Mine would've been Mary-Elizabeth for DS1, Harriet for DS2 and Christabel for DS3, although I hate Christabel now!!! No offence to any DM's of Christabel's!

I love both Harriet (wanted it for dd2) AND Christabel but dp hated both of them!

DD1 would have been Laurence (Laurie) Asher
DD2 would have been Rowan Asher

We chose boys' names really quickly and disagreed all the way through re girls' names!

I've got two DD's and would have called them Joseph James if they had been a boy.

Never thought of a second boys name, never needed to!

Ds would have been Toni Michelle if he had been a girl. I don't like the name much anymore. Don't dislike it, but it's not what I would choose now.

DS would have been Zoe Isabelle. I was so certain I was having a boy so didn't put much thought into it.

Interesting question.

Older daughter would have been Nanthaniel and younger daughter Nicholas or Alexander

Ds1 would have been Rhea
Ds2 would have been Rhea or Erin
Dd would have been Callum (not my favourite, I preferred Oscar or Ethan but dh didn't like either and Callum was the only name we could agree on).

DD would probably have been the same - Robin. But Robin Walter instead of Robin Deborah.

I never considered that DS would have been anything else but DS so we never chose a DD name!

DD would have been Alexander but she is Alessandra.

DS (8) would have been Daisy. had DD been a boy a think I would have been a single parent (again), such was mine and DPs hatred of each others chosen names. I think she may have been Arthur or I may have managed Herbie when it all went tits up and EMCSesque he was so shit scared he would have agred to anything! Grin

#1 would've been Freddie, #2 Catherine, #3 Idris, #4 Rose ... we always found girls names much easier than boys.

DD1 - Jay Anthony
DD2 - Joseph Anthony
DS - didn't even suit the boys name we had picked out! If he'd have been DD3 he would have been Lara Faith.
