A quote from DH...

Its a good think we have a lot of time (since I'm not pregnant yet) because this is what I'm up against:

Me: "I really like the name Charlotte."

DH: "Charlotte???? Seriously?"

Me: "Yeah, what's wrong with Charlotte? Its beautiful and classic."

DH: "I've never even heard of that as a name! I mean, I like unique names, but not something off the wall like Charlotte."

Oh brother!

OMG!!! Is he kidding?

Ha! I guess I should be happy that my DH just says he likes everything I like. I can't get him to come up with anything on his own.

OMG that is hilarious, where did he grow up?

starsmaycollide

lol!! My DH suggested Charlotte. I have to brag, haha. I'm lucky because we like the same kinds of names.?

Yeah, unfortunatly he is serious. He is from Memphis, but apparentally he grew up in a man-filled bubble. He just says that he can only think of it as a place.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Has he never read Charlotte's Web before?

This is hilarious!  I am glad that there is someone else starting on the name hunt before they are pregnant.  DH and I are going to need all the time we can get to figure out names we agree on.

FWIW, I love the name Charlotte.

He actually did mention Charlotte's Web, and said that everyone would think we named our daughter after a pig because everyone hears Charlotte and thinks of a story about a pig.

Hehehe... I've had this same problem with DH.  He'd never heard of Emma as a name, despite the fact that it is currently the most popular girls' name out there!  Sometimes, given how much they don't know, I think men live in boxes.

Here's my conversation with DH about Charlotte.

Me: I think Charlotte is pretty. What do you think?

Him: Sounds like you said harlot. 

Me: So...you don't like then?

Him: No. I don't want my daughter's name to be misheard as "prostitute." 

 

*sigh*

Charlotte was the spider...would that help him?

If it makes you feel better, there are a ton of baby Charlotte's in the "Ham" right now. I've meet three in the last couple of months. I've always loved the name though.?

Haha! My husband and I had this exact conversation. He thinks Charlotte and harlot sound EXACTLY the same. Oh, well.

Dh actually liked Charlotte, but hates all the nicknames for it so we aren't considering it.?

My DH thinks Ava, Eva, Chase, Dylan, and Mason are just a few "crazy" names he has vetoed.
