HelpNames my husband vetoed (more)
I was thinking recently about the names my husband vetoed. We decided on Miriam pretty early on, but these are ones I liked.
Nora - About six months along I fell in love with this name. I tried very hard to talk my husband into using it, didn't work
Leah
Julia
Magda - he preferred Magdalene. This was a common issue - I like short, simple names and he liked frillier ones.
Gwen - again, he found it too short and guttural.
Jordan - it's still very common for boys in this area
Rosalind - with the roz pronunciation, not the rose one.
Eleanor
Naomi
On the flip side he liked:
Geneiveve
Cecilia
Violet
We ended up settled on Judith, Margaret, Katarina, and Miriam. He actually didn't like Miriam until I was pregnant. It was the same with our list of boys names. Julian, Peter, Raphael, and Malcolm. He didn't like Malcolm, but we ended up agreeing on it. Not sure how that worked.
Thoughts?
