Inspired by the current thread about names, I thought I'd ask what your DC would like to be called if they could choose their own name?

My DC have always been OK with their names but I used to babysit for a little girl called Emily who was desperate to change her name to Angela.

Belle or Rose apparently. Never in the running. The 3 year old would be Sparkleshot.

I've just asked my adult son what he'd be called if it was his choice
He said " Tefal " as he'd identify as a frying pan

Back in the day DD was cross that we hadn't named her Sophie!

I used to introduce myself as Angela Rachel Sarah Clare when I was five because those were the names I wanted and I couldn’t pick 😂😂

my daughter sometimes says she wishes she was her middle name (named after exMIL). But my exMIL is awful so absolutely not 🤣

I don't mean her name is Nice, by the way.
I mean it's nice she likes her name!

Asked DD (10). She thought long and hard about it and said ... My own name really ...

which is nice 😃

DD told me recently she wants to change her name to Isabel. I’ve got no idea why.

Mine is only a toddler. He'd probably say 'T-rex'.
