Names you loved but were vetoed by your SO

Fidel - he can't get past the communist dictator thing

DH wanted Che for a boy.
Vlad also got vetoed.

I was bitterly disapponted to discover men have a thing about baby names. I really wanted to name a girl Aurora Rose. He thinks Aurora is too hippy. I still love it. Also vetoed were:
Audrey - too old fashioned
Imogen
Heather
Phoebe
Genevieve
India

We had a tough time with boys names. DH doesnt like long version of names, so he wanted Joe, not Joseph, Tom, not Thomas. Didnt like biblical names. Vetoed Reuben for DS2, which I loved. Atticus wasnt even considered, Jeremy was too upper class English apparently and involved much role playing. I couldn't get a look in on Raffaele, no matter how many ways I brought it up.

It works both ways. Apparently he always wanted to name a son Joshua. That's the name of a disaster I got involved with years ago, so definately not.

Rather than me getting upset with him saying no to names I loved, I had him come up with a list as well. Then we compared lists to create a shortlist and we each weighted the remaining names. DS1 got a name ranked 3 or 4 but really suited him. DS2 chose his name when I played him "hey jude"

DH and I had many a heated conversation over names when I was pregnant with DD.
He vetoed Katherine, Georgia, Elizabeth and Ella (although I kind of agree on that one. It is just so popular now except that I have loved it since I was small. My fave Aunt is Ella). He wouldn't even consider Ella for a middle name even though I relented and DD's middle name is Charlotte (his fave name)

Rather than me getting upset with him saying no to names I loved, I had him come up with a list as well. Then we compared lists to create a shortlist and we each weighted the remaining names.

That's what I tried to do with DH. He never got past A. Luckily DD's name was on my list anyway and it does really suit her.

We had actually agreed on 3 girls names this time-Elizabeth,Annabelle,Veronica but he vetoed Arabella & Amelia.But it turns out this little one is a boy & we had no idea for boys names.He said no way to Sebastion,Adam,Tristan & quite a few others which i can't remember right now but thankfully we have come up with 2 that we both like although he's leaning towards Daniel which is my 2nd choice & i'm leaning towards Thomas which is his 2nd choice .Hopefully he looks like a Thomas & there wont be any arguments from DH
