What was your top name that was vetoed by DH/SO?

What name of theirs did you veto?

BlueRidge8 · January 2011

DH vetoed Brooke

I vetoed Camp (for a boy...no, seriously)

onislandtime · January 2011

My boy name that was vetoed: Garron Latham

His boy name: Hunter Jay

My girl name: Cora Noel

His girl name: Caitlin Grace

If we ever have a girl we already have a name picked out, but if we ever have another boy I'm still going to try and put Garron on the list....or at least Latham as a middle name.

ok

DH vetoed Mable. I still really love it (it's his grandmother's name) but he is dead set against it.

I vetoed Cooper (for DD). I didn't dig my kids' names being Anderson & Cooper. Yikes.

sarahbeth27 · January 2011

DH veto'd Jake and Levi. I veto'd Bruno. I'm not sure if he was serious. Smile

We haven't really veto'd or agreed on a girl name yet.

kgraceb:

BF vetoed Finley, Parker, Olivia,and a bunch of others. He did not like Rowan at first, but after we got some really good feedback on it (people pleaser!) and maybe also bc he was sick of thinking about it (i was too), he came around. he seems to really like it now. thank goodness.

I vetoed Devin. and Nala. i don't know how serious he was about Nala, but he seemed to like it for real. yikes.

He must be a Lion King fan!

waterfly · January 2011

He vetoed Eve and Neil, I vetoed a number of his, but can't remember now what they were...

scoutkate · January 2011

My name that he vetoed: Mary Eleanor (Mary Nell). I still love it but he hates double names.

His name that I vetoed: Meredith. I really like the name but I graduated from Meredith College--I'm not so gung ho over my alma mater that I'd name my kid after it.

12bailey18 · January 2011

I had Rowan (for a girl) on my top list and DH vetoed it. Any boy or unisex names for girls he vetoed. He wanted Sophia and I vetoed it because it's in the top 10. We finally agreed on Belle....that being if we have a girl!

KoalaBear103 · January 2011

He vetoed just about every name! I specifically remembering him vetoing Noah and Dylan for boys, and Elisabeth for girls. He hates almost every girl name though, so he vetoed all of them except the one he chose for any future DD we might have.

I love double names!! DH had never heard of doing that before and thinks I made it up. He vetoed all double names.

DH vetoed Beatrix, Uriah, and Ezra. I vetoed Ada (but was willing to go with Adelaide, Ada for short).

forensicmama · January 2011

We chose together, so... we had George as one of our top contenders and Martin as a middle name at one point. Both were eventually jointly vetoed. Charles David was eventually chosen as a possible boy-name. Anna was always the top name and hubby chose her middle name. Beatrice was once her middle name, but we jointly vetoed that as well.

Conor is the original spelling. Traditionally Connor is the spelling for a surname, and Conor is the spelling for a first name.

*Scuzzlebutt* · January 2011

We agreed 100% on our boy name, but girls' names are tough for us.

DH vetoed my top choice of Charlotte. I said no to his favourite, Catherine (which is a name I really DO love, but I know too many Catherines that I just don't like - I hate bad associations)

rsquaredr · January 2011

DH vetoed Vivienne. Our last name starts with a V is 10 letters long and 4 syllables.

I vetoed Tanner. It's my bff's ex.

ames71 · January 2011

Mine: Lucinda and Augustus (He's coming around to Gus though?yes!)

His: Chelsea (This may come from his love of Chelsea Handler) and Collin (nixed only because our last name starts with "Col..." - otherwise, it's a great name).

IrishBrideND · January 2011

hutch0830 · January 2011

I'm confused by your first statement. We chose together, too. but there were ideas that each of us brought to the table that the other one didn't like. Thats part of the discussion/choosing process.

JasonKristen · January 2011

My top name was Henry.

His top name was Trey.

COMomma81 · January 2011

Ugh... We are having the hardest time with girl names! He's vetoed ALL of my faves: Brynn, Tess, Maisie, MaeveI feel like I can't find anything else I love!

I vetoed: Jersey (no, seriously), Toby, Tatum, Nico.I don't really like his other names much either, but they're not as bad (Micah, Landry, Avery).As much as I would love a girl, I kinda hope we have a boy because this girl name stuff is just drama!
