I'm not allowed Maud or Dorothy.

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

He vetoed Robin and Rowan.

I don't remember vetoing any if his suggestions- he actually has great taste in names.

We didn't have any arguments about it though and decided quite quickly.

We get a lot of compliments on the DC's names so we must have done an ok job of it!

Final name: Carmen Iris Juliette. Wouldn't have gone for three but Iris popped into my head on first sight when she was born and he'd already okayed the other two.

I vetoed Owen

I wanted Romany for our DD. DH said no way.

I named my cross dressing buddy "Dorothy" Grin He has a black beard.

I vetoed "Tai" for our boy. My other half agreed to my favourite name, so we had a quite easy decision really!

Dh vetoed Wilbur Angry

I vetoed Percy.

Got 3 months left to come to an agreement...

I vetoed Cosmo he vetoed Zebedee. Zeb would have really worked for DS2 but all DH could think of when I said it was 'bong, time for bed'.
