Where did I go wrong.

oneblessedmess · May 2014

Yesterday my husband out of the blue said "Peyton is a nice name for a boy or girl. Of course you would have to spell it P-A-Y-T-O-N for a girl. Or maybe P-E-I-G-H-T-O-N-"

Meanwhile I'm sitting there like

Clearly I have failed. Luckily our actual short list of names has nothing similar to Peighton on it... Anyone else's SO ever suggested a name that you just automatically had to veto?

Harlequinn is what he thinks we should use this time.

BKD1386 · May 2014

My husband suggested Elvis. And Duane. umm... no LOL

Manderlin923 · May 2014

Feneken. For a girl.

anna&nicholas · May 2014

Madison, Alexis, Taylor were his first name suggestions. Middle name ideas of Lynn, Marie or Ann. Really??

mh89 · May 2014

Grounds for a divorce, I say.

Dr.Loretta · May 2014

Thankfully the "worst" name he came up with was Brenna for a girl. I can live with that

plunderb · May 2014

I said no to Charles Darwin.

CiderWench · May 2014

Mine suggested Sagan for this baby. I'll probably let him have his way . . . as the middle name only, though.

vjdk07 · May 2014

For a girl Lilu and he wasn't joking. It's from the movie The Fifth Element.

ThereBeDragons · May 2014

Valkyrie. He was seriously hung up on Valkyrie for a girl.

Luckily the only me DH suggested this time was Madison NN Maddie. Not awful just...meh.

When we were naming DD, he had Digby on his boy list. Um....

Oh and Dagny for a girl, which a GP part of me actually likes. Haha!

mkbland · May 2014

Mine suggested Magdalene which I liked. But he insisted on spelling it Magdalyn so I had to veto which was unfortunate.

lauralew · May 2014

He hasn't suggested anything crazy. Though he keeps suggesting Clark, and then laughing. Because he wants to be able to say "That there is an RV, Clark."

evaazalea · May 2014

Caitlin, fine, but his newest neice was just named Katelynn, he forgot.

NatureLovers · May 2014

I hate the name Peyton, regardless of spelling. I'm hispanic and the spanish word for "fart" is "peo", pronounced "peyo". So I automatically think fart when I see that name.

Zimger · May 2014

My DH typically has good taste. However he did suggest Gunner and Duke. I told him we could get a puppy someday.

Fluffycakes · May 2014

Marylou, Dh met a 60 year old woman with the name and thought it was cute and girly.

poppins123 · May 2014

My DH has very eclectic taste - one minute will suggest very 80's names (Rachel, Melissa, Nicole) then something very Spanish sounding (Juan Martin).

Thankfully we agree on a few good ones!

Jags8 · May 2014

DH liked Lumen (heard it from Dexter). That was a big fat NO from me.

Calla123 · May 2014

Too funny! My husband wanted to name a boy Gordon....which isn't a terrible name but he chose it so he could use the nickname "squash" because he would be gord....don't even ask. I'm so glad we have two girls

Pink&Red · May 2014

Mine suggested Tyrone and Crystal. NO.

FakeFinn · May 2014

Zlatan and some other names of footballers (first names though, that's the good part).

thegoodpotato · May 2014

My husband is into really, really girly names. Lucy, Emily, Emma, Ellie.... Not bad names, but they are completely and utterly NMS. But I had a couple he vetoed too, so I guess we're even.

Elvis was on DH's short list for DS. I'm still not certain if he was kidding.

CJ12211 · May 2014

Aragorn, although he was joking.

mh89 · May 2014

Whenever I'd suggest names that DH thought were too weird (like Hermione as a middle name, Cedric, Alistair, Ariadne, etc) he'd suggest ridiculous things in response like Saranwrap or Velociraptor.

When we were talking about names for DD1, I brought up Walter. His alternative: Wallaby "Wally."

Love Walter, and I like Wally as a NN, but sweet fancy Moses, Walaby?

"I'm going to see a man about a wallaby."

rae76 · May 2014

DH hasn't brought up a name that I just hate, however, the one girl name I loved for our son (we were team green for him) he absolutely vetoed. Fast forward 5 years and now he thinks he likes it if we have a girl this time. I asked him how he could change his mind on a name that he absolutely hated...his response? "I used to hate guacamole too, but I eat it now." Oi vey!

LadyXaverian · May 2014

Nothing outrageous, but when I suggested Genevieve, he countered with Jennifer. Then he suggested that I didn't like the name Jennifer because it is too "old fashioned".
