Hi everyone!
Im due my second baby at the end of this year and am struggling with names!
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to share the names you’ve called your children or names of grandchildren/neices/nephews etc.
Sometimes I think it’s nicer to hear about people’s actual choices, whether they regret or love their choice, how it suits their child etc.
I have read through almost every list going - thought this might be a different way to get some ideas!
Thank you so much

Okay I realise maybe this isnt going to get me any sensible ideas so maybe just names you considered for your children or names you liked but couldnt use??

Do you want dates of birth, addresses and school names too?

Number 1 and number 2 and so on.

You can't call a kid number 2.

My second is called Deux.

#1 Son, #2 Son, and The Girl One. I tried calling them all "loin fruit" for a while, but they didn't really like it.
