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

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.

Rocket

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 ;-)
