Sapphire
Pearl

Notice a theme there?

Luna, Seren, Florence, Edith, Hannah, Elizabeth - all names I love but where either vetoed or don't work with our surname.

Love this thread!

Am pregnant with a girl and both Maggie and Marnie are on my radar.

I also looooove the name Stevie for a girl but am worried she will be mercilessly teased 😣

Manhowdy... We know a Stevie and she isn't teased about her name at all.

I love Monty but husband doesn't.

Arlo - I love it but it's the name of my home security system

Toby and Scott - Just dont work with DP's surname.

manhowdy

as a child my name was josephine but was often called phina as a nickname.Why not call them stephanie on the documentation and call them stevie as a cute nickname

Damaris, as said pp, and also Chloris.

Oh and Glory!

Rupert, Elton, Rocco, Llewellyn, Bernadette, Evangeline, Thirza (as a family middle name)
Either because my OH won't let me, or because i won't be having another baby !

Flynn

Paperdoll, I have a Cosmo - love the name. Work on your DP!

DS would have been Persephone if a girl, or Ophelia if DH had vetoed.

Horatio

Indira. I love it. Our surname is a verb, so giving them the initial "I" would be unfair.

Lysander
Cillian
Tadgh
Dorian

Persephone
Feodore/Feodora
Maud
Lillian

Judas, love the name it's gorgeous but Christian family on both sides said it was a no go..

Maverick

Softboiledeggs Bernard is the absolute best baby name ever

Edmund

Peony. But our surname begins with S, so she'd be Peony S.

Penis.

Anything with a V in it had to be vetoed because of our surname so no Eve, Ivy or Olive.

I love Cassius for a boy, but I just don't have the confidence to pull it off/instill in him to pull it off!

Martha
Arthur
Cormac

All the great names that have been nicked by brands....

Sierra - car
Astra - car
Avon - make up
Ariel - washing powder
Tena - joking... kinda

My DD's name has been mentioned a couple of times, and the name she'd have had, had she been a boy - Ambrose.

The name I'd love to use but DH would veto is Mungo!

My DD middle name has been mentioned a couple of times.

If I had been brave enough Balthazar would have been my choice but DH would have vetoed it he also vetoed Ezekiel.
Seraphina was my choice when pregnant with dc2 but we had ds.

I like Minnie for a little girl, but don't think I could.
