What names did you ADORE but DP/DH vetoed?

I am mourning over the fact I'm not allowed to use Perdita. Sad

My DH vetoed Michael on the grounds of that it really wasn't a name I would have ever suggested if pregnancy hormones weren't sending me conflicting messages. He may have had a point.

Same coffee!
I love the name Gabriel, dh suggested Robert. How far far away we were Grin
Also vetoed were Xavier, Fabian and Kit.

Globetrotter I love your post and your accommodating DS!

DH vetoed Sol which I loved. Ironically my now 18 year old not-Sol is often found drinking Sol.

Willow. Because it's "a shit film and a stupid tree". Bastard.
We ended up with Evie instead. Which is pretty but every time I shout her 15 kids turn round cos they're all called Evie.
Wouldn't have happened if she'd been Willow I tell you!

Rowena. I'm still bitter.

"Perdita."

Your DP is a smart man.

Before we knew gender my husband vetoed Lily because he thought it sounded too much like his sister's name and Logan because he thought I chose it because I love X-Men comic books. Which isn't why I wanted it but whatev.

Gabriel and Daphne. Particulary sad about Gabriel, as I absolutely love it.

dkb15164 · 12/02/2018 12:23

Matilda and Frankie 😭

Perfectly reasonable suggestions vetoed by DH with reasons :
Anna (boring)
Elizabeth (too queenie)
Rowan/Robin (didn't like unisex names)
Verity, Bryony (just didn't like)

I vetoed his only suggestion of Charlotte

We eventually found a name we agreed on for DD at 2 days old using an app!

Globetrotter100 · 12/02/2018 11:27

Hamish. We agreed on a name we both love (and so does DS) but I've filled DS in on the backstory and he lets me call him Hamish sometimes Grin

GirlcalledJames · 12/02/2018 11:23

DW vetoed Flora, Rowan, Carey, Valerie, Vivian, Ariel, Ismay, Audrey. I'm putting them on the list for next time though, just in case.
We did finally find something we both loved, though.

Adelaide
Francesca
Genevieve
Cadence

Florence 😢

NakedMum33and3rd · 12/02/2018 11:12

I love the name Silver but DH thinks it is too hippyish. Only 8 weeks pg so I still have time to work on him (if it's a girl)

juddyrockingcloggs · 12/02/2018 11:04

I wanted Jimmy! It was vetoed on the grounds that he thought it sounded like a Martina Cole character.

MrsJayy · 12/02/2018 10:54

Isla and Rowan i bloody love Rowan he sadly vettoed it twice.we agreed on boys names but no boys came

user1483387154 · 12/02/2018 10:51

tobias and noah

Unihorn · 12/02/2018 10:49

Daisy is a cow's name and Aurora, with Rory as a nickname, is too out there. We are back to the drawings board with 8 weeks to go at the moment.

Oliversmumsarmy · 12/02/2018 10:49

Tiger

As it turns out ds is most definitely a Tiger. It would have suited him down to the ground.

calilark · 12/02/2018 10:33

Meredith and Cian. I am quite pleased about the Cian veto though, I've gone right off it! Still have Meredith on the list though for a future dd

NorthernLurker · 12/02/2018 10:30

Harriet. I mean what the heck is wrong with Harriet? He said it was because of Harriet Harman. It was 1998! Nobody would have associated them now. We went for Miranda instead which is pretty good I guess.

timeforachangeithink · 12/02/2018 10:27

Sebastian and Xanthe.
