DH vetoed most of mine, but the ones I'm most upset about are Eleanor and Anna.

Tabitha
Topaz (ok, maybe fair enough Grin)
Eden

Bastard DH. We did end up with a clutch of nice names for our DCs in the end!

Persis Angry
Farrah
Britt

I had twin girls, they have 2 names each. Would it have KILLED him to allow one tiny Persis?!?

On the other side of this I vetoed Brian and Clive from my husband's choices. He wasn't joking. He really wasn't. Only ten years ago too.

DameDaffodil · 12/02/2018 06:39

Maggie. She'd have been a great Maggie! I gave the name to my kitten instead...until it turned out to be a boy...foiled again!

Lennythelion14 · 12/02/2018 06:40

Iris, devlin, mary-anna, theresa,terry, Florence and sunny are some he vetoed.I vetoed some his choices too. Bethany, Chloe,Chantelle (spelt like that), archer and colt were some i vetoed.we both had very different tastes in names. We did find some we both liked in the end. Grin

pigshavecurlytails · 12/02/2018 06:40

A friend of mine has a Perdita. Personally the name will always be the Mum dalmation in 101 Dalmations - was that why it was vetoed?

Hobbitch · 12/02/2018 06:45

Victor. And I'm still upset, even though our baby turned out to be a girl!

Zoe, Erin, Charlotte
