[Iwasthefourthwiseman]

For me: Betty, Aurelia, Andrina and Rosa

Obadiah, Jeremiah, Cedric, Morris, Woodrow for boys

Girls names we pretty much agree on.

girls:
Mavis, Frances, Rainbow, Cecily

boys:
Otto, Tobias, Josiah, Richey

there were actually tons more, but they're the ones that I remember atm!

Marianne

Oh Marianne is lovely - in fact dp has agreed that if we ever have baby number 3 (which we won't) she can be Marianne!

Boys' names we sorted immediately.

Girls names we just COULDN"T agree on and both ended up as massive compromises.

Names I wanted and he didn't included:
Eloise
Alice
Harriet
Posey

Girls: Kitty, Margot, Bay

Boys: Kit, Atticus, Otis, Onni

Boys: Oliver (he didnt like him to say can i have some more

also lewis as hr didnt want him to get little lewy like a tolet visit. My dh is a bit of a div sometimes!

Girls: Lola - because shes a showgirl.....

Pretty much anything I like is vetoed by DH.

Though he surprises me sometimes and suggests things like 'Posy' which I love and wouldn't imagine he would in million years. Not that it's relevant - as we're having a boy.

I like the following:

Rufus
Lucien
Bendedict
Leo
Caspar

He's not keen, but did 'helpfully' suggest Graham .

Scarlet and Violet

Arabella, Amabell, Araminta, Cressida, Electra, Savannah, Stella and many, many others.

Marianne, Clarissa, Eloise, Caroline, Freya

Aurelia here too! And Tabitha and Violet.

Dismal old DH.

at Graham!

Oooh yes! Posie was one of mine too! As was Rowena and Clara.

Begged my dh to let me call dd Agatha(my fave girls name since I was 10!) but he said over his dead body!
Also vetoed-
Cecelia
Clothilde
wilhemina
Veronica

Still pine for my wee Agatha

That's nothing ShanahansRevenge, before we knew that DC3 was a boy, he actually suggested 'Yvonne'. And there was no hint of irony.

Wow, all these DPs just have no taste do they?

Love Otis, Ottilie and Sout.

DH also vetoed Camille and Celia

Lettice

Sidney for DS1. I am still about it.

Other boys names I loved but DH vetoed.

Wesley
Spencer
Lisle/Lyle
Gregory

Girls, I rather liked Ottilie but he wouldn't hear of it.

Having said that though I also vetoed some of his ideas....

Jonah
Osian
Rowan (sob!)

He likes simple, masculine boys names (quite common for Dads perhaps?), but would approve of most of my eccentric, flowery girl names...

We had a boy and luckily found a simple name we both liked :)

On the contrary Iwas - this thread suggests that men are the only thing standing in the way of their children being given some godawful names :o

Damien. Actually, I was quite intent of calling him Damien.....and the he was born on the 31st Oct

Seth. He said it reminded him of cess Pitt. Also jared

Antigone (Tiggy)

Cedric
