Kids' names that your spouse rejected

Just curious to learn what interesting (i.e., pop culture, musical, athlete, etc.) potential kids' names were vetoed by the spouses of Surlists. I am not curious about how you wanted to name a child after one family member but were unsuccessful for whatever reason, at least not if there isn't a cool story to go with it. 

I wanted to name Doomlet Jack Burton [Doom] after Big Trouble in Little China, Franklin after Help->Slip->Franklin by the Grateful Dead, or possibly Fletcher after Fletch F. Fletch. 

He is not named after any of those things.

No horseshit, Prepuce?

Didn’t have a boy but I suggested these boy names:

Bodhi - from Point Break

Cooper Smith - I thought a surname for both the first and middle names would be cool.

Luger - no kid named Luger has ever gotten his ass kicked at school.

My dad claimed to have once beaten up Dick Lugar in a bar scuffle in Angola, IN decades ago.  Is that anything?  Of course, then came along Cock Beretta and fucked everybody up.

We were going to name our oldest girl Charlotte Alexandra.   Wife was having one of those preggo no sleep nights and googled Charlotte Alexandra.   Turns out that was a 70’s French porn star.  So we went with Charlotte Elizabeth instead.  Girl #2 is named Alexandra.

Thankful every day of my life that my dad convinced the birthing device to name me after her 2nd favorite late '50s teen idol. There was no way a skinny little Danish kid in MN named Elvis wasn't getting his ass kicked on the daily. Twice a day when I got to Austin as a teenager.
 

No worries, Dion. Austinites look out for each other.

I went 1 for 1 with our oldest son. My maternal grandfather's first name and their family name as the middle, as my mom had 3 sons, but everyone else had daughters.  That's the end of the line, beeyotches..  It has always sounded awesome and pretty much the rest of the family hated my ass for grabbing both names in one shot.  Oh fucking well...LOL.

Wife picked younger son's name with her grandfather's name and my first name as the middle.

We spent no more than 20 minutes or so on naming both kids.  Never have had any regrets.  Have always thought they had had great names to live up to.

So Prepuce is a family name?

I have the opposite-

My ex wanted to name our son Eamonn. I was like "Amen"?  I was not a fan. Told her that I get the middle name if she was going to claim the first.

She could sense trouble was brewing.

Her: (suspiciously) "What middle name are you thinking of?"

Me: "hmmm, Danger...Trouble...no, I've got it!  F'n!  He can be Eamonn F'n Nugent!" 

Her: "Fine, we won't name him Eamonn."

Lost the fight on our first son, I wanted Cullen.  She got Dalton.  Won on the first girl with Savannah.  By the time our daughter and last son arrived I was over it.

With a name like Savannah, you’ve already set yourself back on your fatherly duties. Make sure she doesn’t make friends with anyone names Mercedes or Destiny.

Is your wife aware that you named your daughter after the stripper that gave you a lap dance the night before she gave birth?
