DP name suggestions that you hate

[funkt]

Mine must be:

Male:
Rufus (never liked the name)
Jonathan (personal hate 🤷‍♀️)
Marcus (reminds me of mucus)

Female:
Brianne (annoying name)
Kim (Kim Jong-Un, Kim Kardashian...)
Regina (Mean Girls)
Karen (stupid Mean Girl)
Rachel (bit plain and Rachel Green)

Blaithín was his suggestion for a girl with dc2.

He genuinely couldn’t understand why a non-Irish speaker wouldn’t think “blaw” was an attractive start to a name.

My now-ex's only girl name suggestions were all his exes' names and—as I found out later—names of women he was messaging behind my back.

His boy name suggestions were mostly after rock stars (think members of the Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Black Sabbath) and he seriously wanted to name our firstborn after Bam Margera (we're Scottish and bam is a word used to refer to an idiotic person so that would have been great fun to have as a name here.)

We had girls and went with names I liked thankfully.

@Ahundredpercentthatbitch I love Maverick

My DP has suggested Eden for a girl but I've always loved to name a boy it
He also suggested Elin for a girl and really didn't like that!

Yes, Eden is primarily a boys name, I think its too masculine sounding with the hard consonant at the end for a girl.

My DH suggested both Cadence and Brad

@HotSince82

My DP also suggested Barry at one point

Mine suggested Hades, insisting it would be fine as no-one pays attention to meanings or would know who Hades is (!). I disagreed. He stated a thread on Reddit about it to try to prove me wrong but luckily everyone there was on my side!

Francesca

I don't mind the name itself but hate Fran/Frankie which she would inevitably be called

Sharon - in 1999!!

My OH once met someone called Tallula Blue-Ray (obviously born before the blueray dvd was invented) and is insistant that's what he wants to called his little girl if we have one

My DH suggested Troy...... that’s all I need to say ( and apologies to anyone who has named there DC that)

Marcus. Which is alright and and everything, but we have a Magnus already - it's practically the same name!

The name Timothy he likes it, I don't

I wish mine suggested ANY name, instead he kept quiet and just vetoed what he didn't like

Fecking Constantine! No, I don't want a baby nicknamed Stan.

@Couchbettato yeah I've got one like that too. 😂

Jack.
Boring af

ceebeejeebies
My dad wanted to call me Zeus (pronounced zee-us grin) or blade, I'm so happy I was born a girl and given a slightly more conventional name.

You should feel happy that you weren't born this year, with the increasing numbers who want to give their female baby a unisex (male) name.

I'm sure you would have loved being Zeus

My DH didn't actually suggest anything too outrageous but we got fed up with people asking us if we had decided on a name yet so we just said that our DS will be called humphrey and DD is delilah Esmeralda tallulah. Then just watch their faces and walk away. 😂

I'm a mental health nurse who works on an acute men's ward; so loads of male names have been ruined for me by having difficult/aggressive patients with those names!
The most common names for some reason are Stephen, Jonathon, Darren, Daniel and Jason! Common names for 35+ men I guess.
So I literally have one boys name that I like, but tons of girls names as I don't work with women 😂

I see Eden as a girls name

My husband wants Thor for a boy. We're not Scandinavian and definitely cannot pull it off!

He wanted Ingrid for a girl, thank the lord DC was a boy!

My XH wanted DD to hé called Neda

DP liked Shannon and Joanne for DD

No way Jose. Both were vetoed!!

This is 20+ years ago but DH went through phases of liking Broderick, Isambard and Tobias. I could probably have lived with Tobias, so long as we didn't call him Toby which I felt was a bit too cutesy. The other two, not so much.

Oh, and he liked Lisa for a girl, which I thought was too strongly associated with our age group.
