    Names you loved but will never/ have never used.

    Willow and Piper were favourites for me this time, but DH hated them. Luckily in the end we found a unique girls name we both loved (Annika).
    Zara was our girls name when we had DS, but by the time we did have our girl we'd outgrown it.

    I have loads. Who knew men were allowed a say!
    i really loved Aurora, Audrey, Imogen but all nay sayed by DH. I cant remember the names I wanted for DS1 because the name we ended up with suited him perfectly. We both wanted a J name for DS2, so that wasnt too hard.

    i have a new favourite boy's name but I'm too scared to tell DH until we need it because I know he'll hate it

    DH & I clashed on pretty much all our names. I had names picked from 1998 lol. I had picked Cooper & Amelia. He flat out refused to budge on both I did a deal with DS, and he agreed to choose a name from my list & have Cooper as the middle name. Other names he vetoed: Reuben, Archer, Rowan, Talia, Milla, Mali, Eloise. The list goes on... and on....

    Myah Audrey was the name we had for DD if we decided not to use the ones she's been given.

    I also wish I could have had a Jack, but due to naming difficulties that would have caused we couldn't.

    I always loved Lucinda, Cassidy, Maeve, Sydney (we were sooooo close to using that for DS2 had he been a girl) and she was going to be Sydney Ellen, like Annette Benning's character in The American President. It was the one name we both absolutely loved. I have always had a soft spot for Alice (My great Grandmothers name) and Ruth (my grandmother's name). I would dearly loved to have used Ruthie, but I know she would have freaked out. She really has a thing about not using family names. I don't have a boy's name because I've already used them If the two girls had of been boys they would have been nameless LOL because we just didn't have anything that we liked for a boy at the time we were having them.

    I always wanted Lillian for my daughter(s) when I was little. I was going to have a whole garden of little girls. Then I had a boy, then another boy & when I finally got one of those many many little girls I always thought I would have, Lily was such an over used name I couldn't bring myself to use it. Isla is much prettier anyway :P. Then I went on to have 2 more boys so I was never going to get my Garden of names anyway lol.

    I also like Seth & Zenith for boys. But Both names that DH never really put on his maybe list.
