You do have veto rights. But seriously, try not to stress out about this until you're ready to talk names. If he won't budge from sound or echo, veto them. If you each have to print out the top 1000 and go through with a highlighter to find a name you both agree on, so be it.
Someone I have on Facebook named their newborn son Loki. Also someone on one of my apps is wanting to call their potential daughter Maken.zeigh because 'Mackenzie got popular'
DS2 (Landon Orion) is nicknamed Loki. Among other nicknames i.e...Landon on the moon and Crash Landon. But never would choose it as a legal name.

I wouldn't either. I get nicknamed Loki by a group of friends because I'm the one who spoils everything/the mean one haha. I have no issue with naming kids after idols and stuff, but I just feel a bit sorry for the boy/the potential amount of picking on he's gonna have etc
@bringmemylongswordho, I veto every time he brings it up! Lol they're not names! Just words... I told him to think of actual names (unique, if that's what he is going for), but he just keeps bringing it up. Dont want to be mean or insensitive to him because he really is amazing, but come on!
Just met someone the other day named ChairMarie. All one word and actually pronounced like a chair that you sit on. Why?! Also met a Benjermin. As my DS is a Benjamin that one just really bothered me.
Confession: The name Jayce is driving me insane. I like it as a name, but my son is named Chase. So people are constantly asking me if its "Jayce". No!! It's not. End rant.

My oldest has had his name (Kade) mispronounced as "Kaden" so many times he just spells his name any time he introduces himself now.

In any case, Misha is a Russian diminutive of Mikhail. So it is entirely masculine, regardless of how rigid ones view of masculinity is.
I understand that Misha is Russian diminutive of Mikhail. However, the soft A is too feminine for my taste and Misha tends to be a girls name where we live.
H and I really like the name Mikhail (pronounced mee-khah-EEL (Russian)), but neither of us are Russian and we live in rural USA. Plus, our kid will be half-Asian... I just don't think it's going to fit. It's kind of off the wall that we like it because we tend toward traditional/Biblical names (Jacob, Aaron, James, etc).

@kg8006I met a girl named Echo in one of my college courses. I really liked it, and she constantly received complements on her name. I thought it was kinda odd at first, but it seemed to fit her personality. Idk. So it kinda grew on me since then. Sound though??? idk about that one. Lol

I went to high school with a girl named Billie Jo Seamon. No one called her Billie Jo. Everyone called her BJ...bad enough right? Yeah, add Seamon to the end and it's a real winner.
WTF were her parents thinking?????
Funny story - one of my close friends had her name legally changed when she was 9. Her parents named her Bobby Jo, and kids started calling her BJ. Her mom immediately got her name changed and let her pick out her own first name. lol.

I really love the name Bartholomew for a boy, and H likes it alright too, but his family has a tradition of naming first-born boys in sets of two by generation. (I.e., both his great-grandfather and grandfather were named Glenn, and H has the same name as his father.) Since we have to think ahead for the second generation (assuming that if we have a son he sticks with the tradition), all B names are automatically out, lest "Bartholomew Junior" become "BJ." Ughh, it's so much pressure trying to come up with a name that would work not only for our son, but for our hypothetical grandson as well!!

I've known plenty of BJs (hey ohhh!!), both men and women, and it is only an issue for a minute. It was the combo with the last name that made this one pretty bad. People with bad last names (like Seamon) need to be extra careful, right? Like I went to high school with the Moorehead family. Their dad's name was Richard. And he went by Dick. I mean, this was his fault, because he chose to go by Dick instead of like Rick or Rich, but still. Say your last name is Spitz....You can't name your kid anything that can become BJ. There really should be laws.

Oh good lord, Dick Moorehead... I'm dying. My little sister went to elementary school with a kid named Harry Weiner. Why, parents, why!???

So my H's family names the first born boy after the grandfather. So....all first born male cousins have the same name (totally weird to me). Make it worse, we live right near his brother and their little boy is only 2 so they will be friends. I told them when they had the baby if they used the name we would not be using it. Only brother's wife is Muslim.... So Joseph into changed to Juesef. Tradition over.
@msu_galthat's kind of nice though! You could still name your son Joseph if you wanted and their names wouldn't be exactly the same, or you could call the whole thing over and choose a different name without being the first one to break tradition! Win win!

My maiden name was one of those bad ones...: luckily my first name is pretty generic and didn't make any bad combos. I changed my name after I got married within a week.
I don't like "James" or "Christopher" for a girl. I have nothing against unisex names but that's a step too far. Don't like the name "Calliope", "Danger", "Brighleigh" or "Tinsleigh" and pretty much any name that's purposefully misspelled or given an overly complex spelling. I also hate "baby" names - names that are cute as pet names and maybe baby names but that don't "grow" with the child. How is a grown woman named "Summer Rain" going to be taken seriously as an executive or as a military general or as a police officer?
Summer Rain isn't bad unless Rain is her last name. Not something I'd choose, but summer is a perfectly normal name and I doubt she goes around having people call her by her first and middle name. This is coming from an Autumn Rose by the way. I'm a doctor and have had no one comment on my name other than it was nice (again I don't introduce myself as anything other than Autumn or Dr....).
And im on the male names for female train. We're not doing it, but I like strong names for girls. I also like feminine names for girls. However, I just don't like feminine names on boys. It sets them up for teasing and kids are mean enough without giving them ammo. I like hard consonants for boys making it sound even more masculine, but that's my preference. Doesn't need to be yours.
But I do know someone who names their boy Mi.sha and he was going to be names Cal.in (pronounced kay-lynn) which are both waaay too feminine for my taste in boy names.
Someone help me! My boyfriend wants to name our kid Soun.d or Ech.o if we have a little girl. Please let us have a boy so this conversation doesn't have to come up again...
There's this girl who's blog I follow and her first kid's name is "Note" and her new baby will be named "Treble". Sorry but my love music loses to my love for moderate normalcy.
I just ran across an Adoracion today. It actually took me a minute to figure out how to pronounce it cause not only is it a "unique" name but it has a "younique" spelling.
