He didn't like Norah because it rhymes with his last name and he said Elliot is a "hipster" name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270834 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:10:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 270834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He said it was a porn star name. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270824 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:58:31 +0000 Andrea 270824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He said I picked a stripper's name. I still have no idea what he's talking about. It's like not the name was "Candy" or something along those lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270818 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:56:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 270818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually they were too weird or "ugly." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270817 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:51:11 +0000 BananaPancakes 270817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't like names that sound like a last name. I really really wanted to use Thatcher, and he said all he could think about was A Knight's Tale. He's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270791 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:36:09 +0000 chopsuey 270791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually it's "I knew a X.

But really, he should hear his own ideas : ) Choosing a name has been very hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270777 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:24:38 +0000 ChelseaRose 270777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Same here! We didn't really give each other too many specifics on why names just didn't work for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270776 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:23:54 +0000 SAHM0811 270776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto Hilsy... He just didn't like them. </p> <p>We only ever disagreed on boy names... We had a bunch of "meh" boy names, while we totally agreed on girl names easily. We finally found a boy name we both really liked eventually... I couldn't believe it, but turned out we had another girl anyhow though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270771 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:08:00 +0000 hilsy85 270771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just didn't like them. That was reason enough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270749 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:24:57 +0000 photojane 270749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>two of my favorite boy names were max and milo, and he said they both sound like animal names. haha. luckily those were the only names we disagreed on though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270746 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:18:20 +0000 Sammyfab 270746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My names were always vetoed because my DH associated them with someone from his past! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270745 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:18:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 270745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a lot of "I knew a X and hated him/her!" His other reasons included "too old sounding" or just a plain wrinkled nose. I guess he felt those required no explanation? lol! He just said, "because I just don't." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-reasons-did-your-so-give-for-vetoing-your-favorite-names#post-270738 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:09:14 +0000 autumnlove 270738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH said some of my favorite names are too long, too ambiguous, old sounding, too trendy, too boring or they remind him of people he does not like...usually people from junior high or high school! </p>
