I suggest Grace, Anna, Lydia, he suggests Yvette... I'm thinking the problem is bigger than babynaming....have you had any suggestions from DH/DP that made you choke on your cereal?

[Jackaroo]

fortunately this was idle chatter about a not-yet conceived child, so we have time to work on it....

I know somebody who is named after an ex-girlfriend of her father's.

Unbelievable really.

DH is into icelandic sagas, and was well up for Gudrun for a girl!! I vetoed that one, he vetoed my favourite boys name, Ashley. It all gets sorted in the end.

Osama!

Seriously, he's muslim, didn't see the prob...

When I was pg with the second child (turned out to be a oy so he had a lucky escape. DH wanted Ethan and I wanted Sidney. I don't think you can be much further apart than that! We settled on a third option. In act the only name we agreed on!

OMG kat!

See I believe in the mum's right to name ... you're letting your dh have far too much input on this issue

DH vetoed all my names. His suggestions were Roger and Daisy. Roger?!!

Himselfs favourite name does happen to be his exgirlfriends name. Luckily he could understand why I refused.

dh suggested Judas and he wasn't even joking either

Haha at Roger!

DH really wanted Austin for ds.

When I was pregnant and we were looking for a name for dd I liked Isobel, Anya, Matilda and Aurelia.

The only two girls names in our baby name book that dp underlined to indicate that he liked them were Demi and Blair .

Dd is not called Demi or Blair.

Dh suggested Hayley for a girl, needless to say I vetoed it.

If you veoted how about Raine? or sawyer

Dh suggested Dennis and Trevor (no lie) as boys names when ds1 (10) was on the way!!!!! OMG - I sooooooooooo got to choose names in this house. I would have thought it funny if he wasn't serious.shock He's a huge cricket fan and these are the names of well known cricketers (allegedly). Needless to say I suggested all acceptable names and he just agreed to the ones he didn't hate. The dcs all have lovely names (imho of course).

Ghislaine.

dp suggested that as ds was due around about the 200th anniversary of the battle of trafalgar (or waterloo, I forget ) he wanted to call him Horatio after Horatio Nelson.

I said no.

We had absolutely no boys names first time round- thankfully was dd, BUT Dh's suggestion was 'Gallant'

Thats not even a name!

Really wanted to call bump Thor (Scandinavian heritage & surname) but DW vetoed it, fortunately we seem to be having a girl.

Meredith

Dp suggestion Kenny, Stevie, Rafa and Kevin....He is a liverpool supporter... but still he likes "normal" names.. suggested names like Paula, Helen and Lynsey forgirls... all fine names but very 80's. They all remind me of people I went to school with.

We only had 1 name out of a whole book full that we agreed on.... we now have ds... Charlie.

Dh was well into Greek classics and wanted Hector and Cassandra when we were first dating. Then when we were sure we didn't want children we called them Oedipus and Jocasta (still with the Greek theme). When it came to it we both struggled to find names we really liked, but it wasn't because we disagreed. When I was little I wanted to have 11 children, and the youngest was going to be Zachariah!

We've generally confined mad names to pets (the next two cats will be Amos and Mr Wilkes )

Oh, his other (serious) suggestion was Ajax

have had to deflect Kai and Mitch (baby's surname to be Mitchell no less)
got to love Mitchell Mitchell.
