DP evil veto!!!!

[NameChangedForThisQ]

What names did you ADORE but DP/DH vetoed?

I am mourning over the fact I'm not allowed to use Perdita.

Meg, Gwen, Pippa and Rafe

Nazanin
Capucine
Narcisse
Nadège

And more!!!

Callista, Clementine, Margaret

Eliza-I will never quite get over this one!
And Seth...we still have never agreed on a boys name either.

But Perdita means “the lost one”! Such a sad meaning!

Another Aubrey, for a girl. I've loved the name for so long.

Admittedly she wouldn't suit it now and I love her actual name, which has been already mentioned here.

He vetoed my (hormonal) back up, Mabel, as well.

My DD vetoed Raphael, Florian and Zephyr for DS 13 years ago. In hindsight, he had a point!

*DH

Elowen, would have suited her too 😞

I have to admit that lots of the names on this thread are awful, thank god for you’re hisbands!!!

I got Issac and Noah vetoed and I’m eternally grateful as Noah is heard everywhere I go and Issac only a close second

*your 🙄

Apollo

Jude (thinks it's "nothingy" 🙄)
Ruaridh ("too hard to spell")
Rufus ("rhymes with doofus")

Ralph. I may never forgive him. We compromised and have a Wilf instead which is a similar sound but not what I wanted.

In truth he was much quicker to veto than to make suggestions of his own which was annoying.

I also wanted Sylvia, Daphne and Ethel for our girl child but plumped for the honouring-a-grandmother name instead.

Perdita also means "discharge" in Italian OP. Maybe that will put you off.

I was not allowed to use DH's father's name (won't put on here as very unusual) but nobody would let me. HIs dad said he always hated having an unusual name and didn't want it inflicted on anyone else.

Argeles I love your taste in names
Nadiege has been a favourite of mine too

pigs DP didn't like it because it means lost

alleg DISCHARGE?!?! wow, you've put me right off. Thanks. DP will certainly be happy

Sebastian and Xanthe.

Harriet. I mean what the heck is wrong with Harriet? He said it was because of Harriet Harman. It was 1998! Nobody would have associated them now. We went for Miranda instead which is pretty good I guess.

Meredith and Cian. I am quite pleased about the Cian veto though, I've gone right off it! Still have Meredith on the list though for a future dd

Girls: Romily (Romy), Josephine, Frances
Boys: Rory, Alistair (Ali), Xavier, Zachary

:(

I love Meredith such a nice name

Tiger

As it turns out ds is most definitely a Tiger. It would have suited him down to the ground.
