names you would love to use but can't, for whatever reason

[dizzydixies]

Ellis
Lola
Dixie and Jack

sprogger Corin was our boys choice for first dc but she and her sister both popped out pink so couldn't use it either!
well Corin was my choice and Caleb was his lol

katyjo I started another thread which has some great names on it too - will do a link

names nearly used

My husband?s surname is Italian and is difficult to match with any name so pretty much any English name is out. But names I would never use is Brigette or Dorothy because of girls I knew in high school and John or Tom because they are so boring.

Alfred - best friends want it for their first if its a boy.

We settled on Archie and he is such a cheeky one who so matches his name.

Archie must better imo

Felix. Ex's wife has a Felix. Would be weird.

Beth - would leave girl with initial BJ and I just can't...

Genivieve (sp) - would shorten to Jenny and that is MIL!

Imogen - again could become Jenny.

Zoe - gave it to one of our cats instead

Evie, Eve or even Eva but DS is called Adam so that would be asking for trouble

Could not have a Jack - name of DH's parents' dog and a v famous celebrity from the past

Many names that DH has vetoed.

Also couldn;t have a 'Dick' - not that I particularly want one.....

A question actually...
Actually I will start a new thread

patience is fave girls name but our surname is dear -- bit too michael winner

Connor - our freinds stole it!
Shaun - dp hated it
Lucy - we had a boy

Hunter - because i'm a geordie so would say Hunta and you really should be able to pronounce your own sons name.

PMSL at patience dear

Bartholomew and Montgomery
and Jesse

DS2 was very nearly Jesse.

DD was almost Emory Kate. Considered Jane but couldn't come up with a middle name.

I wanted to call my ds3 Ben(jamin) after my brother and my grandad, but dh refused........

turns out he has a half brother called that, from when his dad had an affair with mil's sister !

now thats a whole other thread

Lots of names because DH is a teacher and they have bad associations for him. Drives me mad every time!

I love Hilary and Valerie for girls but they sound ridiculous with our surname. I tried to convince DH on account of the fact she could change her surname when she got married

Laurence, Rory, Henry, Elliot, Otis, Felix, Edith and Frida - already taken by friends and family

Curtis - DH's boss's surname

Milo - think a celeb baby has this but might still be in the running for DS2

Wolfgang or Wolf - my absolute favourite for DS1 but DH hated

Anna - surname begins with N so doesn't sound right.

Clover - margarine issues.

mrsmacleod - you need to not be so popular

milo is liv tylers son and also one of the tweenies I think?

Milo is also my son
