12:59

Tostig.....but then I am a colossal knobhead.

mrsSOAK · 25/04/2012 12:48

I got the name I wanted for DD but we had plenty of ideas and arguements along the way. For a long time DD was to be Amandine or Niobe, neither of which 'go' with our surname but I didn't care! I also had a few hours on Eve and Dawn but again doesn't work with surname.
