Maybe if it comes down in the next couple of years. Damn you T-Swift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-844613 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:05:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 844613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Wyatt for a boy but we have a W last name it did not work. </p> <p>Also, Elodie for a girl (Ellie) but DH though it was just Melody with the M off of it. </p> <p>Other names we liked but couldn't use: Dexter (before we watched the show) &amp; Stella (we have a niece Ella) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-844608 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:04:53 +0000 Ra 844608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also love the name Eden! It is one of my favorite girl's names. DH's old boss (who he is still very friendly with) named her little girl Eden though so DH took it off the table. Le sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-844605 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:02:57 +0000 swedishfish 844605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also would've loved to use my maiden name as a child's middle name but it rhymes with my married name. Argh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-844548 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:40:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 844548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sylvie.</p> <p>It is my ultimate favorite name but we have too many Ss in our last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-844539 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:37:57 +0000 daniellemybelle 844539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are so many names I love that sadly are just too rhyme-y with our last name. Last names can be so limiting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-843819 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 23:07:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 843819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I figured you would get the reference ;)<br /> Yes, I love her real middle name so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-843644 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:51:53 +0000 cheesetomywhine 843644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: I have this same problem. Such a bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-843636 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:48:02 +0000 swedishfish 843636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Aurelia and Theodore but DH nixed both of them. He also said no to Leo and August. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-843619 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:36:01 +0000 Honeybee 843619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Glacier would have been such a cool, meaningful middle name for your first! Of course, I am partial to her current middle name, as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-842595 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:04:47 +0000 Mrsjets 842595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I love love love the name Summer but my neice's name is Soleil and DH thinks they're too matchy. I also love Autumn but DH said no to that one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-842591 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 23:57:24 +0000 Cherrybee 842591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH loves Tolkein (the writer, not the name!) and suggested all kind of out there names from his books - but they were just too weird for me!! He also kept suggesting Ethelfrith - it started off as a joke but he brought it up again and again until I said "you're not joking any more are you?" and he admitted he actually liked it. Eek! </p> <p>I know its probably not so out-there where most of you ladies come from... I really liked Summer. It's not used much in the UK and DH said it was too weird (hello - Ethelfrith??!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-842572 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 23:34:47 +0000 MamaMagpie 842572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the name Axel/Aksel and DH really liked it too, but the reactions we got to people (on HB and IRL!) were enough to make us think it might just be too out there. Maybe if I was a celeb or something haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use/page/2#post-842536 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:31:10 +0000 Reese 842536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove a ton of P names - Piper, Penelope, Pippa... but we have a P lastname and PP just wouldn't work :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842532 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:26:13 +0000 doodlepoodle 842532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Conner for a boy but it sounds a little too "matchy-matchy" with our last name, which also starts with a "C". There are a few girl names that I like but they are either someone I know who I don't like or someone in our family already has that name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842526 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:19:47 +0000 stargal 842526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: sigh my hubby doesn't like gemma either!<br /> @anbanan15: ooo love loden! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842522 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:16:00 +0000 Corduroy 842522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Leelou was my DH's number one pick for a girl but I vetoed it because of our last name. It would sound like we took it straight out of the Fifth Element.</p> <p>I love Rory for a boy. It was my Dad's nickname. DH shot it down before we knew we were having a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842439 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 20:45:04 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 842439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>joy! it rhymes with our last name. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842371 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 20:02:20 +0000 cheesetomywhine 842371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunshineandsushi: Theodore is my favorite boy name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842363 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:56:35 +0000 tysonja 842363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: aww yay! So glad someone is going to use rory for a boy! I know two really nice rory's in real life-- a sweet 1st grader and a nice young man. :) </p> <p>I think we will end up naming LO#2 Jesse Luke D--------. Not 100% yet!</p> <p>@Arden: do you read the girl gone child blog? I'm assuming you do, but on the off chance you don't, they have twin girls named boheme and reverie:)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842347 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:49:52 +0000 Penny Lane 842347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love poppy. I've had that planned as my first girls name for a long time. unfortunately my father chose poppy as his grandad name, and I can't be bothered telling him :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842315 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:34:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 842315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: that's probably what we are naming our DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842262 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:01:54 +0000 mrsjazz 842262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: I love Stella, it's on our list if we have another daughter in the future. I love names with an L or 2 in them.</p> <p>I really like Leelou or Lulu but DH would not go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842246 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:55:55 +0000 sunshineandsushi 842246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the name Theodora but DH never would have let me use it. So since we had boys, I named one Theodore! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842209 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:22:55 +0000 rattles 842209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Linus. I love it but couldn't get DH on board. Now he's starting to come around, but it's a no-go with my daughter (think Peanuts). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842182 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 17:45:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 842182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh add Seraphina to my girl list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842100 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 16:34:23 +0000 Ra 842100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: LOVE Nev! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842090 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 16:28:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 842090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: We considered Glacier as a middle name. Few people will get the reference, but it made sense if it wasn't so out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842082 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 16:22:20 +0000 Ra 842082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Atticus (from To Kill a Mockingbird) but DH wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-out-there-names-do-you-like-but-wouldnt-use#post-842081 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 16:21:38 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 842081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just played with two little brothers named Sawyer and Finn. LOVE the names... but not together. </p> <p>I'm totally saving Sawyer in my favorite names folder, though! </p>
