Partners' bizarre opinions

[SpecialKakapo]

Talking over baby names with OH.

According to him: Alice is "too posh" - my dirt poor great grandma was Alice so that makes no sense to me!

Lorna and Hazel (which I really like and hoped he would too) are "too not posh" - wtaf??

Anyway, just wondering if other people's partners have similar odd opinions..?

And please note - this is intended to be LIGHT-HEARTED! To any parents of Alices/Lornas/Hazels - I think your children have really nice names and my partner is bonkers!

Myfanwy is not used much.
It's not awful, but I wouldn't use it. It would become Myfanny, Miffanway, etc.

Buddug is lovely. I quite like Boudicca.

Oliver and Alice names are fairly classless. Georgiana is just too much for me .

I think of Sebastian as a bit downmarket because it has become popular fairly recently, as has Jenson. Strange that.

To be fair to him, Home and Away is one of my first thoughts on the name Ailsa.

And yet people are always on here looking for uncommon names that there won't be five others in the class. Susan and Douglas are perfect.

Dp said no to my offerings of Sebastian and Aidan as they were too posh. As was Luke.
His offering was Michael.
DS is not called Michael.

I put forward Grace for DD but apparently this was too boring and Carmen- which is apparently the name of a large smelly girl he knew at primary school- so that was a no go too.

Anna was a no-go because of Frozen.

I really like the name Susan but know too many nasty Sues.

I love the name Michael.

The looking for an uncommon name threads seem to attract names that are likely to be far from underused.

I actually really like Douglas. I have a great Uncle Douglas. All of his siblings have really Welsh names, like Llyr and Idris, except for Douglas.

Not a big fan of Susan, but Susanna is lovely.

Alice is not posh. None of the Alice's I know are even remotely posh.
Ex wanted to call DS1 Spike. DS has told me he's glad I said no

My brothers DC are Oliver, Abigail and Alice
So they are similar levels of 'posh' imo. Which means to say they are classless. Timeless. Classic.

My dh liked the name Xerxes. I said I'd change his name to it and he said that in that case, he'd need a cape. 🙄

Agree with your DP about Hazel. It's very old cockney washerwoman, like Mabel.

My DP is refusing to contribute to name ideas as we don't know the gender and he doesn't want to waste (his time? his enthusiasm? What?) on finding ones he likes in case he doesn't get to use them. Illogical and infuriating.

I more or less agree with his comments
