DH doesn't like the name - and it's become a little too popular besides. Henry has always been my top boys' name, but DH hates it. I love DH, but our tastes are polar opposites (he loves Hilary and Bridget, both names I nixed.) We're having a girl, and I'm sure the final name will be a cliffhanger up to the last moment because we simply cannot agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144468 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:16:48 +0000 avivoca 2144468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl: Evelyn (because our last name is Ev@ns).<br /> Boy: Gyronopholis (I hate it, DH loves it, and I won because no 5-year-old will be able to spell it plus I don't want to set my kid up for a lifetime of bullying). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144463 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:12:59 +0000 Synchronicity 2144463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caleb - when you say it with our last name, it sounds like two completely different names (and female, to boot). It's my favourite boy name though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144456 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:03:55 +0000 kentuckygirl 2144456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Corinne because although I love it, I think it sounds "old" for a little girl and don't like the NN Cori.</p> <p>For a boy, Clay, because our DS is Mason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144455 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:03:35 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2144455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such beautiful names! </p> <p>From the time I can remember, I wanted two kids, Sophie and Henry.</p> <p>Sophie is a beloved dog's name in the family, and Henry is a terrible and estranged relative on my husband's side. So, there go my dream names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144442 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:34:38 +0000 littlebug 2144442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emma - It's a nickname that many people call me.

Not a single person I ran it past liked it, especially not DH. I was told that with our "S" last name it sounded like a stripper (Ugh! why do people say things like that!).</p> <p>I also love Gus but our S surname is problematic there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144414 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 06:41:03 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2144414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Landon- big fat veto from Mr. Lime</p> <p>I'm still holding on to my fav girl names in hopes if we actually need them he will open up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-name-that-you-love-but-will-never-use/page/2#post-2144401 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 06:30:01 +0000 Ajsmommy 2144401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: my brother's name is corbin..
