Lois - would be ridiculous with our second name.
Anna - too many friends have had one recently
Beatrice- DH said no
Ruby - a relative of Dh, who was abusive had the name Rubina, shortened to Ruby so it could never be considered.
Ailsa - was on short list for dd1 then frozen happened and it was then considered too close to Elsa and ruled out for dd2.

ElfOnTheBoozeShelf · 26/12/2015 15:31

Isis / Iset. DH will never agree to them now Sad

LumelaMme · 26/12/2015 15:30

Thunder, Vervet is a kind of monkey... Possibly an ideal match for some DDs!

I liked Dorothy, but DH vetoed it even as a middle name.

CherryPits · 26/12/2015 15:17

Jemima
Anna
Marie-Louise

Strokethefurrywall · 26/12/2015 01:48

Dylan for DS1
Leah or Valentina for DS2

FanjoFandango · 26/12/2015 01:38

I loved (and still do), the name Caoimhe. My family are Irish so pronunciation over there wouldn't have been a problem. Over here it would be. I said we could spell it phonetically, but DH said no. When I pushed for it, he said he didn't like it anyway.

Lovelybitofsquirrel · 25/12/2015 23:05

Marnie, Esther, Edith

Manon
Arietty
Indigo (not even a real name)
Vervet (again not even a real name)
Beatrice
Dagmar (amazing Norwegian name)
Charlotte

Sorry that's probably no help at all. Can you tell we struggled a bit?!

MovingSouth · 25/12/2015 22:23

Francesca (DH didn't like it), Imogen (narrowly lost out to the name we chose), Cassia (DH didn't like it plus we googled 'cassia

Sofia and Klara. I have 3 sons and the chances of a 4th dc are virtually nil.
Quite partial to Isobel and all variants of, Elinor, Hannah and Tamar, also.

SauvignonPlonker · 25/12/2015 22:21

Elise - DP vetoed it
Eilidh - spelling/pronounciation confusion outside of Scotland
Isabel - used as middle name instead
Esmé
Erin
