When you had names prepared for your first baby, did you go on and use those names for your second baby? For example, if your first was a boy and then you had a girl, did you give the girl the names you already had shortlisted for the first child?

Just wondered how many people change their minds!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

No we didn't and I think if we have a DC3 we would choose a different list again.

OK, so DS1 was given the name I most liked as a first name plus my 2nd best boys name as a middle name... 22 months later a wee surprise in the form of DS2 came along and I'd used both 'good' names.

After much deliberation, DS2 was given DS1's middle name as his first name.

Weird I know, But at least I have 2 names I love.

We changed our lists each time.

No, changed my mind. Partly because in the interim friends used my shortlisted names, partly because other names seemed nicer when it came to DD2.

We only had one boys name for DS1, so there was no other option for DS2.

The girls names changed considerably though.

Now pg with DC3 and we are revisiting the girls names from DS1 and DS2, as well as adding in some totally new ones.
