What would your children be called if you gave them the name you came up with as a boy/girl?

I would have a Ryder (male) and a Zola or Nova.

Came up with them when I was probably 15/16.

Not horrifically horrendous but I would now be disappointed had I become a teen mum.

She-ra
Alanna

Damien
(All names preferred by me when I was very, very young, if it is evident…)

Oh! I forgot that for a time when I was 16 i wanted to change my own first name by deedpoll to 'Moffatt'. (I'm Caroline which I like now)

Paulette. Like my doll!

Boy- Ezekiel
Girl- Sage or Paige.

Good thing I had my first at the age of 38 tbh. I quite like all the names still- but they would not have suited either of mine.

Pamela! 🤔I had a doll with this name and thought it was VERY sophisticated . . . it was my favourite name for a long time

Mine would be Daisy and Matthew, pretty normal names. I prefer something more unusual now.
