Ds was a Georgia until the 20 week scan! Lovely name. Fingers crossed you'll have a girl.

Just read the last posts and they are all very funny Grin

I couldn't show him the thread as he is serious about the names he has suggested Hmm

I dont want to hurt him i just need a nice name that he will go for if the baby is a boy!

I have vetoed Skeet, skip and Alice and cooper.

[cries] at Skeet

Honest to God, tears of mirth rolling down my cheeks.

But Skip would be great if it turned out to be a kangaroo. Flipper if a dolphin.

I like Alice, but not if it is naming a baby after Alice Cooper.

MollieO · 05/04/2011 09:48

I suppose you should be grateful he isn't into WWF wrestling!

sparklingsky · 05/04/2011 09:49

OK. So don't hurt him (DH) - but please please tell him that other MNers are convinced that the choices so far are like putting a 'Please hit me' sign on the poor kids back. Different culture, different expectations - not saying it's right, but other kids can be mean....

Snowdropfairy · 05/04/2011 09:50

Yes i get to pic the girls name and him the boys names. But we have 10 vetos each.

It was indeed after Alice Cooper [crying]

Also I'm Welsh and DH is English.

Try the school register approach. Write out a list of normal names and read them out including one of your dh's choices. Hopefully that may help him realise how barking his choices are. Or get him a dog he can name Skeet.

SpringHeeledJack · 05/04/2011 09:53

oh if you're Welsh you have to do Bryn

ah go on. I really like it.

ShowOfHands · 05/04/2011 09:54

Jensen Ackles is a God in human form.

No opinion on names though.

SpringHeeledJack · 05/04/2011 09:54

ps your dh sounds great.

Bratfink · 05/04/2011 09:57

Joins others in praying for a girl for snowdrop fairy

breatheslowly · 05/04/2011 10:01

Bryn it is then. I like it and you have a legitimate claim to it. Plus it isn't that odd. I am not convinced about the way you get to do the girls names and him the boys names, all it takes is for him to think up 11 odd names. How did your son end up with a normal name?

mozette · 05/04/2011 10:07

Was going to mention the sex god that is Jensen Ackles but SoH has beaten me to it.

When we first moved in together and we had a row if it was getting out of hand one of us would shout Air to the other and we would stop fighting and do something else then come back to the issue once we had calmed down.
Then we meet a little bot called Arron who know all the words to a mcfly song and he was really cool so we decided on Aaron (Air-ron). Also it means high mountian in hebrew and my DH name means Vally so it just kind of worked. George is after my Granddad.

I think its going to be Bryn as it means hill in welsh, i'm welsh so it gets that in and on one else in the family has that name and its at least reasonable and my husband likes it.

My DH liked Jensen for a boy. He's a massive F1 fan so he was thinking along the lines of Jensen Button. He also liked Harrison but wanted his middle name to be Ford - then added Mondeo for a laugh...Harrison Ford Mondeo Hmm

Beau is a bit girly though IMO.

I'd probably avoid Francis though. DH wanted Michael as a middle name for DS but I always have to think very hard before writing it as I always get the a and e at the end the wrong way round and I didn't want to be spelling my DS's name wrong every time I filled a form in. You've written Francis as Franics everytime you've mentioned it so maybe you have a similar mental block with that name?

Snowdropfairy · 05/04/2011 10:11

We like Jensen because we like Supernatural Grin

I agree Jensen ackles is fab.

DH also came up with Impalar (sp? the car) as a boys name!

Imparla Goodwin Grin

Beau girly? It's a French masculine word. Belle is feminine. How can Beau be girly. Confused

Anyway, let's talk about Jensen Ackles... no hang on, there are no words.

Snowdropfairy · 05/04/2011 10:14

Another good one is Taima for a boy as its Native American for Thunder:

Thunder Goodwin or
Taima Lightening Goodwin

As in Vlad the Impalar?

Snowdropfairy · 05/04/2011 10:15

Yes i dont mind the name for a girl but i dont like it as a boys name Sad

OP posts:
Snowdropfairy · 05/04/2011 10:16

Sorry no the car Imparla Mustang

Blatherskite · 05/04/2011 10:18

Because it's Beau-tiful I think SOH. I know it's masculine but it feels feminine to me

ShowOfHands · 05/04/2011 10:19

Call him 1967 Chevy.
