I used to secretly hope I'd marry a Hispanic man so I could use it. Buuuttttt I married an Italian and Javy would sound a little odd with out last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607938 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:24:26 +0000 Ra 607938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Harvey. It was my grandfather's name and he and I shared an amazing bond throughout my childhood. DH doesn't mind the name for a second LO (if we have one) but prefers it as a middle name. We get really negative reactions from most other people though, including my grandmother! Apparently, my grandfather HATED his name. Lol. She said if he were alive, and I named my child Harvey, he'd probably slap me around a bit (jokingly, of course!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607915 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:13:11 +0000 Grace 607915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Marek, because I'm not brave enough. Michael, because Mike runs into our last name and sounds like something silly and Jack because it rhymes with our last name and sounds ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607913 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:10:35 +0000 mrsmenow 607913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Blythe. At first it sounds not so good, but it grows on you. DH hated it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607895 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:01:16 +0000 Turd Ferguson 607895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Oh hell yeah!

What kind of person? (genuinely curious!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607818 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:30:49 +0000 eeh 607818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hudson. Change the first vowel and you have our last name so there is no way the two could go together which makes me so sad because I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607811 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:28:28 +0000 delight 607811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a tendency to lean towards "old-fashioned" or classic girl's names. I love Eleanor, Evelyn and Nora. Sadly, DH does not share the love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607764 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:17:28 +0000 stargal 607764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love gemma too but dh vetoed that :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607728 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:01:26 +0000 mamimami 607728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS I have an Elias!

Theodore, love this name, but LO is Eleanor so we'd look like crazy Roosevelt fans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607661 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:03:08 +0000 anbanan15 607661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LMOG47: @Mrs. Jacks: Love Elias! It always makes me think of the song by Dispatch! One of my all time favorite songs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607655 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:58:16 +0000 anbanan15 607655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loden, like the shade of green...I thought it would be cute with the girls name we picked which means green, but DH hates it and says it doesn't go with our last name (ends in -wen). </p> <p>Ezra, but again DH hates it. I have always loved this name but I think people would automatically think of PPL now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607640 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:45:35 +0000 sera_87 607640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Victoria - i love it but its my best friends' daughters name.<br /> Ever - its not really a name but I love it.<br /> Liam, Ben, Noah - I have first cousins once removed with those names, so no go. And Liam is too popular now.</p> <p>ETA: oh ya, the names Mary Jane &amp; Bud do not go with DH's last name. Like, I would consider it child abuse if we named them that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607595 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 07:39:12 +0000 Happygal 607595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simone. Love that name, but it belongs to a grown up woman in my mind, not a baby. I love Spanish names, which might confuse people if I had a Leo, Carmen, Marianna running around with me as I am not latina. And I love a lot of Biblical names, which DH is not so excited about: Elijah, Noah, Selah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607573 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 06:42:07 +0000 heffalump 607573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadie. Dh doesn't like it. And Beatrice. It's actually Dhs family name, but he hates it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607564 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 06:16:48 +0000 amreis 607564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've loved Jackson for years (family name), but my best friend just used it on her new LO a few weeks ago. It's also getting more and more popular. Addison is too close to my MIL, and Ashton is too close to my name.</p> <p>@Ree723: I teach, too, and I can relate! I cringe at the beginning of the year when I see names I like, and I cross my fingers that they're well-behaved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607560 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 06:11:16 +0000 Bao 607560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Ella but DH doesn't :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607533 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 04:34:52 +0000 mediagirl 607533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Samantha.

I like Heidi but DH hates it. I like Summer but wouldn't use it as I think it's a bit out there. I also quite like Chloe, but my niece has that name. </p> <p>Boys names aren't a problem, so far :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607526 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 04:15:02 +0000 Sweet T 607526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Southern for a girl but doubt we would ever use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607521 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 03:52:05 +0000 Cherrybee 607521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Summer but in the UK its a certain type of person who'd name a child Summer......</p> <p>I also love Heidi but it doesn't go with our last name and is a little twee.....</p> <p>Both of the names I would use for a girl - Lois and Larkin - have been vetoed by DH, so its back to the drawing board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607506 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 02:52:55 +0000 BoogieBea 607506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Beatrice is my daughter's name =)</p> <p>I liked Matilda and Eleanor but my husband said no. We both liked Lucy but didn't work well with our last name. I also like Madeline but it was too popular.</p> <p>We liked the Blue for a boy but would not sound good with our last name. But our son's name came to us on a tangent off of the name blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607481 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:00:51 +0000 MamaMagpie 607481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Atticus for a boy but DH hates it! He even got my grandma to back him! Veto :-/<br /> For a girl, I love the names Penelope (Penny is so cute) but DH isn't sold, plus we do have a girl name we agree on so I'm not too sad about not getting to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-love-but-would-never-use/page/2#post-607479 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 00:54:50 +0000 lemondrop 607479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Jack, but it would not work well with our last name. The poor child would be constantly teased, I'm afraid. </p> <p>We were also going to go with Will Raymond, but we soon realized that our families would start calling him Billy Ray... no way. </p>
