We had decided on Sophie for a name and my OH has just told me it is an ex girlfriends name!!!! Wtf! He tried to justify it saying it was a daft under 16 relationship but I'm still raging!!

Furious is an amazing name and the story of how you came up with it is epic 🤣

... practically though, Eilidh is much better than Sophie. Or is Sophia different enough?

Ilikecakes · 10/07/2018 19:03

Sophurious. I fucking love MN, having a proper chuckle at that one GrinGrin

Mousefunky · 10/07/2018 18:52

How far did it go at that age really? Were they together for years, lived together, engaged etc? Of course bloody not. They probably snogged a few times behind the bike sheds ffs.

If you love the name that much this really shouldn’t matter. He basically once knew someone called Sophie, that’s it.

Chill out my ex named his first born after me

AgathaRaisonDetra · 10/07/2018 16:02

Farstandtha is a nice name to go with Furious.

Wolfiefan · 10/07/2018 16:02

Honestly you're sounding either hormonally batshit or about 12.
Pick a name you both like.
The End.

He had decided he doesn't like Sophie now

To appease you?

QueenAravisOfArchenland · 10/07/2018 15:54

FGS, this is a complete non-issue. Are the pair of you literally 17?

On the other hand, I'm really warming to baby FURIOUS.

Bobbiepin · 10/07/2018 15:52

OP save this thread and come back to it when baby Sophie/Eilidh/Sophurious is a year old. It'll be good for a giggle with a cuppa and a biscuit.

I do think that you should give serious thought to Sophurious though.

I'm more annoyed that we have to change the name now as I think he mentioned it to someone and they made the comment about the ex and then came and told me about the comment which made me go into a hormal raging mess lol! Back to the drawing board! Just need to push for Eilidh now😂

Oh I spelled it wrong - jeez OP you can’t catch a break with this name can you 🤦🏻‍♀️

OnlyBaBaBiss · 10/07/2018 15:46

Sophurious is amazing!! Do it OP do it Grin

TheMerryWidow1 · 10/07/2018 15:45

jeez I thought you'd got a real problem to worry about.

BlancheM · 10/07/2018 15:44

Sofie then? Phoebe? (Sophie and Phoebe have always been similar in my mind).
I don't see why it would bother you though.

LilacIris · 10/07/2018 15:43

Sophurius

Yes, please use this. Or else Sofury has a nice ring to it. Grin

One of my sons middle name is David. My first serious boyfriend at 17 is called David and I have dated another David. I've never made the connection as it's a lovely normal family name.

LemonBreeland · 10/07/2018 15:34

Sophie is a really popular name. It's not like it's Princess Consuela Bananahammock and he knew someone once with that exact name.

I hope you've managed to calm down and see the funny side of your anger now.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 10/07/2018 15:27

Ha ha. This is ridiculous. He was a kid, it was hardly a serious and meaningful relationship.

SilverySurfer · 10/07/2018 15:19

This must be a joke. If not, it's pathetic.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2018 14:59

I love the name Furious.

OrdinaryGirl · 10/07/2018 14:54

But the names of the actual Furies are quite beautiful. Tisiphone (avenger of murder), Megaera (the jealous) and Alecto (constant anger). All of those are cooler than Sophie.

You know it has to be Furiosa. You could name all your kids after Mad Max characters.
