What baby name did your husband veto?

I'm in to unique names, and my sister is pregnant with her second child and has asked me to help her come up with a list of names. Her first son's name is Kian. She wants something clever...

I, myself, have been vetoed a million times in the baby naming category. My most favorite name for a little girl is Dixie. Dad gave me the big cold "no" on that one... Anyone else lose this battle?

When I was pregnant we had a very difficult time picking a name. I thought for sure the baby was going to come home from the hospital nameless. It was a week before due date and we had gone shopping in Kmart and I refused to leave until we finally picked out a name. We compromised I got the first name and he got the middle name. That was the best we could do.

I loved the name Luke but my husband wouldn't budge. The only way I "get" to have baby #2 is if he gets to pick the name!! I'm a little scared...

"Seven." Just kidding. Remember on Seinfeld when George wanted to name his child Seven and I don't even think he had a gf.

I know a woman named Tuesday!

I wanted to name my daughter Isabella, and that was thrown out immediately. I also love the name Madeline, but my hubby? Not so much.

As far as boy's names, I didn't really have much say because he wanted to name his first born son after his dad.

My kids names are

Gabriella Bryn
Aron Emery

I think that on Married...with Children there was actually a kid named Seven.

And then on Blossom, there was Six.

My hubby exercised his veto power on:

Harley for a girl
Ryder for a boy

We went with Wesley for our little guy and it suits him perfectly!

We had such a hard time with names, as we could agree on so very few. I really loved the name Imogen but my husband said no. With hindsight he was probably right but I still love the name!

Yeah, my husband and I have different tastes. I like unique names and my husband likes traditional names. My name is Alaina and his is Eric. So, there you go! Hahaha. LOL. We have a daughter...Rebecca...and that is the only name we could agree on. I wanted Gianna (which he told me sounded like an italian prostitute) if it were a boy I wanted Gianni (which he said sounded like a gay name). Very offensive, I know, I thought the same thing when he said that.

Cash.

I'm a big Johnny Cash fan and thought that for the second son, we cold name him Cash.
Not only did my husband veto it - but so did the whole family!

I was thinking we could have called him "Sue" for short.

I love him name -Colton- but still wish I could have gotten my way! Maybe I could call him "Sue" anyways!
