Names you love but DP says 'no way!'

[DessieLou]

I love unusual names but OH is quite boring conventional so looks at me like I'm a complete loon sometimes!
Anyone else got names they love but will never be allowed to use?

Atticus
Aubrey
Safira
Zuri
Oriah

to name just a few!

Moss??????

No - sorry Moss for a boy - I added it in to the sentence and didn't read it to see if it made sense.

And Trilby is a great name, I think. From the book by George Du Maurier. I wrote on it for my dissertation. And before you ask, the hat was named after her.

She was a tone deaf life model who posed for a group of artists in fin de siecle Paris, she met and came under the spell of Svengali and, under his power, she could sing like a bird. I'll have to save it for a cat now :(

I think it would be v cool for a cat. :)

Like the story behind the name - I didn't even have a good story as an excuse for Melody!

I really like the name Delilah but im sure DP will veto it when we start ttc next year.

I also like Hiedi but im guessing that will be a no to.

You should read it. Everyone should - I'm not really sure why not many people have heard of it. One of those mysteries, I guess.

I don't really have a good story for the rest of my kids's names.

My sister and her DH had a pact for thier 3rd child, She would name him if it were a boy and BIL would name her if it was a girl.

Sister wanted Josh and BIL wanted Xanthie (spelt like that pronounced Zan-thee) we all hoped and prayed it would be a boy and it was, my sister really hated the name Xanthie.

Eloise.

Vetoed for DD1 2 years ago but I worked on him.

Eloise is 8 weeks old and sitting in her bouncy chair as we speak

I love Ivo but my husband hated it.

And Phoebe for a girl.

We will have Phoebe if we ever have a girl it was what DS1 and DS2 were going to be called if they had been girls.

Phoebe is our second choice name for a girl. It will be a middle name if we have a girl.

We will have Phoebe-Jayne after my mum (Jayne) she died in April and i would really like any DD we have to have her name.

Boys on the other hand are a nightmare for us to name we struggled with DS1 and 2 there are no names that 'grab' me.

Ignatius
Atticus
Beau
Reuben
Rafferty
Gabriel
Arthur
Jasper
Jude

Clementine
Iris
Agatha
Clara
Esme
Esther

and anything else I have ever suggested. I am 30 weeks and apart from ridiculing all of my suggestions bar 1 boy and 1 girl name that are "sort of OK" he has yet to bring any suggestions of his own to the table

DP vetoed Jathniel, my first choice for DS. In hindsight, I'm glad he did.

Benedict
Dominic
James
Austin
Rory

Abigail
Matilda
Roseanne
Annabelle
Evelyn

I rejected his one contribution - Ronja.

Rufus, Noah, Jethro and Huw

They're all great names Eatyourveg.

I liked Joshua, Ryan and Dylan but he didn't

I wanted Elliot if the DD's had been boys.

Calliope, dh wasn't keen,neither were most other people I mentioned it to. there are days when I wish I'd just put my foot down and used it.
