Baby Names

DH reaction to my name choice

He said he'd basically give me free reign with this baby since DS is named after his grandfather (within reason). So I tell him I love Oliver for a boy. His response?

"That's olives and liver combined. You hate both those foods. How could you even consider that name?"

 

Back to the drawing board...

  • And in one fell (yet funny) swoop, your favorite name is dashed. Any foods he hates?

    LOL, this. Tell him you have decided to use Oliver as a mn instead and use the first name Brock. Brock Oliver. And see how long it takes him to figure it out. :)

  • Bizarre. Olives, fine, but liver is the last thing i think of when I think of that name. It's a great name.
  • hahaha That is funny! GL with finding a name!

  • For what its worth, I think Oliver is a great name :)
  • I like the name Oliver.
  • Yeah...DH does this exact same thing!  I liked Oliver and DH even has a grandpa with this name, but his response was "Oliver clothes off."  I liked Isabella (not a Twilight fan though) and he said "Isabella ringing?"  Boys...they are so mean!  :-)

    He'd bash the helll out of Brock before he could even make the connection. Not sure our baby will ever have a name! 

  • LOL! I love his reaction. (But I agree with you, and I think Oliver is a great name!)
  • Well, you can tell your DH that not only is my son's name Oliver, but I too hate olive's and liver, yet love him just the same, lol!
