Names that were (or are) vetoed

[ymmv]

I'm not allowed Maud or Dorothy.

What names do you love that your partner (or mum etc) wouldn't go for?

Lev / Leonard. Jacob. How we're supposed to find a Russian Jewish name that also works in south London is beyond me at this point. He had better be a she.

DH vetoed Cary as in Grant - still think it would have been a great name but we've got two DDs so pretty irrelevant really!

I vetoed Jessica - I had hyperemisis and all I could hear was the word "sick" in the middle.

The "sick" part is what I hate about Jessica too. Have no issue with just Jessie, for example!

I wanted Hugo or Rupert but DH vetoed them both.

Alice , Tessa & Nancy were all a no from exh
He wanted poppy which i said no to because it seemed like every other child at that time was called poppy

I vetoed Cooper. We have a double barrelled surname and their full name would have just sounded like a list of surnames, like someone calling the register.

DH vetoed most of my boy names.
Xavier
Sebastian
Rory
Max
Leo
Samuel

And we jointly vetoed family tradition of naming our first born boy after his paternal grandfather, just couldn't imagine a baby with such a grown up name.

He vetoed Belle and Bella, Phoebe and Lily. He's a right git sometimes.

I vetoed Siobhan and Keira and loads of others that I think he was just trying his luck with. Can't remember them though obviously, absolute baby brain.

We don't know what we're having either, but EVERYONE seems to think it's a girl so we're kinda concentrating on girls names which could backfire!!

Hubby vetoed my suggestions of Dominic and Sophie.

I vetoed his suggestions of Zebedee (he really wanted to use the nickname Zeb!) and Naomi.

DH vetoed Edward and Samuel, of all names. It's not like they are particularly out there. I vetoed Andrew. I just wasn't feeling it. And Prentice. I mean, what?

DH veto'd Harmony and Rupert.

I veto'd floral names and anything from the top 100 as I teach and would be seeing far to many of them!!!

I liked:
Milo
Ethan
Clement (would really suit our ds1 too!)
Eoghan
Darragh

I vetoed:
Charlie - too cute

Nicae you've reminded me, I liked Cary too! I was watching the Good Wife at the time!

He vetoed Lillith (ok so she's mother of all demons, so what!), Gideon, Iziah, Ezekiel

I vetoed Septimus

Lillith... you obviously didn't watch Frasier! (Yes I have a lot of US Tv associations for names! (

DH has vetoed...

Susannah
Louisa
Miriam
Martha
Esther
Agnes
Rosamund
Rosa
Cecilia
Genevieve
Jemima
Kezia
Matilda
Marina
Tabitha
Vivien

Luckily we have similar taste in boys names!

Mine vetoed Lois due to Superman and Family Guy and I vetoed Morven which reminded me of mourning for some reason. We fought hard over boys names and then my dad died and OH said that my dad's real first name (which he didn't use) was cool so that was it. He also initially vetoed the name we gave our dd!

mikado I have occasionally but I'm a big supernatural fan hence the lillith origin haha

He vetoed Jean-baptiste, Reuben and Astrid.

I think he was probably right re Jean Baptiste as we are (1) not French and (2) atheists.

DH vetoed Freya, Kezia, Susannah, Clementine

I vetoed Tamara, Lara, Martha, Sarah, Mary

Actually think his names were loads nicer than mine, none of which I like any more apart from Susannah, which (annoyingly) he now really likes!

DH vetoed Cuthbert
I vetoed Horatio

he vetoed Greta :( still sad about it! i vetoed Branwen but actually it's grown on me now! (boyfriend is welsh and it sounds much nicer in a welsh accent)

I tried very hard to get DH on board with Lina, but he was having none of it. Still think it would have suited DD2 really well...

Tempest (too odd)
Robyn (don't know why)
Faye (he dated one)
Edie (he said it made him think EDF energy, the idiot)
Flora (made him think of butter, sigh)
