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

[dizzydixies]

Ellis
Lola
Dixie and Jack

DoobyDoo - are you Liv tyler?!? I loved you in Lord of the rings - you're just sooooooo pretty! like your ds' name too!

Coco - The baby I was sure would be DD2, turned out to be a surprise DS.

Verity - I may yet win this one but at the moment DH doesn't like it because mother loves it. Heheh.

dizzydixies.Maybe I amand thankyou re ds2's name.

Liv Tyler I can live with, the Tweenies - NO!

hollyhobbie I love Coco too am considering it as a shortened version for Charlotte

god am apparently considering everything for this dc - should really start another thread and stop hi-jacking this one even though I started it

dotvicky tis how dd2 got her name - we'd mostly decided on it but my mum started making noises about it so that sealed the deal for dh lol

Polly which I love but dh refused as it was the name of an ex and 'I couldn't call my daughter after someone I've shagged'. Fair point I guess!!! Good job we have boys...

Ben as with a surname beginning with T it becomes BenT....

karma but sounded too hippyish in the end

dizzydixies - my friend just had a girl and named her Coco. I think knowing that it was 'our' name (and therefore other people had considered it) meant that she dared to use it - still all those 'Coco the clown' connotations...

I'm pleased someone used the name, but couldn't help feeling a little regretful that it wasn't 'ours' anymore (if that makes sense?)

DH always wanted to spell it Cocoa though, so it's probably a good job we got a DS!

Actually mrsmacleod...The Tweenies I can live with.Liv Tyler NOOOOOOO

Liked a few boys names beginning with B (I really liked Bobby) but surname also begins with B and it would have sounded a bit 'Roy of the Rovers'

We had girls, anyway

Araminta

Dh scoffed at this name but has been my favourite for like, ever.

Robert. Lovely name but I have to work with two Roberts, one of whom is reasonableness personified but the other is a total arse so couldn't have his namesake in the house.

Dangerfield...

Agnes... love the French version, loathe the English!

Benjamin
Alexander
Tobias
Jennifer

Eve - had 3 boys!

Our favourites were Thomas and Emily- but our niece and nephew have those names, and share our surname too.

Took at loooong time to find some others we liked as much.

Agatha - don't like Aggie for short and everyone thought I was barking.
Poppy - Our surname begins with P
Matthew - I taught a child from Hell called Matthew actual alot of names got dismissed because I'd taught children with that name who were odd / perculiar

Ruby and Edith. I love them but dh said "Over my dead body". Which, looking back, sounds like an incentive.

Willow - because we have a W surname and it was too much of a mouthful.

Lily - because both DM and MIL said 'urgh' when I suggested it.

Xanthe - because I found out it meant 'golden blonde' and both dh and I are dark......odds were that dd would be dark too (and she was!). Mind you I met an 'Ebony' a few weeks ago that was as blonde as anything, so maybe I shouldn't have worried.

Millie - because my bf got there before me (although she's Emilie really)

Welsh names - as strangely my DMil didn't like any of them even tho' she is from deepest darkest Wales.

Demelza - DH wouldn't hear of it
Lydia - DH wouldn't hear of it
Eleanor - friend has one (though I could just have stopped seeing her, I really like the name)
Ariadne - because no one will be able to spell it, apparently

Had a boy in the end despite my conviction I was carrying a girl so none of them were goers.

Tried to convince DH that we could use them anyway (taking the Johnny Cash "Boy named Sue" attitude to child rearing) but he wasn't having any of that either.

Violet, but my surname is King.

My name is King too - so lots of names out fr us, including Joseph (which is the name iI really wanted to use for a boy but Joe really doesn't work!)

ROFL @ cicatrice@ boy name sue!!!
Iw as desperate to call dd2 Dylan but dh wouldn't budge, he's not said he's come round to it a bit - too farking late [humph]

Catherine, Lorna, Imogen, James, Anya - all family names

Saskia which I love is too much like DD's name. Lucy which has really really grown on me because is very close to DD's middle name.

Elizabeth because I have known 2 awful ones spoiling a lovely name for me forever
