Hellobee Boards

Connor. I love it DH hates it.

Virignia, Sawyer and Stella all got the veto. I loved all three of them. Charlie and Elliott were my top 2 boy names before we found out the gender and DH hated them too.

His only pick for a name? Angelo. Hells to the no.

My husband and I actually have very different taste in names. He likes very "regular" names, especially for boys (like James, Michael, etc.) and I like more unusual ones. Off the top of my head, I know I've brought up Hadley, Holden, Wyatt and Faulkner and they all got vetoed. I also loved Noah but my husband thought it was too biblical. I was still working him down, but his cousin just had a Noah though so that took care of that.

I've always liked Peter for a boy's name but DH really doesn't. I also like Anthony or Antonio but hubby works with a "Tony" he doesn't like so that name is out too.

We are in agreement about a few names though, thank goodness!

I love Ezra for a boy. LOVE.. and my fiance hates it. I mentioned it to my mom and she made a weird face. When I asked her what that was about she just said, "It isn't very manly, is it?"

I, for one, think it is very masculine.

There are so many names that I love that my husband hates. Off the top of my head I can think of Willow, Vivian, William, and Ezra. There have been a lot more. We have never agreed on any name. It gets a little frustrating.

Nirvana. I love the name (not just because of the band) but because DH HAAAATES the band, he's currently refusing, but I'm wearing him down!

@tana_bk: I also love love love the name willow, haven't mentioned that one to DH yet...

I love Margaret, but DH had a horrible neighbor named Margaret when he was younger. He loathes that name!

@blushink: I know right! That isn't where I got the name, I have loved it forever, but he is a great example of a MAN named Ezra.

Hannah and Leah got a big thumbs down from Mr. McB.

Also we continue to go back and forth about Henry. One day he likes it, the next time we talk about it he hates it again >_<

I love Evelyn and Vivian-- DH isn't a fan. He likes Emma, which is way too popular, so I vetoed it.

Lily and Rebecca got vetoed. William too. I vetoed Roland, though, unless it's as a middle name.

Ruth and Auralie

We really struggled with boy names! For girls, we were pretty much in agreement and only struggled with narrowing our choices down to two girls names. For boys names, our conversation went something like this:

Me: How about ______?
DH: No way. How about ______?
Me: Not a chance. How about ______?
DH: Nope. How about ______?

And so on...... we finally found two that we like so we've got two boys names and two girls names and I don't really see us changing from either of those names.

As for my personal favourites that he didn't like - Noah, Oliver, Hamish (pronounced Hay-mish, but I know no one in America would ever pronounce it correctly so I was ok with it being nixed), and Jaime (James).

@thatwife: i seriously love the name adelaide. unfortunately, my husband's not a fan either.

I love Waylon by DH just makes jokes when I bring that name up...

@rosie girl: my LO's middle name is Rosalee... in the beginning he wasn't too into it, but when she got here thats the name we picked! Her middle name was more important to me than DH so he let me pick.

We agreed right away on names... but we both have the same taste in just about everything so it works!

I love Elliot for a boy and Charlotte for a girl. My husband made a face a both but I love Charlotte so much that I was going to do all in my means to brainwash him... until I heard my mother and aunts, in their heavy Chinese accents, go "Shallot?"
