DH only likes ONE name, Aldous. I don't like it for a few reasons.

I have literally suggested tens of names I like and I get a no for all of them. i have told him to come up with a list. I'm 30 weeks now.

Can mumsnet please come up with some suggestions that might be new based on names I like, to see if there's ANYTHING he likes.

Names I like;

Cash
Beau
Kit
Sasha
Atlas
Elias
Otis

Please help!

I have a Sacha, he is Alexander but we have always called him Sacha. We thought he might like the option of being Alexander, Alex, Zander, etc but he loves being Sacha, it really suits him.

Well your dh is going to have to come up with some other names then! It is very unfair of him not too, what if you insisted on a name that he doesn't like.....Both my dh and I have had to compromise on all are dc's names. Give him the name book and tell him he needs to come up with 5/6 names that he likes and then you can choose together. Or do what I did and call the dog his favourite name so it couldn't be used :)

I like Kit, Atlas, Elias and Otis.

What about Cassius? It's a sort of compromise on Aldous and Cash!
