My DH wanted Nicholas, I said no, WAY too common (at the time). He wanted Tristan, also a no, it would be a tongue twister with our last name. Other than that we didn't have any hard no's

Girls: Josephine, Margaret (nn Maggie), Idalia, Lucia or Lucy, Miranda, Lilah, Cassandra (nn Cass or Sandra), Calliope (nn Callie), Diana -- there were so many others but this is just the ones I remember, I must have suggested 200 girls names and he vetoed all but two of them.
Boys: Milo, Calvin, George, Harrison, Frederick (nn Freddy), Elvin
He suggested almost no names, these are the ones I wound up vetoing of his:
Girls: June
Boys: Melvin, Howard, Gavin
Oh I just remembered he also vetoed the names Julia, Julianne, and Juliet for a girl, and Julian for a boy.

Rosemary.
Right? Such a good name. We landed on the perfect name for our only, but had we had a 2nd son I would have pushed for it again!

My husband vetoed Jasper and Clover. They weren't my favorite names but I thought they were cute and he shot them down immediately. He liked Aidan and Evelyn and I vetoed those.

I needed an N name and liked Nora. I also liked Nora Ephron’s writing.
