We had decided on Sophie for a name and my OH has just told me it is an ex girlfriends name!!!! Wtf! He tried to justify it saying it was a daft under 16 relationship but I'm still raging!!

You can't call a baby Furious. How about Fumming? (Yes with that youneeq spelling!)
He knew someone once called Sophie? How fucking dare he and what a bitch. Confused

This was going to be my best day in a long while.

Boys freed from cave, (Elon Musk making a public twat of himself in the process as a bonus).

Brexiteers in disarray,

And a baby called Furious.

I’ll have to settle for two out of three. Smile

I think Furious is a bloody fantastic name! Sounds a bit like a wrestler or someone from a superhero TV show though...

I really wouldn't overthink the Sophie thing. If you like the name, use it! Your Sophie will very very quickly become the only person associated with that name in your minds after she arrives. I've only just realised when I read this thread that DS2 has the same name as a bf I had when I was 14. Never even occurred to me before today and certainly no one else has remarked on it ever. It's not like your DH's ex wife is called Sophie or something...

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 10/07/2018 14:00

It's a lovely name, are you really going to let someone from long ago blight it, how your OH must wish he had kept his mouth shut.

Musicalstatues · 10/07/2018 14:02

My eldest has the same name as my ex who I dated when I was 18/19. I don’t give it a second thought!
Our youngest has the same name as dh’s old dog!!

QueenOfMyWorld · 10/07/2018 14:07

Whar about Sofia?

BrutusMcDogface · 10/07/2018 14:12

My DH vetoed every name he had a 'relationship' with. Fuck me, I'm surprised our kid has a name...

Oh bugger I was so excited for a moment.
I was coming on to say yes yes I love it.
I had a huge crush on Furious Styles from boys in the hood. Cool guy with a cool name.

QueenoftheSilverDollar12 · 10/07/2018 14:21

How about Furia if it's a girl? 🙄

lynmilne65 · 10/07/2018 14:30

Grow up

Harrykanesrightsock · 10/07/2018 14:35

I think Furious would be Lovley as a middle name with maybe Captain as the first.

isambardo · 10/07/2018 14:46

You know it has to be Furiosa. You could name all your kids after Mad Max characters.

But the names of the actual Furies are quite beautiful. Tisiphone (avenger of murder), Megaera (the jealous) and Alecto (constant anger). All of those are cooler than Sophie.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2018 14:59

I love the name Furious.

SilverySurfer · 10/07/2018 15:19

This must be a joke. If not, it's pathetic.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 10/07/2018 15:27

Ha ha. This is ridiculous. He was a kid, it was hardly a serious and meaningful relationship.

LemonBreeland · 10/07/2018 15:34

Sophie is a really popular name. It's not like it's Princess Consuela Bananahammock and he knew someone once with that exact name.

I hope you've managed to calm down and see the funny side of your anger now.

HJL2506 · 10/07/2018 15:37

One of my sons middle name is David. My first serious boyfriend at 17 is called David and I have dated another David. I've never made the connection as it's a lovely normal family name.

LilacIris · 10/07/2018 15:43

Sophurius

Yes, please use this. Or else Sofury has a nice ring to it. Grin

BlancheM · 10/07/2018 15:44

Sofie then? Phoebe? (Sophie and Phoebe have always been similar in my mind).
I don't see why it would bother you though.

TheMerryWidow1 · 10/07/2018 15:45

jeez I thought you'd got a real problem to worry about.

OnlyBaBaBiss · 10/07/2018 15:46

Sophurious is amazing!! Do it OP do it Grin

OnlyBaBaBiss · 10/07/2018 15:47

Oh I spelled it wrong - jeez OP you can’t catch a break with this name can you 🤦🏻‍♀️

MissMoodyMoo · 10/07/2018 15:47

I'm more annoyed that we have to change the name now as I think he mentioned it to someone and they made the comment about the ex and then came and told me about the comment which made me go into a hormal raging mess lol! Back to the drawing board! Just need to push for Eilidh now😂
