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.

Daisy is a cow's name and Aurora, with Rory as a nickname, is too out there. We are back to the drawings board with 8 weeks to go at the moment.

tobias and noah

Isla and Rowan i bloody love Rowan he sadly vettoed it twice.we agreed on boys names but no boys came

I wanted Jimmy! It was vetoed on the grounds that he thought it sounded like a Martina Cole character.

I love the name Silver but DH thinks it is too hippyish. Only 8 weeks pg so I still have time to work on him (if it's a girl)

Florence 😢

Adelaide
Francesca
Genevieve
Cadence

DW vetoed Flora, Rowan, Carey, Valerie, Vivian, Ariel, Ismay, Audrey. I'm putting them on the list for next time though, just in case.
We did finally find something we both loved, though.

Hamish. We agreed on a name we both love (and so does DS) but I've filled DS in on the backstory and he lets me call him Hamish sometimes

Perfectly reasonable suggestions vetoed by DH with reasons :
Anna (boring)
Elizabeth (too queenie)
Rowan/Robin (didn't like unisex names)
Verity, Bryony (just didn't like)

I vetoed his only suggestion of Charlotte

We eventually found a name we agreed on for DD at 2 days old using an app!

Matilda and Frankie 😭

Gabriel and Daphne. Particulary sad about Gabriel, as I absolutely love it.

"Perdita."

Your DP is a smart man.

Before we knew gender my husband vetoed Lily because he thought it sounded too much like his sister's name and Logan because he thought I chose it because I love X-Men comic books. Which isn't why I wanted it but whatev.

Rowena. I'm still bitter.

Willow. Because it's "a shit film and a stupid tree". Bastard.
We ended up with Evie instead. Which is pretty but every time I shout her 15 kids turn round cos they're all called Evie.
Wouldn't have happened if she'd been Willow I tell you!

Globetrotter I love your post and your accommodating DS!

DH vetoed Sol which I loved. Ironically my now 18 year old not-Sol is often found drinking Sol.

Same coffee!
I love the name Gabriel, dh suggested Robert. How far far away we were
Also vetoed were Xavier, Fabian and Kit.

My DH vetoed Michael on the grounds of that it really wasn't a name I would have ever suggested if pregnancy hormones weren't sending me conflicting messages. He may have had a point.

So many - Rory, Dominic, Julian, Sebastian, "anything Biblical" .

From his list I vetoed Donald (pre-Trump presidency but stil...) and Stirling. He has shit taste in names.

DS ended up with a nice name that has been mentioned a couple of times here tho.

Sophie, Helen/Helena, Ophelia, Edith.
His only suggestion was Annabelle which I vetoed immediately. We will never find a girls name.

Douglas
Raphael (which I was obsessed with for 6 months!)
Clover
Danielle
Tessa

Sebastian
Basil
Aida
Alannah

I had 3 boys names. Tobias, Sebastian and Declan.

He wouldn't consider any. I told him (may have been hormonal) that I loved Tobias the best and of he said no to Tobias I would ltb.

He compromised with Sebastian.

DH vetoed "anything biblical" for DS2. So he said no to Joshua, Samuel, Jonah (which he totally suited, grrr), Joel and Elijah.

He then went on to suggest Benjamin, Thomas, Nathan, Ethan and Aaron. I didn't tell him those were biblical too.

DS2 is Adam....

My ExDH vetoed Caitlin and with hindsight I'm glad he did as it didn't stand the test of time for me. I vetoed Asa but don't mind the name at all now.
Perdita always makes me think of perdition and I can't get past that, so sorry OP I agree with your DP/DH.
