DH's outside the box list...

hollyberry3333 · January 2011

Last night I asked my DH to make a list of some names that he liked and he certainly did. He came up with a few different names for sure. Just thought I would share, may give you a little giggle

Boys:

Slade (eeeww)

Blake

Chase

Baxter or Baxton (bleh)

Leland

Vipen (yeah.um.no)

Girls:

Lilac

Violet ( with this and Lilac, I think he likes purple) Love the name Violet tho!!

Lacey

Viola (lol, really?)

Phoenix with the nn Nix ( I must admit, I kind of like this one even though it goes against my style)

Dakota

I love Leland

I like Chase Violet and Viola

I HATE Phoenix. Have you ever been there? Awful.

sugarpumpkin716 · January 2011

I like Blake and Chase. The others...not so much. Violet is pretty but everyone seems to want it! Lacey is cute and I like Dakota a lot.

krissyh21 · January 2011

In order I like Chase and Blake, then all others are tied for last.

For girls, I like Violet and Lacey (although my neighbors dog is Lacy, so hard to hear for a real name now).

Boys:

Slade - Hahahhaa! Big no. lol

Blake - I'll never like this name.

Chase - It's OK, but I don't like it.

Baxter or Baxton - Baxter is nice. Baxton is yuck.

Leland - That's interesting. NMS, but it's a nice name.

Vipen - Laugh-Out-Loud!

Girls:

Lilac - Like. It's a nice name.

Violet - LOVE!

Lacey - Stripper.

Viola - This was a relative's name of mine. I tend to like it, but it reminds me too much of the instrument to ever use it.

Phoenix with the nn Nix - Nix is a headlice medication, so I'm gonna say no to the nickname. Phoenix is actually NMS, but I'd prefer it on a boy.

Dakota - Yuck.

Slade? Vipen? Ick!

All I can picture are monster trucks!

EXL311 · January 2011

I was going to say I actually like the name Phoenix but I didn't realize you have it listed for a girl. I would say definitely boy. I live in the Phoenix area and I love it so I have a good association. I do like Chase and Violet and Viola isn't bad.

calhoun53009 · January 2011

I love Violet... it was my grandmother's name though so I'm a little biased Smile

Fergie+1 · January 2011

I don't like any of the boy names... see if you can try and get your DH to agree to Phoenix as a boy's name, maybe? Violet's pretty, though.

I agree with all of this EXACTLY, except I did not know that Nix was a lice medicine lol ewww.

Oh wow! Slade is pretty bad (has he ever watched Real Housewives of OC?). Baxter is totally a dogs name and Baxton is way out there! Leland reminds me of Dog the Bounty Hunter's kid with the wicked pony tail and shaved side hair. Where did he even come up with Vipen? Some of these made me lol. Blake and Chase are decent though.

I do like Violet, but the other girl names are NMS - especially Phoenix and Dakota.

you should ask him if he likes the name Lavender.

Big Smile hehe I am sure he will have me add that one to his list.

Leland or Violet would work. Phoenix and Dakota and Viper made me throw up in my mouth a little.

bobmonkey · January 2011

While I know that Phoenix is a place name, my thoughts immediately go to the mythical creature. It does absolutely nothing for me and I think saddling a kid with it is just too much.

Violet is nice, and the rest--people try way too hard sometimes.

And I apologize for my last comment--I got this post confused with the classmates list above it.

I absolutely agree with that! His list was all in fun for the most part, we would never use any of those names. Some for obvious reasons Stick out tongue

I agree with all of this. I do hope his list is "all in fun", because DAMN it's bad!!!

Lace815 · January 2011

For those that consider Lacey to be a stripper name - I don't want to sound defensive, but my name is Laci and I'm not a stripper...I'm actually an educated, family oriented person - far from a stripper! I have met a few other Laceys in my time and not one of them was a stripper or promiscuous... LOL. Personally I like my name a lot and i find it feminine, not stripper-y. Am I missing something? Is there a stripper with the name Lacey that I have never heard of? JW bc I've heard this comment about the name before on this board.

I know everyone's entitled to their opinion but my opinion is that it's kind of unfair that negative stereotypes are put on names.

So as far as the name Lacey, I like I also love Lilac and Violet for girls and Blake and Chase for boys.

pazrana · January 2011

I vote Lacey (because that's my name!). My DH wants Tyberius as a boy name. Really?

babyonthebrain2010 · January 2011

omigosh if you had twins they could be Vipen and Viola!! so cute hahaha

My DH's grandfather's name was Tiberius... so we might be using it as a MN. But not with a y. That just looks weird to me. And I wouldn't use it if it wasn't a family name.

I like Lacy an Violet. I know a guy named Slade and I like him, but I've always disliked his name.
