Levi was vetoed immediately.

And he pulled this face Hmm when I said I love Ivy. I'm still hoping to win the Ivy battle but Levi has dropped off the longlist entirely now.

My DH vetoed .....

Cooper

margewiththebluehair · 21/06/2016 11:38

My DH vetoed
Raphael
Adam
Samuel

I vetoed the names Xerxes which DH was at first adamant about. And since he was into the names of ancient Kings - I also had to veto Ozymandias
Darius
Cyrus
Cambyses
Ghengis (ok, I joked about the last one).

Elizabeth09 · 29/06/2016 23:15

Daisy
Frida
Luna
Sarah (on the basis of the surname)

Felix
Toby
Winston

I wasn't too cut up about Frida or Luna because they both go shockingly with the surname, so wouldn't been cut from the list eventually anyway.

He won't even discuss Lawrence as an option. Or Delilah, but he is Welsh, so I suppose I can forgive him for that.

LokisUnderpants · 04/07/2016 21:23

Edison, Harrison and Romeo. Think I'll LTB

Crunchymum · 05/07/2016 09:38

Jean was vetoed by my DP.

I vetoed Joanne from his list.

molzoo · 05/07/2016 09:47

Vetoed off my list was:

Mabel
Eliza
Poppy
Rosie
Martha
Tabitha

I was sad because several of those are my favourite names.

Off his list I vetoed Skye.

He vetoed Jennifer, Margaret and Isabelle from my girl list and Daniel and Samuel from my boy list.

I think I vetoed Chandler, Monica and Phoebe but we were watching Friends at the time. DS is named after one of the other characters though Smile

For some reason we didn't do the name list with DD. When we found out she was a girl at 37 weeks we just agreed on the name, though it was H's suggestion.
