    What a great idea for a thread. I love French names, DH thinks they are silly if not used in a French speaking country. Like Delphine and Honor.

    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

    I loved the name Amelia forever! Dh would not budge on it! But he tellsme after naming Darcie that he liked Amelie!

    He wasn't sold on Maxwell either.... Wanted me to rename the dog, and call max, Charlie! I won!

    Lily... Was one of DH's friends X's and he hated her.
    I have always loved the name, but was not allowed to use it... I tried both times!!!

    Mahala. Specifically, Mahala Kathleen after my grandmother (it's been in my family for close on 500 years) and Kathleen after his mum.

    But he finally agreed if we were to have a girl that's what he would have named it (something to do with a really nasty pregnancy for me)

    All boys names, as we found them the hardest to agree on anything:
    Avery "he'll get called 'bird boy'"
    Jasper "what is he, a criminal from 101 dalmations?"
    Rohan "rohan a boat"
    And what is my all-time favourite boys name, Jolyon, to which he came up with all kinds of jokes about getting your jollies on.
