We don't discuss names in a serious way yet. I'm waiting for a positive pregnancy test before that happens; otherwise, I'll wear him out very quickly.
Having said that, I think DH will never go for Allen. Allen is a family name and I love it, but it's also the name of a guy we know who is the lowest of pond scum, so DH has a crappy association with it.
Boy names: Louis, August, Theodore, Patrick, Seamus
We've stopped discussing girl names, so I can't remember what was vetoed except Lucille/Lucy.

I may be biased, but I think Allen is a great middle name for a boy...goes with a lot of different names.

I was talking about Aurora in the car one day and he goes "what a terrible name." I gave him the look of death.
I am seriously grieving Louis. I want to use it SO badly, but he's said no every time I bring it up...so I need to stop. It's hard.
ETA: William is a family name that I love, too. But I can handle not using it. But I wish he liked it, too.

I agree, and the mn is where I'd want to use it. One name that we both like for a boy is Jude, and I like Jude Allen, but I'm pretty sure DH would never go for it.
I should add that if I ever get a BFP, I'm sure I'll have a lot more to add to this list. I'll bet a lot of names I like might be some he won't go for. I don't know.

@lauralew - can you trick him into subconciously liking it and then having him suggest it to you?
Then you can act all coy, and be like...I don't know, let me think about it. Then he will beg you to use it.
Oh, I WISH. He hates Louise, too. What I need is to find an awesome person named Louis... He started to like Liam because of Liam Neeson being such a bad ass. I know if Walter wasn't a family name for him he probably wouldn't like it...

OMG my DH hates most of the names Ive suggested. We actually considered not being team green because we have a boys name settled but are having issues with girls names.
I always loved Mallory, but he hates it. I'm OK with that, though, because there are about 4 or 5 girl names that we both like.
My sister made her daughter's middle name the same as mine, and I was so honored that I wanted to do the same for her if I ever had a little girl. But, her mn is Dawn, and MH has a horrible association with the name and refuses.
For a boy, I love love love Rhys. He hates hates hates it.

@Idani I'm sorry about Lorenzo! That's our agreed upon boy's name should we ever have a son. DH vetoed my favorite girl's name, Clara. But I vetoed his boy's name, Diego. I also liked Ariel for a boy but he said people would think he's a girl because it's a girl's name in English.
We actually have very similar taste in names thankfully. I love Lucian and he thinks it's ok, but not enough to use it. He also doesn't care for Rhett Soren Atticus
Calliope!! I love that name, but it reminds him of Caillou (which happens to be the most annoying fictional charectar on the face of the planet, thank you PBS)
Boy names, that I haven't gotten an opportunity to use anyway, include Jesse, Ignatius and Thaddeus
I really love Celeste as a first name. He was absolutely against it, but luckily for our little lady she ended up with it as a middle name. Sarah was another FN I absolutely love.
For boys, it was almost all names I liked. Titus, Roman, Henry, Atticus.
