My cousin is having her second boy in June, and is trying to come up with a name. She is veto-ing everything I come up with.

Any gems?

Corin or Efram.

NorktasticNinja · 21/01/2009 15:21

Maybe she just doesn't want tips/advice? Or has she asked for help?

I always veto all RL suggestions too, it has as much to with not liking a lot of the ideas as not wanting anyone in RL to know the name before the birth.

I'd be mightily annoyed if someone suggested a name I loved, especially if it was on the list already! Would not be at all happy at someone else thinking they'd named my baby!

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 21/01/2009 15:22

No, she's asked.

NorktasticNinja · 21/01/2009 15:44

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 21/01/2009 15:45

NorktasticNinja · 21/01/2009 15:47

It's Zebadiah (Zeb), how could I forget that?

LynetteScavo · 21/01/2009 15:48

Ignore me, I have a habit of spoiling the fun on baby names threads.

(But I do think buying her a book would be helpful )

belgo · 21/01/2009 15:49

No to Jaysus: sounds chavvy and made up

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 21/01/2009 15:50

Ha ha, love it. I think because I've name changed people are being quite harsh.
