Poll: great baby name you can't use
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Poll: great baby name you can't use
My grandma's best friend has two doxies named Nicky Wayne and Sadie Jane.
Yep. If I heard it I would think of a dog too.
I really liked the name Stella for a girl, but unfortunately I knew a young mother who was hooked on drugs and she sold her children to the fathers' parents for drug money. Sad story, but it forever made me change my mind about the name.
I'm happy with the names I've chosen...
Girl- Paisleigh
Boy- Jackson
Cooper: used it for our puppy, now we joke a great name was wasted on a dog. Anyway, turns out we are having a girl.
Along the same lines Oliver (in-laws dog)
Fallyn & Nicolette - pretty names, but same names of really mean girls at my high school and college.
Sonali & Arya (we're using Indian names because DH is Indian) LOVE the names but they are our niece's and DH's cousin's daughter's.
i was talking to sil a few months ago about baby names. they have two boys and don't know if they are going to have any more kids or not. she told me she loved the name aubrey or audrey. i said i loved the name addison. she started throwing a hissy fit because if they have any more kids and have a girl, they want to name her madison and so i can't use madison. so according to her, i can't use it. but if we ever get pregnant and have a girl, she will be addison whether sil likes it or not.
i also was getting flack from dh's family over the middle name i like for a girl. my grandma's name is rosemary. my aunt's name is rosemary. so we were (are) planning on using rose as a middle name. rose is the name of dh's aunt who was murdered and his family feels cousin (dh's aunt's daughter) should be the only one allowed to use rose as a name. again, tough luck people
I loved the names Sophia and Paisley. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to name my daughters Sophia and Paisley. Until I met my DH... He has two ex-girl friends called Sophia, his gym teacher in High School was called Paisley (he was a man!), and this girl he had a HUGE crush on was also called Paisley. The worse part is that the second Paisley, was his crush right before we met and to this day I still believe that he still liked her when we were dating...
There went my hopes on Sophia and Paisley haha
Benjamin -- DH hated it so it was off our list and my sister used it for her son
Madeleine -- DH just wasn't a fan
Kacee -- I wasn't a fan
Erin -- just because we probably won't have other kids
Avery -- ditto above
Dash -- DH again wasn't a fan
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
I really wanted Myra as a girls name but my husband nixed it saying it sounded "old". I think that's a dumb excuse seeing as he liked a couple names that were definatly grandma names (June is one that I can think of at the moment).
Makes me sad, I've liked Myra since forever and I'm not allowed to use it. I'm just glad we had a boy because we could agree on that name. xD
Husband and I are TTC and have been throwing baby names around. I worked in childcare for 5 years so there are TONS of names I refuse to use b/c of unruly children of the past....
Like the name Avery for a girl, however upon looking up meanings found out it means Elf Leader, and my father works for Keebler, so DH doesn't like it...
Always loved the name Isabella or just Belle or Bella, however DH's ex has a dog named Belle....good thing we've got plenty of time to find a girls name....
Layla: But my sister already has a niece named Layla on my BIL side and my husband's goood friend has a Layla.
Eileen: A family name on my husband's side that i like, but the poor girl would be saddle with people singing "Come on Eileen" for the rest of her life.

My fiance's best friend used the one name for a little boy a year ago, I've wanted for 10 years!
Mason...
Oh well, guess it doesn't flow well with our last name anyway.
I've always loved the name Emma but our last name starts with an M and when you say it together it sounds like you're stuttering. I also always wanted to name a little boy Elijah, but my football fan husband can't stand Eli Manning. Boo!
Well, on the flip side, my DH always planned on naming his son Sean after his brother, but of course not only is that an ex, but the most recent before I met DH. I 86ed that one right away and he was not too happy about it.
We finally decided on a boys name when I told DH that he could either work with me so we could decide on a name we BOTH like, or he was going to end up with a son named Elijah Peyton! (You see I AM a Manning fan!! Especially Peyton, go Colts!)
When I was 15 I had a friend who's neighbor named their little girl Sophie. I decided then and there that I would name my first girl Sophie. It was not a common name then.
My brother dated a girl with a daughter named Sophie and enough time had passed where it was going to be fine to use it...then last year my cousin named her daughter Sophie.
bummer
My favourite girls names were all unusable: Sydney, Piper, Jenna, Amberlee, Peighton.
Sydney is my all time favourite girls name. DH had an uncle with that name and can't see it for a girl. Piper runs a close #2, DH doesn't like it. Amberlee rhymes with our last name, Jenna is a cousin to DH (who has a very large family), and he believes Peighton sounds too much like the hate?!?!?!?
Aurelia. Love it, but DH hates it. ALAS.
Oh, well. He's still not talking me into Katie (no offense to the Katies here, I just have bad associations with the name).
Ever since I was younger I always wanted to name a daughter Paisley. (DH doesn't like it but I don't think he's completely vetoed it so I will try more convincing). I've recently fallen in love with the name Hazel for a girl and again not DH's fav.
The boy name I can't use, but love, is Westley. (HS boyfriend... DH really vetoed this one, but I wouldn't have used it anyways).
Zawakening, why don't you name your daughter Kylie? I have a cousin named that and it's really pretty and feminine.You can also call her Kyle for short.
I always wanted to name my son Peter from when I was a little kid, but that's my husband's last name. Oops. I like Henry and Theodore, too, but they were the names of my husband's rowdy alcoholic college roommates so he can't picture it. The other one I want is Alexander, but that's WAY too popular right now. We also thought about Leo, but that rhymes with our dog's name!
I'm hoping we have a girl. ;-)
