Octavia

I liked Dylan (the musician) and Tyler (the rebel) DH dismissed both on grounds of chavviness. Liked Rose for girl but someone stole it. All my kids have ended up with very classic, timeless names.

I liked Isla the first time round, but dp ended up choosing dds name.

This time I wanted Connie but we’re having a boy, and I chose his name! Dp tried putting a few (horrendously awful) suggestions in but no way was he deciding twice.

IdblowJonSnow · 12/03/2019 20:40

It was my choice. Why would it not be after going through all that?!Hmm

DramaAlpaca · 12/03/2019 20:38

The names they have. DH agreed with all my suggestions.

grincheux · 12/03/2019 20:38

Ack - oops - that would've been DH's choice I mean!

grincheux · 12/03/2019 20:37

Chastasius. I wish I was joking.

Justgivemesomepeace · 12/03/2019 20:36

Saskia and Gabriel or Joel if it was my choice.
We couldnt agree on anything. He wanted names like Carter or Parker. We settled on Leah and Lucas.

greenlynx · 12/03/2019 20:36

We have one DD and she would have the same name as I chose it. DH didn’t mind.

Moonflower12 · 12/03/2019 20:30

@Bamchic
My DD is a Zara. She loves seeing 'her' shop! DP chose her name and had no idea that it was a shop.

I would have chosen Alexandra. Lexi for short. (From Monarch of the Glen!)

I wanted my son to be Kingdom- he is very glad it was vetoed and he has a 'normal' name.

SparklesAndUnicorns · 12/03/2019 20:10

I wanted to name my eldest Skylar but she ended up being Ruby, I was single by the time I had my second and their dad wanted nothing to do with my son so I picked his name myself and it was great not having to compromise with anyone 😁

mathanxiety · 12/03/2019 19:51

Niamh, Aoife, Bridget/ Alice, Colm, Lara.

Ellieboolou27 · 12/03/2019 19:37

I got to choose both, although I have excellent taste Grin

tomhazard · 12/03/2019 19:37

With no input from DH I'd have chosen Cecily and Dominic but DH hates both! If it was just him he'd have picked Elizabeth and Jack.
We have a boy and a girl but the names are both nothing like any of these!

Anouk

Shmithecat2 · 12/03/2019 19:33

Matthew

Anerak · 12/03/2019 19:30

Penelope and Samuel

Sophronia · 12/03/2019 16:26

Susannah or Alexander

crisscrosscranky · 12/03/2019 16:14

Ffion and Nancy

DD1 is 11 and thanks her father regularly that she is not a Ffion (I have welsh heritage but we live in SE England). She also says Nancy is an old ladies name so perhaps I just have awful taste 🤣

Groovee · 12/03/2019 16:11

Matthew... vetoed by his whole family. They had an employee who couldn't say his son's name and called him Maf-Eww
