What name did your DH come up with for your babies that you hated?

[FortunesFave]

DH wanted to call our first DD Charlie.

Fucking Charlie!

SO many lovely girls' names and he comes up with that.

Sorry if your is called that...it's nice enough I suppose but it's just not something I'd choose for a girl.

[PearlAsylum]

Edmund.

Classic name, yes, but I could only think of Blackadder and the horrible Narnia one.

[Fernando072020]

DH suggested loads of "American" sounding names. Tyler, Jason, Kyle. Not a fan.

[Popskipiekin]

Blake. We have DS1 Logan, and DH wanted Blake’s Seven and Logan’s Run… vetoed. Sorry, DH.

Michelle, Lorraine, Bernadette. Our kids were all born this century, not in the 1960s.

Crikey. I don't think I could live with him after that. If you misbehaved, would he put you in a home run by nuns?

[FallonCarringtonWannabe]

Kyle

[SpangoDweller]

DH wanted the name of a character from Warhammer.

Luckily there are many characters in Warhammer and DS has a normal name which does have a tenuous link.

I was the crazy name lady - Plantagenet, Dearborn, Angel for a boy
Sable, Liberty, Scarlett for a girl

Liberty or Scarlett would have been ok - not to my taste but ok - but the rest are awful! Were these hormone induced name choices?

[30not13]

Rita or Lorraine OK this was back in the 90s but still cmon!

[Shehasadiamondinthesky]

Wanting to call him after some random friend who he doesn't even see any more years later. I said no.

My DH’s name list for girls is basically the class register from 1994 (Jessica, Chloe, Sarah, Rachel, Rebecca, Emma, Natalie).
The names are fine but I just associate them with people I went to school with (some I liked, others I’m sure are nice people now 😂).
Luckily we’re having a boy!

Mine too. He was very sold on Sarah, but there were about 11 of them in my class and 50% of them used to bully me!

[smaragda]

@beingatwat I forgive you! 😂

@smaragda

My DH comes from a family where they do the same with names. First boy has the grandfather’s name. DH is luckily the second boy so I was able to veto that suggestion without causing a family rift. He wanted his dad’s name for the middle name for our hypothetical boy but I wanted my grandad’s name. Neither of us liked the other name.

[Margaritawithlime]

Hepzebah! Fortunately he was a boy

[BiteySpears]

Bruce for a boy.

He would protest that I wanted Arcadia for a girl.

If I had been a boy I would have been charlie, as it is I'm a girl and was called Victoria...which is also on the no list it seems! Lol when I was pregnant with my son my husband wanted to call him Anthony, which as a name is not too bad, unfortunately it's my dad's name and in our culture the first boy is supposed to be named after the father's father. I just knew we would get grief.for it for the rest of our lives, so we went with something completely different. My FIL still hasn't forgiven me for not naming the boy after him, and my son will be 18 next year!

Sorry @smaragda

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

@AlwaysLatte

Aubrey. Would be 'strawberry' within seconds when he started school!

I teach an Aubree (girl) and she’s never once been called strawberry.

[NotSorry]

For our 3rd - David - nothing wrong with David I hear you cry…

He wanted his middle name to be Beckham

For our 4th - Norman

Jean, Axel and Dante.

[RedwineforSantaplease]

Cornelius.

In fairness it was the night before I was having the baby and we'd lost the plot trying to think of a name.

[Kuachui]

friends dh wanted ruddie and pilley for a girl. 🙄 sounds like he was naming a horse not a child
