Taylor or Tyler for dd. Not that it's any excuse, but I was only 20 at the time...

Ava. DD (if she turned out to be a girl, of course) was going to be Ava all the way through my pregnancy, then I changed my mind in the last fortnight.

Then Myleene Klass called hers Ava around the same time and I was glad I hadn't. Still a lovely name though, but DD is not an Ava anyway. She really suits her nameSmile

Olivia and Sophia were both on our shortlist. Nice names, but so popular now, I am glad we didn't use them.

Nearly called ds2 Leo and went off it the minute he was born. Still dont like it!

Hassled · 28/03/2011 16:45

Sebastian. I still quite like it, but with the double-barrelled surname I might as well have been thinking of calling DS2 Little Lord Fauntleroy.

GeneHuntLovesHoops · 28/03/2011 16:43

When I had dd 11 years ago - Morgan!! Oh thank goodness I didn't call her that!

Ds2 was nearly Luca as he is half Italian, but he took after me and is v v blond and it just wouldnt have suited him. Also, it makes me squirm hearing some accents saying it.......

DD would have been a Francesca, I am so glad I didn't call her that, I think it is a vile name now.

If a boy she would have been Reuben or Zacharias. I don't know what was going on in my head at the time, what crap names.

DD is called Sophia.

LittleCheesyPineappleOne · 27/03/2011 23:26

Imogen if DS1 had been a DD. It's an ok name, but has got quite popular. We did have our DD eventually, but she has a much nicer and more timeless name IMO.

wheredidyoulastseeit · 27/03/2011 23:24

Ursula for dd1 and glad I didn't use it, Lucien for Ds1 which was vetoed by dh and by ds1 once he knew about my love of the name but I still really like the name Lucien, I think there is a kitten or puppy in the future which will get the name.

SkipToTheEnd · 27/03/2011 23:24

Ginnifer if DS had been born a DD. I loved Ginny but hated every other name it was short for.

And Matthew for DS. Nothing wrong with it but I'm a bit meh about it now.

Maximus and Felix

Wafflenose · 27/03/2011 22:56

Jennifer. I don't mind it, but it wouldn't have suited her. She has a short, strong, straight-to-the-point name instead, which suits her personality perfectly!

I still have our lists of names for DS and DD.

I still like all of them.

They like to discuss them with us too.

I think we made great choices and I still love the names we went for.

DS couldn't care less and DD have her favourites from her list!

NorthernGobshite · 27/03/2011 16:58

Phew, dodged a bullet there shimmery!

shimmerysilverglitter · 27/03/2011 16:48

Jordan back in the early nineties.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/03/2011 16:48

Bertie for DS.
Lucy for DD ( still love but too popular )

( i love Eliza!)
