Naming DS was easy...DD was much harder.

DH liked Jessica and Samantha. I liked April, Lydia, Isabel, Laurel, Maren, Francesca, Cecelia, and Alexandra.

FakeFinn

SO thinks my preferred names are 'posh'. Recently, he likes any names I ask his opinion on, and then I mean every name (from Olympia to Godfried), I guess he's fed up with my name games
Names he considers too posh: Beatrice (weep with me please), Juliana, Hugo and many more.

Well, as I posted about earlier, my H thought that Brooklyn was a great idea.  :-& And he pretty much hates anything adventurous, "old-lady," or classic. I'm in baby name hell with him. Haha.

Names I love that he's vetoed:
Elias
Miles
Graham (I'm still wearing him down)

Charles

Alice
Catherine
Dorothy

Elisabeth (ex gf)
Emilia
Fiona
Isla

and oh so many more...

Names I vetoed that he came up with:

Harmon (He wanted to nn him "Harm." Seriously.)

Lincoln

Kate (I vetoed it as a fn, but happily compromised to put it in the mn spot.)
Brooklyn
Hensley
Olivia (I love it, but just don't love the popularity right now, so I pulled it off the short list.)

I rarely get anything good out of him, but you never know when he'll change his mind about something, (i.e. Ruby is back on the short list!)

@SadieSue82  LOL at your husband.  Hensley and Harmon seriously make me snort.  How did you keep a straight face at those suggestions.  

I thought Harmon was a joke. He was dead serious! 

He named our son Harrison, so I know he has it in him. I just told him since he named the last one, I get to name this one. If we have a boy I don't know what I'll do. I'm just out of options on boys names with him.

*Eta that it doesn't help that his last name doesn't go with anything. So many of the names I love sound awful with his last name. I've threatened to take my maiden name back. Haha.

It seems like many husbands like the 80's dated names, maybe because it is what they are familiar with?  I see Jessica, Samantha, Hailey on here and IRL I hear the same thing from my friends about their husbands.  Two of my friends husbands wanted Jennifer on their lists.  

I agree, I think it's names they grew up with or names they hear a lot.  I will say when we named DD a few males suggested Arya, Daenerys and Khaleesi lol.

I giggled a little because you love Catherine and he loves Kate, but you each dislike the other. Too bad, you could both win with Catherine nn Kate.

catahoulatte

He hates all of my boy names. Girl names we can usually be ok with. We are screwed if we ever have another boy.

He's vetoed (just off the top of my head):
Leonidas
Matthias
Matteo
Gideon
Rowan
Max

He did say he liked Sebastian, which surprised me.

emmy236

My husband sounds like all of yours. The names he has vetoed for the dumbest reasons
Girls:
Gemma (stripper name)
Lucy/Sophie (dogs names)
Genevieve/Juliet (too literaturey)
Violet (the girl from willy wonka)
Penelope NN Poppy(will only say it in a Spanish accent and like he's trying to catcall David Ortiz)
Boys:
Brooks (thinks it sounds girly)
Hugo (dog)

His choices that I said only if he's the one pushing it out:
Jennifer (his ex gf's name and it's the name of my niece)
Guinevere and Arthur from the legend (but Genevieve and Juliet aren't ok?)
Walker - he played 7 years of professional baseball as a pitcher. I still don't think gets the irony

ETA: Not really a veto but he likes a lot of NN options but doesn't like the full name but I agrees that he wouldn't want to use just a NN. Ex
Maggie/Daisy but he hates Margaret. On the fence about Magdalena and Magnolia though
Eliza/Lizzy/Birdie/Betty- he loves them all but hates Elizabeth because it's his sisters MN. However, he's cool with her FM in the MN spot- go figure
Ella/Nora - hates Eleanor.

EvolutionRevolution

He loves:

Aureliano

Alonso

Cid

Arcenio

I love:

Remy (He doesn't actually have anything against this, but says he doesn't think it's going to work out anyway)

Jack ("Boring.  Plus don't we know a Jaxon?")

Ilya ("That's too ethnic.  He'll be beat up by angry Russians!")

Rory ("But I hate Doctor Who!")

...We're just coming in from completely opposite kinds of names here!  Though today he actually suggested Tennessee (as in Williams) which I kind of like.  Tennessee Williams' actual name was Thomas, which is my SO's name, so I might try and hold out for that since I just really don't like his other suggestions at all

We were having trouble coming up and agreeing with boy names.

I liked:
Finn
Reid
Ethan
Connor

We both liked Jack ok, but no boy names jumped out at us. We agreed to worry about it after finding out the sex of the twins.

We ended up on Team Pink! Surprisingly, we have been pretty much on the same page with girl names. Isla and Claire are high on our list right now. Some of you might of seen my thread I started and some of you suggested Iris and Clara as an alternative, but he really loves the name Claire. I don't want to give up Isla right now. We still have time and we might change our minds completely!

NQueen11

Husband hates any boy name I suggest (my favorite is Leo, a nod to my Dad).  Which ones do I hate? None.  DH refuses to suggest any boy names because he "doesn't like boy names".  Well, we can't name our son Jennifer soooooo...... lets hope we have all girls?

We finally agreed on Jacob.  Only because its the one suggestion he would give me and I don't hate it.
