Calliope. I love it, and it would have fit our DD perfectly. H was worried people would pronounce it incorrectly….and he picked a name everyone gets wrong anyway 😆

James. DH was vehemently opposed to James. He had no personal association with the name but just hates it.

I still love that name.

They did you a favor. Sounds like a pair of Rottweilers.

I was high on Eleanor/Ellie too. Didn’t register with my spouse.


There are at least a dozen ellies in my DC's grade.


There are three Ellie/Ella/Elianna in my 3 yr olds preschool class of 16 kids.

On the one hand I am annoyed about this because I really liked the names and thought we had an agreement, but on the other hand, I don’t blame him at all. I love them but they’re not exactly model individuals.


The person who is actually pregnant and giving birth has naming rights.


I disagree and I'm the one who was pregnant and gave birth. Why would you want to use a name your partner hates?


Why would I use a name that I hate or name a child after someone I cannot stand.

DH vetoed Zelda and Catherine for girls.

For boys he vetoed Xavier and Elliott.

In retrospect, I’m glad we didn’t go with Elliott, but whenever I hear of a little Catherine or Xavier, I have a wistful twinge. I’ve yet to meet a Zelda in real life.

Overdone. You dodged a bullet there. It's like the new Aiden in the uppercrust set, soon to be co-opted by the Walmarts.
