Names you'll never get to use...

When I was pregnant with my 2 DS's I had boy and girl names decided on before the 20 week scans!

I had 2 DS's, and after the last one we decided no more, so my girl name will go unused and I feel a little sad about it. It was a great name.

Anyone else feel like this Grin

We are definitely stopping at two so we will never get to use the girl's name that I had picked when pg with ds. I keep on encouraging my friends to use it but no takers so far- mmmmm. The name is Arianne which we could have got away with as dh is French. Anyone fancy using it? Would make me so happy :)

I always wanted a dd called Lily, I adore it as a first name but it's actually my dd's and dp's surname so will never use it properly.

articulate Nyree is beautiful.

All my dcs have Maori middle names as my grandfather is maori making me 1/4 maori(i think)!! If i have another dd i would be tempted to use Nyree as a mn but i think its a form of dd1s mn Ngaire so will prob have to think of somthing else.

Grace.

Would have been Lily as well, but I used that name for my cat Grin

Oh Durham :(

Does it count if there are names you can't use because friends or family have used them for their DC's. DH and I decided if we had a girl we would use Rose as a middle name after DH's mum. My DSis used it as a middle name for her DD although the name has no significance. Is it acceptable for me to use it as well?

Dh had the snip so will never have an Ella, Darcy, Benedict or Louie.

Wanted dh to have snip as much as he did but when we got the letter to give us the all clear to stop using contraception I had a little cry Sad

It was Nyree, I just loved it (I might be alone in loving it!)

I'll never have my little Billy. But my 3 dds are great!

Yes. I never had a little Leo.

What was your unused name, OP?
