  • Josephine. Gah. I love it. And Lia (my great grandma). So far we have settled on Norah--but she has no middle name.
  • Adeline ( I got over it)
    Johannes ( I'm still getting over it)
  • Adeline ( I got over it)

    Johannes ( I'm still getting over it)
    Norah Adeline might work....
    :))
  • Wesley. I just love this name and the nn Wes.

    Gabriel. DH agreed to it as this little guy!s middle name, but he could not get behind it as the first name. Rather than lose the name all together, I agreed to another first name.

  • Nehemiah, Jude
  • James: My DH is being a real jerk on this one. It's a great name! He agrees with John but not James. Whatever.

    Mary: DH says it's boring and thinks that having a possible DD with the name Elizabeth as her sister is too much. This one is my fault. I mentioned it would be cool to have Elizabeth and Mary, like the opposing queens. He was immediately turned off.

    EDD for #1: 3/19/17

  • Lucy for me too! I love that name. He says it's because our friend's cousin's one eyed Great Dane is named that. Also;
    Sophie
    Georgiana
    Violet
    Felicity
  • DH vetoed Charlotte. It has been a favorite of mine since high school. It still makes me sad that I won't get to use it if we have a girl.
  • Charlotte for me too. Also Madeleine and Rosaline.
  • Zoë (I love/d it; DH never did)

    Todd
    Parker

    Rocco and Carmine are the two I am still angry about.


    Edit:  Oh and Crispin which I admit is silly to use with our heritage and last name but I still love it.  


  • My DH vetoed Evelyn. Sigh. The search continues for a name we can agree on.
  • Ira (not over it yet)
    Dexter (he has a friend)
    Beatrice (I really thought he'd like this one)

  • Magnolia and Bernard (Ben or Bernie).

    We have a really tough time agreeing. DH really likes more trendy names and I tend to lean more toward classic, or at least more common names. A few he vetoed of mine
    Caleb
    Eli
    Joel
    Audrey / Aubrey
    Colette

    I vetoed these suggestions from him:
    Devon
    Quinn (girl)
    Jackson
    Reese (girl)
    Alek
    August
    Kylie 
  • Naomi. I have loved that name for years. He didn't exactly veto it but it was pretty obvious he didn't like it so I scrapped it.

  • Genevieve.   I fought tooth and nail for this name with DD#1, and tried fighting for it again this time around.  He still hates it.

    Esther (although I'm apparently the only person on the planet who loves this name)

    David - he apparently hates it so much he wouldn't even agree to I as a middle name.  Who hates David?

  • Genevieve.   I fought tooth and nail for this name with DD#1, and tried fighting for it again this time around.  He still hates it.

    Esther (although I'm apparently the only person on the planet who loves this name)

    David - he apparently hates it so much he wouldn't even agree to I as a middle name.  Who hates David?

    My H and BIL both have a David in their group of friends that's "That Guy" maybe it's the same for your H?

    Alice: He has an Aunt Alice that he can't stand. He can't even say the name without sounding annoyed.

    Boys:

    Blake: He said it sounded like someone who was annoying.

    Hugo: to far out there for our area.

    Malachi: Children of the Corn

    Orion: Are we naming a puppy? (This is the same man that pitched Duke as a name).

    Jacob: Boring

  • Clementine (I think it is the cutest)

    Gloria (for my grandmother)

    Violet (we have twins and one of them is marigold so he is done with flowers)

    Robert (his and his father's name, I don't really love it but thought it would be nice in the mn spot for honor's sake)
  • Lydia, because of a crazy ex from a million years ago. I am still mourning Lydia.

  • Evelyn (His best friend named is daughter this)
    Elizabeth (He feels it is too common)
    Claire (No reason)

    Daniel (He has a former co-worker he didn't care for with that name. I'm still trying to get this one on the table)
    Ethan (No reason)
    Andrew (No reason)

    Of course this comes from the man who wants to name his son Darwin......
  • Lydia, because of a crazy ex from a million years ago. I am still mourning Lydia.
    @adriennerose80, all ex's names were automatically out for us.  It was tough, because with DH, it was a lot of girl names!  I love Lydia too!

  • River and Gannon. I love River and he said "NO!"
  • -Jameson (DH is James) he doesn't like it because it's our friends dogs name and a whiskey. (I'm still holding out for this one)
    -Nicholas (nick)
    -Mathew (Matt)
    -Maliki (nn Ki)

    It sucks how people from our past (or present) ruin a name for you :(

    I'd agree it's hard to get past the Children of the Corn connection to that name! So creepy!

    He's trying to say no to June and Leona but he can't seem to come up with any alternatives to change my mind. We're at a complete wedge
