We'd likely use it for a middle name down the road if we have a slew of girls someday, but we have other family names ahead of it on the list. </p> <p>The one DH keeps vetoing (and is my faaaavorite) is Josephine. I keep hoping he'll come around, but for some reason he just can't get on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-baby-name-your-so-shot-down/page/2#post-2484100 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:40:20 +0000 cat620 2484100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-baby-name-your-so-shot-down#post-2484095 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:35:49 +0000 HazelEyes 2484095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rebecca, Bronwyn, Bromley, Adelaide :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-baby-name-your-so-shot-down#post-2483917 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 22:12:43 +0000 LibbyLou 2483917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: obsessed with Oona!!
