Names you love but partner hates...

[Bumbolina]

I love the name Daisy - DH hates it so we'll never use it

What names do you love that DP has vetoed?

[CruCru]

Pretty much all girls' names ending in a, Miriam, Hannah.

Atticus, Francis, Hugh, Johannes, Josiah, Lysander, Milo, Oscar, Sebastian.

[Charingcrossbun]

I think I'm going to be the other way around. As a teacher I can think of an 'orrible child to go with most names and so am screwing my face up at his perfectly sensible suggestions. He likes Genvieve - beautiful name but I'm dyslexic, what is baby is too? Seems cruel! (Am only 6 weeks pregnant so plenty of time to worry and argue!)

[Exhaustipated]

DH is very open minded about girls names, not so much with boys names... Hence we have a girl with v unusual name, and a boy with a very popular name. Love both though :)

Boys names he vetoed include:

Ossian
Francis
Jonah
Jesse
Rowan
Wilfred
Albert
Tobias
Raphael
Josiah
Xavier
Quentin
Laurence

[MultipleMama]

We had twins too. ID boys so picking their names were easy. I find out on 21st what gender set I'm having this time. Hate choosing girl name. I no longer like the names we chose. Typical.

[MolotovCocktail]

DH vetoed Mia for dd1. Although I love the name we gave her, I do get a little 'pang' whenever I hear Mia mentioned.

We dot have any sons but when thinking of names when I was pg, I suggested Sebastian for a boy. My usually rather liberal and open-minded DH cast that aside for being "too gay"

[AmericasTorturedBrow]

Gethin or Bryn, and Iris (apparently too "old lady" but then he suggested Martha?!)

[rundontwalk]

Monty ('too posh'), Felix ('the cat'), Asa ('advertising Standards Agency/computer spelt wrong). I'm sure there were many more!

[MsFanackerPants]

Tamar and Nora were both rejected absolutely by DP. I've vetoed Ezekiel. We have 20 weeks to agree a middle name for baby. Not finding out sex so two names to disagree on.

[luckyclucky]

He vetoed Chloe, Lydia & Cordelia,
any 1 syllable names ending in -eth (sounds like someone is lisping apparently)
& lots of boys names which were 'too biblical' but then suggested Joseph FFS

Its a miracle we found any common ground at all!

[themilkmonster]

We easily agreed on possible boys names but really struggled to find girls names we both liked. I suggested Imogen, Alice, Iris, Phoebe, to name only a few, and DH said no to them all.

[feedmewotsits]

Lara for a girl and Lawrence for a boy - both got vetoed. He suggested Jonathan - which I loathe....

[sleepingbeautiful]

Girl/Boy - so at least there was one name we could easily choose :)

[WhispersOfWickedness]

Sleeping - what did you have in the end??

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

Roxanne ("Red light").
Miranda ("Not very real world, is it").
Sophie ("Sofa").
Heidi ("Seriously?").

[sleepingbeautiful]

We had twins and kept the genders a surprise til arrival. Agreed totally on boys names and v easily made a top 6 list we both loved.
Girls names was a nightmare. He hated pretty much everything I suggested (but not much good with suggesting alternatives): Harriet, Felicity, Lydia, Annabel, Elizabeth, Laura, Flora, Anna, Merryn, Elowen, Tamsin, Zara, Zinnia, Elise, Louisa, Juliet etc etc. It was a nightmare picking a girl list.

[RaRaZ]

Juliet, Rosie, Rafe, Tom - I LOVE them and DP HATES them

[MultipleMama]

Milo, Romanus, Remus, Ceri, Oliver, Megan, Louissa, Mae... but to name a few DH hated.

[HotCrossPun]

All of the names I have suggested he doesn't like

Flora
Florance
Annabelle
Arianna
Alice
Daisy
Anabella
Lavender

He likes:

Gracie

Ah well, at least we've got 8 months to decide!

[MortifiedAdams]

DH is an awkward bugger. Likes simple short names - Jess, Jane, Kate, Nell. I suggested Jack for a boy, however, and got face. So I really dont know his taste.

I love Evelyn he hates it.
I love Lilian he hates it.

He fails to suggest any names though!

[GaiusIsAnAceName]

Gaius

[pygmy]

Ivo

[teacherlikesapples]

Isisisis - we really love Atticus as well, but not brave enough to choose it.
I also really love Orson and Malachi but both have been vetoed :(

Luckily I'm not even pregnant - so we have some time to agree on names!

[WhispersOfWickedness]

Loads!

Casper, Linus, Sebastian. Matilda, Primrose, Posy.
