For those who have discussed their favourite names / combos with their SO, what are some of the ones they’ve not liked?
Are there any that they’ve suggested that you have vetoed?
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I have agreed on quite a few, but these are some he flat out refused:
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
These are some he has suggested that I have said no to:
[name_m]Tommy[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruce[/name_m]
[name_m]Clifford[/name_m]
[name_f]Cambria[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
Fortunately our styles are pretty similar so there hasn’t been too much vetoing so far!
Names he vetoed:
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - name of his childhood bully
[name_u]Drew[/name_u] - too boring
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - too long (we agreed on just [name_m]Seb[/name_m] instead)

We have very similar styles, as well as likes and dislikes. However,I do have a soft spot for some classics like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], which hubby hates. It was a bit sad at first, but now I just mention them to get a reaction from him haha
I wouldn’t actually use them.

Dh & I don’t discuss that often, because we don’t really plan on having children. But, occasionally he humors me for fun!
He really dislikes [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] & [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] for some weird reason. And 3/5 of my top five boy list! [name_u]Nolan[/name_u], [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] & [name_m]Colm[/name_m].
His favorite name for a boy is [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], which I try & try to get on board with. It’s just okay though…
I think that he also likes [name_u]Remington[/name_u], which is so not my style. And I’m sure that there are a few more bada** tough guy name that are just too much for me. Oh! He loves [name_u]Francis[/name_u] for a boy. Which he thinks sounds bada** tough guy some how. I really don’t care much for it, & thankfully it was already used by his cousin her for son.

[name_f]Ethel[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Irene[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f] - Too old lady-ish
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - He grew up with a “Friends name” and hated it
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - Too British
[name_f]Hedley[/name_f], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] - Too Prep School
I’ve vetoed
[name_u]Sidney[/name_u] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t like the nn [name_m]Sid[/name_m] and can’t think of a way around it
There are probably other’s but neither and us can remember
Tonight he vetoed [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
I’m devastated!
