Is DH right?

Please say no!

He won't let me put these two names on a shortlist...

Megan
Lucille / Lucy

He likes Martha, Betty, Felicity. Boys he likes Ted. I can't find any boys names I love...

I prefer your DH's taste I'm afraid Grin

Martha is a good name and stands up to adulthood.

Do you like Martha, Betty, Felicity? You have to find a name you agree on so there is no right or wrong I'm afraid. If he has vetoed Megan and Lucille then they're off.

Ted is a FABULOUS name, I like all of your DH except Felicity (know too many Flicks)

No - he's not right Grin

I like your Megan & Lucy (but not Lucille) & his Felicity (but not Martha or Betty).

Too many boys names to start listing Grin but how about Archie?

Would Ted be a name in it's own right or short for something? I do like Edward...

SoozyWoozy · 21/02/2012 21:06

My grandad was Edward, known as Ted so that's a possibility... plus my DCs have nicknamed the bump Baby Bear (named by my youngest who has SN, no idea why...) so he thinks Ted carries on from that. Ted / Teddy bear

Martha is my preference from his list, the more I say it the more I like it actually. I wanted to avoid -y -ie ending names... which is why I liked Lucille more than Lucy. I do kind of hear 'loose' though, thinking about it more... :)

Maybe if I agree to consider Martha, he'll think more about Megan LOL I don't like Betty or Felicity at all.

Boys names are so hard! I've always thought I'd use Austin as its a family name, but then Austin Powers came along...

Love all the girls names on both your list and his (except Felicity - too frilly)... don't think you can go wrong with any. Perhaps Betty should have a fullname on birth certificate - Elizabeth is very versatile. Also, what about Alice?

Not keen on Ted personally. What about Theo?

Frikadellen · 21/02/2012 21:23

yes he is right

HolyNoSheDittantBatman · 21/02/2012 21:24

Megan is nice
Lucille is awful
Lucy is fine, bit boring
Martha is very sweet
Betty is a no, but like Elizabeth
Felicity is nice

Ted is very sweet, but would use as a nn for Edward
