Well since my wife is Swedish, i thought THOR, God of thunder would be a great name, but no she wouldn't let me.....Then since she wanted A.J to be initials, being the Star Wars fan I am...Anakin Jackson because i had a feeling he would turn to the dark side...again a big no from the wife......anyone else have perfectly good names that wife poo-poo'd?

henry

I really liked Henry and Kira. Strangely enough, those are the names of the singer and one-time bass player, respectively, for Black Flag. Funny how my wife wouldn't allow those.

Sara Naomi

I wanted to name my daughter completely in honor of my grandmother who had passed away back in December of '96 and my wife said NO!!!!! and wanted to name our daughter Isabel, which is what her name is. It was going to be Isabel Sarah until the wife's best girlfriend died from breast cancer and now my daughter is Isabel Maria.

My Choices

I've always loved the name Josh for a boy and wanted both of our boys to be Joshua...but the wife doesn't like the name so neither is. I also loved the name Rita for a girl but again...nope. To be fair, however, she loved Alexandria and there was no way I would agree to that one. It did go both ways.

PMS

If we ever had a boy, I wanted Parker Michael (middle name is my name). But then she correctly pointed out that our last name starts with an "S" and his initials would be... PMS.

Luckily we had 2 girls instead.

Nebraska

I'm the happy father of a three weeks old little princess, and I was thinking to name her Nebraska, just because I like the sound and meaning of that name, but wife said NOOOOOOO!!. So I suggest Hypatia, Tayrona and Christine (the name of my grand_grandma, and one of her aunts), but the same answer.

But we choose the most beautiful name for her SAMARA, and so she has the same initial as her big brother "S S-S"

I don't recall having any of my choices veto'd. But I do recall shooting down a few of the wife's choices! I ended up coming up with the names of both of our kids........rare, I know.
