Noun names

Everyone I speak to thinks I’m crazy and it’s the hormones but I have always loved noun and verb names. The surname is very common and so I’ve always wanted their forename to stand out.

I love Rocket but DH has said I am mad. Other names I love are Tiger and Canon.

Please can I have any more suggestions of noun names that won’t make my DH think I’ve lost the plot

I'm with your DH OP but if you insist how about
Cup
Saucer
Saucepan
Grill
Blender

I suppose you could go for a name that's a bit like Canon but isn't quite so erm, eccentric.

Rocket is Glaswegian slang for an idiot. I hope your DH has unlimited vetos on baby names.

Just going on similar themes to the three you gave, how about :

Rocket
Launchpad
Payload
Astro(naut?)

Horse
Slug

This is the best thread.

I actually love Bookcase and Duvet. Just sorry I won’t be having more kids and can’t use them.

Maybe I could be an overbearing mother in law in a few years and push for these ;-)
