Which are OK and which should be dismissed... I've lost all sense of perspective. There a couple of Hmm I reckon.

April
Emily
Rose/Rosie/Rosanna
Matilda

George
Jonah
Felix
Dorian
Ezra

Does anyone else have any slightly crazy suggestions from their DH?

I had Ethne on list for youngest 2 and he hated that but is still love it. No chance of using it now though Sad

I would lose Matilda and Dorian.

Dorian (as in scrubs) is in fact the character's surname though. Enough reason to veto, I think. I am now considering having another child in order to use the name Rolex. Or maybe we could get a guinea pig.

Felix George would be nice

and Emily is very pretty but so popular. The girls names are all normal.

TobyLerone · 24/02/2011 11:10

I think they're lovely. Emily is perhaps a little dull/common, although very pretty.

My ex-husband had 'Orion' on his list for our son.

I think you've got away lightly - my husband liked Ace and Ford for a boy

April - as long as DD was born in April. Dorian makes me think of a picture of Dorian Grey which didn't end well and Birds of a Feather. Felix is a cat to me. I wouldn't go for Ezra or Jonah either, but I have very conservative taste when it comes to boys names.

flopsy1974 · 25/02/2011 13:28

I think all the girls name choices are lovely, and I like George and Jonah from your boys list. All pretty normal names if you ask me.

MmeLindt · 25/02/2011 13:31

Oh, I am really disappointed.

I was expecting Anakin or Sky-Walker.

Not keen on Ezra or Dorian, but the other names are fine.

Emily and Mathilda are my favourites of the girls' names.

George and Jonah of the boys.

DamselInDisguise · 25/02/2011 13:34

DH suggested Ace and Slevin. And he was serious.

I really don't see what you're worrying about.

BalloonSlayer · 25/02/2011 13:36

Bad connotations for some I think:

Jonah - jinx/bringer of bad luck

Dorian - incredibly evil man/ sexually-predatory older woman

TobyLerone · 25/02/2011 13:50

I lobbied for 'Skywalker' as a middle name, but it was vetoed :(

mathanxiety · 25/02/2011 19:21

Dorian, April and Emily are pretty dire, but the rest are not bad at all.

birdofthenorth · 25/02/2011 21:48

They are all fine except Dorian, bit girly and very Dorian Grey

Kezzamo · 27/02/2011 11:36

notanumber still PMSL at your post! I good heads up on what naughty DH might try and do! I can so imagine my DH doing this and our poor baby being called something terrible!

My DH comes up with crazy names, I dutifully write them down, he forgets, and then he thinks I have come up with them and looks at me like I am mad!!! (and totally denies it!)
