Mumsnet Talk

Have just dug a list of possible names for my future DC I made when I was 15 or 16. It contains such gems as:

Girls:

Misty
Rio
Destiny
Lutricia
Kiri
Loralei
Tea (with a dash over the 'e' i.e. pronounced Taya)
Pinkie

Boys:

Nolan
Drey
Bu
Jenner
Duane
Clifford
Fox
Wilder

Feel free to point and laugh, and to share the mental names you once thought you might call your DC.

Sorry, dug out.

I distinctly remember a conversation with our group of girls when we were 14 about this and we wrote them down on postcards!

(Mine were Leannah and Maia, and Elliott and Zane).

Jade/Gabrielle but can't remember which boys names I liked

my girls name was 'Jessamyn'
i liked jessica and Jasmine so decided to merge them together!

At 15, a boy would have been jon richard in honour of my love of Bon Jovi . Didn't have any girls names.

I wanted boy/girl twins called maxi and flo until someone pointed out it sounded like a tampon

For girls: Harriet, Carrie and Alexandra.

For boys: I was determined I would have a Willow, Will for short...

Ooh great thread.

Mine were kai, zane, Jessica, Tia and renee! Good lord.

I desperately wanted a daughter called Toni. I thought it was the height of sophisticated cool. Further down the list were Lacey and Shannon. I'd write them down in a book as and when I was inspired so as not to forget them in later life

Kieran Matthew
Mark Robert
Ruby Edith

I still quite like Kieran and would have used Ruby had it not got so popular. Edith is DD's middle name.

I'm still a massive Take That fan but probably won't be naming any children after them...

Kai
Tai

Sarah
Emma



DS and DD have very different names.

My DS has a currently very popular old Testament name that I have loved since I was a teenager. If I had had him when I was in my early 20s I would have been cutting edge. As it is, I had him in my mid 30s and he is just one of millions with the same name!

Channing.....think it might have been for a girl. Too much Dynasty, Knots Landing nonsense in my head.

I had a list of what my 6 children would be called. Unfortunately it got thrown away and I've forgotten most of them.

Ashley was a boy.
Charlotta for a girl. I didn't want Charlotte because she was a nasty bully in my class, so changed it slightly!

At that age, my first born daughter was going to be Saffron. And that was before AbFab.

The name I liked for a boy when I was 15 is the name I gave to my son when I had him about 20 years later!

my girl was going to be Bronwyn or Tiegan

boy was going to be Finn

(not that I was into aussie soaps or anything)

I remember loving Georgiana at about 15. I had read it in a book somewhere... Can't think where now. My daughters have different names .

Kevin and Abi

Storm
Jet
Raven

Oh, the shame...

Oh I had some belters

Carlene
Triony
Locksley
Kayleigh (like the Marillion song)

Didn't have any boys names, when I was growing up all dolls we're girls I didn't want any boy babies. I know have one DS and three DDs

Jai for a girl or a boy.

Christiana Jayne

Raphael

I went for some rather less flowery names!

Mine are terrible!

I wanted two boys and was going to name them Bastian and...Keith.

I have sons. I chose different names
