Names you loved but were vetoed by your SO

Top of the 'I love / he hates' list is Margot.

He will not have a bar of it.

So I named my Kenwood mixer Margot instead

And Margot Kenwood is gorgeous.

Margot got the big no here too. But I have a bicycle called Ramona for the same reason

The Scrabble Board Rule disallowed: Daisy, Rose, Pearl, Ruby, Iris, Basil, Fletcher, Eve and Hazel

I really liked Rusty for a boy. Technically the SBR applies, but not if the birth certificate says Russell

There are hundreds. It took us ages to arrive at our choice.

[~Hestia~]

Yep, you can add Basil and Hazel to the list of names my DH vetoed.

[Olive]

Jemimah

DH hated most of my favourite girls' names - DD2 was supposed to be Alicia Reade *last name* but he hated it. He also threw out Elizabeth, Katherine, Danielle and all the pretty, girly names I'd picked... and as for boys? Well it's lucky we didn't get one, because we could NOT agree on a single name.

[Miss E]

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to name my daughter Chloe...

Turns out DH had a ferret called Chloe as a child, so it was an absolute no go Who names a ferret Chloe anyway?

[Tinks]

Grace, Amelia and Maggie were all names I wanted but DH said no to

[Aussiegirl777]

I LOVED Gilbert. DP HATED Gilbert......it was never even going to get a look-in for a middle name either so I just had to let it go.

For weeks in my head, I called the twins Indigo and Avalon. I was going to have two little girls named Indy and Ava.. Then I told DH. He said I must be on drugs because they are awful names.. He also hated Audrey and Sybella.

For boys - we were at absolute war over the fact that I LOVE the name Noah (he hates it), and he was insistant on Harry. We already have a Tom - so no way was I having everyone say 'Where's D*ck" when I said Tom and Harry. Lucky they turned out to be girls because I think we would still be fighting over boys names.
He wanted to call DS Lester or Marshall... I said no way.

Miss E - a ferret named Chloe is the funniest thing ever! How cute! Although boo to ruining your name choice.

[Ginger]

Scarlett, Ivy, Noah, Leo, Jeremy, Benjamin, Olive

so many names my dh absolutely refused. in the end i just gave up and let him choose

[Lisa]

Harper - I have wanted a little girl named Harper forever. My Ex also didn't like it
Atticus - Yes, I love the book To Kill A Mockingbird. DH thought that Atticus sounded too much like Abacus.
Jagger - DH liked it but didn't love it.
Jacoby - I loved this so much. Once again, DH was not a fan.
Estelle - I loved this, DH was not a fan and said it reminded him of George Costanza's Mum from Seinfeld. I ended up convincing him it is beautiful and he agreed to it, then I didn't like it anymore! lol

I have had it good with the girls names in that DH hasnt had much objection to any of them but the boys far out!! Good job we have 2 boys 5 girls ratio cos for our boys we have only ever had 5 names make it to the shortlist and we have used 4 of them as first and middle names on our boys. Boys names i LOVE but DH doesnt are:

Oliver (i did get this as our ds middle name but if i had my way it would have been his first name)
Samuel
William
Joshua
Noah
Matthew

They were the main ones, there were more but i cant think of them right now

The scrabble board rule? Can't be used if it's also a noun? WHY???!

If it plays on a Scrabble Board, it's not allowed on a birth certificate I almost converted him with Olive. Almost. By next time I might have him cornered.

I don't know why. Because he's a dorkwad, that's why.

[AnyDream]

I luuuuuuuuurve noun names! However, since my baby-makin days are over, I'm saving em all up for my 2nd-half-of-life career as a best-selling novelist

Guess what, you've got the ultimate Scrabble Board Rule trump card (read this)...looks like Scrabble 2.0 will now allow proper names! Ergo, it's either NO NAME...or Olive .

[*TripleJ*]

DH didnt like any biblical names the only name for a boy i got him to agree to was Lucas im lucky she was a girl coz i dont really like that either

Summer, Abigail, Violet any names i liked lol so i made him pick DDs name coz i was sick of him saying no

[onthefly]
