I'm sure there are a lot though that I would love to use that DH would never agree to ! mediagirl on "10 names you love but won't be using!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-names-you-love-but-wont-be-using/page/2#post-2739501 Wed, 24 May 2017 09:40:05 +0000 mediagirl 2739501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lauren and Jack.

Isabelle/a - same as above. This was a strong contender if our 2nd had been another girl as it was DH's favorite. Charlotte - DH loves this name too, but too popular. We know 3 friends whose daughter's were given this name. Olivia - made it our daughter's middle name because we loved it, but didn't want such a popular name. Evelyn - several friends named their daughter this. Boys: Luke - a good friend named their son this. Nathan - same as above. Oliver - it was getting too popular. Joshua - love this classic name, but we didn't go for it. Joseph - too many people on DH's side have this name.

Girls: Josephine (I LOVE but DH says no way) Matilda (same as above) Charlotte (family member had a daughter named this and it got a little too popular for me...but it would be so cute with our last name!) Elizabeth/Evelyn (too similar to DD1's name) Rosalie (was #2 for DD2 but my best friend named her daughter this....which is awesome because they are a week apart and now it's like I get the best of both worlds! :) ) Juliet (family member has a daughter with a very similar name) Hannah (always thought this was gorgeous but now too similar to DD2's name) Boys: William (family name on both sides but I have one family member who would say we named baby after him and I don't think I could take it lol) Cole (also a family name but also the name of a friend that's just close enough for it to be weird) Can you tell we have two girls? Haha. Very clear to see we've done lots of thinking on the first list. :P ottilie on "10 names you love but won't be using!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-names-you-love-but-wont-be-using#post-2739321 Tue, 23 May 2017 20:19:38 +0000 ottilie 2739321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love names but it is seriously hard to narrow it down each time and agree on something with someone else. At least I've learned to ignore the helpful suggestions and opinions of people other than my husband :wink: Girls - Eleanor (love it, already used twice in our family) Sophie (love it, husband hates it) Nora (too similar to Eleanor) Penelope (love it, husband...does not) Amelia (love it, but love two other "A" names more) Boys - Charlie (love it, already used in our family) Theodore/Theo (husband thinks it is too pretentious) Henry (husband hates it) James (love love love, husband does not) August (I don't want to repeat initials) Beth24 on "10 names you love but won't be using!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-names-you-love-but-wont-be-using#post-2739312 Tue, 23 May 2017 20:02:23 +0000 Beth24 2739312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Girls: Camilla, Rosalie, Ramona (all vetoed by DH) Marina (too much like DD1's name) Carolina (was a top contender for DD2 but we wanted it pronounced Caroleena and thought too many people would think we named her after the Carolinas) Boys: Hudson, Greg, Jackson, Rowan, Charlie 2littlepumpkins on "10 names you love but won't be using!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-names-you-love-but-wont-be-using#post-2739280 Tue, 23 May 2017 18:18:32 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2739280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't really have ten but a few: Girls: Lila, Annabelle, Nora Boys: Nicholas Eko on "10 names you love but won't be using!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-names-you-love-but-wont-be-using#post-2739273 Tue, 23 May 2017 18:10:18 +0000 Eko 2739273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Girl: Eleanor, Addison, Evelyn, Charlotte, Boy: Desmond, Hunter, Mrs. Cereal on "10 names you love but won't be using!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-names-you-love-but-wont-be-using#post-2739265 Tue, 23 May 2017 17:51:28 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2739265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Girls: Mallory (our last name is very close to this...)

Evelyn / Evie (the last 3 are just not top contenders for us; we're only going to have 2 or 3 kids, and we already have the backup names picked out). Boys: 1. Eli (DH hates this name / most boy names) 2. Max (DH hates this name / most boy names) 3. Peter (SIL and my bro have been TTC for #2 for 4 years, and this is their boy name. No hard feelings on our end, as we have another boy name picked out that we love). 4. Daniel (Would be unfortunate with our last name) 5.

I have had a running list of names I love since high school. I could have 20 children and still be sad about the names I didn't use. We are still debating a second so there are some names that are still possibilities. These names are the ones we definitely won't use - a mix of DH vetoed, sound horrible with last name, and people close to us have used the name or a really similar one.

We seriously considered Lachlan, but ultimately couldn't do it. Girls: Thea (our second son would have been Thea if he was a girl), Evangeline (our first would have been Evangeline if he was a girl lol), Adelaide - love it! Boys: Finn _our second was sooo close to being Finn! Beckett - another in-the-hospital contender for our second. Asher- our first would have been Asher but it was becoming so common. Hayes so cute! I love it. Just didn't make the cut.
