If it was only your decision, what would your babies names be?

[heyytheredelilah]

Inspired by another post about mums should have more say in naming their baby… if it was down to you alone to make that choice what would their names be?
my partner vetoed all the names I wanted for my 4 children. He said I was naming future adults not pets….
I wanted Rocco, Rio, Meadow and Dolly.
I Really had to compromise… we have Theodore, Joseph, Charlotte and Vivienne.
I have always called them Teddy, Joey, Lottie and Vivi.
The boys are now teens and like to be known as Theo and Joe.
Lottie never uses her full name. Vivi is only 3 so time will tell.

I named my cats meadow and dolly 😐😬

Gabriel, Beatrix, Imogen, Jago, Linnet and Sebastian.

So far I have been winning on the names.

I did want Clover but that was too twee apparently.

I wanted Nicholas for DS but DH didn’t like it. I prefer the name we chose together now, it’s funny how things work out.

[ReformedWaywardTeen]

One would be Holly, the other I was between Jack and Alfie. DH hated all of them.

[Angelicapickles1]

I wanted Clementine for DD and Fitzwilliam for DS. Both were vetoed straight off.

[OhBeAFineGuyKissMe]

Elinor Gray for a girl
Kip Stirling for a boy

Not going to have any more kids but these are the names I would have if I did and my DH didn’t get a say.

Is it linnet as in from green knowe?

[pastypirate]

I named my dds on my own anyway. I have no regrets.

I shan't have another but if I did I really like Bronwyn shortened to Ronnie. And yes I am Welsh.

[MrsTerryPratchett]

If DD was a boy she'd have been Joe. ExBF's name so not an option!

[FredGarland]

Eden and Alexander.
Eden was a straight no, Alexander is a cousin he never sees.

It worked both ways though - he really wanted Edmund. I could only see Blackadder and the annoying Narnia kid for that!

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Meant to say DH had no say in DD's actual name.

[MajorCarolDanvers]

I wanted Kirsten and Michael.

Didn't get either but happy with our compromises.

[Simonjt]

Ishmael for a boy, I was able to choose our daughters name, so I won’t be revealing that.

[SkylightSkylight]

Katie, Daisy, Nate & Broady.

I'm going to need to have more dogs!

[KirstenBlest]

@pastypirate , please spell it Bronwen. The -wyn ending is masculine.

[ElizaSkye]

Vetoed names included-

Jonah
Sebastian
Winter
Harrison

[tunthebloodyalarmoff]

Twin girls sammy joe and Bobby joe
Hubby would let me !

[KitchenSupper]

Valerie and Francis
Or maybe Vivian and Christopher

[TheGriffle]

I’d have a Veda if I had my own way.

[Notepadfrog]

Aiden, Alexander, Caleb, Taylor.

[MoominPants]

Alba
Tia
Toby
Leo

I like short names!

[lochmaree]

My vetoed names were:

Elspeth
Anastasia
Marianne

Harris
Calum

[Xtraincome]

Fav names for my 2 DDs: Lavender, Kizzy,

If I had boys: Memphis, Theolonious, Tennessee, Forest

[Taxiparent]

Roman for my DD and Jed for my DS. Vetoed due to connections with Mr Bean for Rowan, Jed was just no….

[Hermione101]

Mark or Bruce, Dagmar, Betty or Olga, all vetoed.

[bluechameleon]

DS1 would have been James. DS2 might have been Reuben, but I wasn't 100% on that one so wasn't that bothered when DH vetoed. Both of them ended up with names which had been very high on my lists so I don't feel like I missed out. If either had been a girl it would have been harder, our lists for girls were very different in style.
