It isn’t always easy picking a name for your child, and it’s often the source of some major debate between mom and dad. There are tons of reasons why one person may not like a baby name, and now some parents are revealing the reasons behind their vetoes.
The Huffington Post asked their readers to share the funniest reasons they or their partner nixed a baby name and some are pretty hilarious.
Reasons include:
A woman named Anna Beer was “set on naming our son Holden,” and gave her husband the middle name to choose. He wanted Atticus, but she notes, “then we did the “resume” test: Holden A. Beer. Probably not the best idea.”

“My husband wanted to name our first son John Wayne. That was a quick and easy veto.”
For parents-to-be, deciding on a baby name can be a . process.
Do you go with something old, unusual, popular, a family name? The list goes on and on. And if you’re lucky, you and your partner will grant each other “veto” power that you can use for any number of reasons, not least because you simply just hate the name.
We asked the HuffPost Parents’ Facebook community for their favorite examples of why they or their partner vetoed a baby name. Here’s what they had to say.
