Names you love but won’t be using...

[MrsFoxPlus4]

Thought this would be interesting.

Girl - Bernadine - friends grans name, love it we call her Berdie.
Boy - Mac - cousins son.

Alba is lovely I had a neighbour called Alma once she was great!

Ptolemy
Rheneas
Kirby

We won’t be having any more but I do love these names!

Bertie - although I love it I wouldn't use it as a birth certificate name and am not keen on Albert or Bertrand although might go for Bertram at a push
Linnet- mangled by Essex accent

Elsie
Elise
Eliza
Charlotte (known as Lottie or Charlie)
Ivy
Eve

Arlo
Albie
Ezra
Jude

Anastasia and Katerina are my all time favourites.

Jemima or Clemence and Rupert or Hugo. Won't be having anymore DC so no opportunity to use the names.

Mordecai. Love the way it sounds, bit much to land on a small child.

Lina. (Would’ve been my choice for DD2 but couldn’t convince DH.)

I really wanted an Anouk. Eggs gone off now, no chance 😂

@Mrsknackered - Meg is also short for Margaret?

Bridie Mabel Marnie

All overruled by more conventional dp

Nina - couldn't use for dd as it was v close to how our police car obsessed ds was describing his favourite toy at eh time and would have been too confusing!

Lila - loved this from age 11 but was beaten to it by kate Moss

Jake - the 'k' runs into our surname so it would sound like Jay.....

I love Wilfred but DP hates it :(

Just out of interest- why can't you use your friends grans name? I'd use it if that's the only reason- unless you're very close to her?

Matthew - husband vetoed it

Susannah
Marianne
Vita
Faith
Tabitha

Zachary
Jacob
Gabriel
Linus

No more babies in this house, so these are all up for grabs!

Jean-Baptiste.

Veto'ed by Dh as we are not French or religious.

Non-pregnant me now admits he had a point

I used my best friend's dad's name for DS (asked her first in case she planned to use it). She was delighted, as was he.

Jasper because I have a cousin. Aubrey because I would really like to call a girl Audrey. And Clancy i think I can't use as then I would have three children's names ending in eee sound which feels a bit much (and is also assuming I get my Audrey)

Summer shes my best friend and has always said if she has a girl she’ll name her Bernadine.

Dominic - but surname begins with D so not possible.

Margot and Madison :) lovely names but I don't think I can use them as they don't sound good with my last name.

Peregrine

DH though I was insane to suggest it

Laurel- We first heard it on How To Get Away With Murder and loved it. Then I thought of Laurel and Hardy and it's just not the same. Such a shame because I love it!
Heidi- Loved it until a local dog with the same name went missing. Now it's all I can think about when I hear/ read it.
Olivia NN Livvy- There was a very skanky girl at Uni called Liv, so DH won't consider it
Hannah- Same as above.
Luna- I don't think we're cool enough to pull it off

Quinn- I love it but OH hates it.
Oscar- OH thinks it's too pretentious.
Kieran- I love it but just don't think it's "us"
Aaron- Again, I love it but all the Aarons I've met have been arseholes- considering Arren though.
Elliot- Same name as a boy I went to school with who used to get his willy out in class...

I also love Maddison for a girl and Jenson for a boy but our surname begins with S and ends with Son so it would be way too Ess'y and I also have a slight lisp so not the best.

Victor, Hector, Wilfred, Seth and the girls name Meredith. Have the one DS and very lucky to have him, so no more. Plus the DH would never agree to any of those names 😣
