When you were a child/teen what baby name were you going to 'definitely' use for future DC's?

Abbigail

Aged 16 Teagan and William James

Still love the name Teagan but told my friend when she was pregnant and lo and behold she has a Teagan!!

Late 80s, Esme Honor. I haven't used it, and doubt I will!

everdene I know a little Ciella! Her sister is Soleil. So awful haha.

I insisted for a long time that I was going to name my daughter London or Jenny, and my son Eamon.

Eamon is still fine but I don't like it.

London is beyond words. Awful. Jenny is just outdated and I have no idea what I was thinking.

Annalise like in Neighbours, early 90s thought it was very glamorous.

I had SO many picked out, I was the world's most broody child:

At 10, I was desperate to have a girl called Leigh, and my best friend would have a girl called Billie.

I decided aged about 14 that I'd have seven children by the time I was 21 including two sets of twins. I'm now 32 and ttc, but I am giggling at what my DPs would have said back then had I stuck with that plan!

Anyway...
My eldest child would be 'Lucy-Clir Saoirse Aida Annie', known as Shea
Other children would be Echo, Ciella (like French for sky, natch!), Alexis (boy) and Paddy. I also decided my sister should have boy/girl twins called Issa and Emmanuel. I'm a terrible imaginary teen mum as I can't remember any of the other would-be children's names.

I loved Isis then for years, and wanted Anna Isis. Thank the stars above that didn't happen!

As a little girl I used to make lists of girls' names - I loved Felicity, after a girl from Malory Towers, and liked feminine -a names like Araminta and Rebecca.

As a teenager, I liked names like Lestat, Morgana, Mircalla and Lucretia because I was that sort of teenager. I still like unusual and mythology-based names, but would not now name a child after a fictional vampire!

It was all about Flowers in the Attic for me, so Carrie and Cory for a start..:o

No, I didn't use them.

When I was about 14 (1980) I had names picked out for a boy and two girls. Richard, Charlotte and Tamsin. I still like all three but never used any of them.

When I was 20 (1986) I was in love with a German speaking man and I gave some thought to names that would work in both languages. So if we'd had children together they might well have been Alexander and Emma. I still like those too!

1980 Dean Hamilcar ( Hannibal's dad - Latin O level, I say nothing more) about the same time Alana Rose. Curiously, neither of these name combos got through the 'cold light of day' test.

However, when me and my now DH first got 'serious', we did imagine having an earnest, solomn little girl with the name we did call our DD, who did turn out to be both rather earnest and solomn.

When I was little I loved Anna and Virginia (but I was around 5 and named my doll). (late 80ies, btw).
With around 10 I loved Ronia, Lilliana and Emil, I think... (mid 90ies)
With 16 I was convinced (!) that Elena and Viktor were the best names ever.
Later I had a bit of crush on Patricia....

But I didn't grow up in the UK, so this probably won't help you with "trend developement"...
Right now my guilty pleasure name is Blaise, tbh...

Early 90's - I had Sheridan picked out for a future daughter. I didn't use it.

I chose the name in 1991 and used it.

From primary school (left in 1982) I wanted Katherine, and I used it in 2000.

Between the ages of 3 and 8 (early 90s-2000) I was going to call my children Thumbelina and Gaston

Funnily enough, Thumbelina hasn't made it onto the short list for DD due in July!

I read that as Croydon, and thought I had wandered into one of those 'Place of conception' threads!

Corydon

Julie and Karen, because I was only going to have girls. I ended up with two boys and a girl and none of them are called either of those names.

Linnet I know a girl called Starr and always say 'Star, Star's good, I like Star' to her

Scarlett for a girl, Bowie for a boy. This would have been around 1990 when GWTW was my favourite book and I first started to love David Bowie!

I'm so glad I wasn't a teenage mum - not least because both those names are frightful!

Early 90's I wanted 4 girls
Ruby, Amber, Saffron and Jade

Had my 1st child in 96 but was a boy and never used any of the names

I do still really like them but Ruby and Jade have got to common now

Sophronia, Calliope was a name that I had on my list for dd1 but everyone laughed at me and I lost my nerve. Still think it's a pretty name though. Our dd2 has a greek name but a different one.

When I was a teenager I loved the movie The Lost Boys and the girl in it was called Star. I thought it was such a cool name and I would definitely name my daughter that if I had one. Well I had two and neither of them are called Star although when I was having dd2 dd1 suggested Star as a name but I wasn't brave enough to use it. I have now since realised there are lots of lovely names that mean star but we didn't use any of them either.

I also liked the name Kelsey as I had heard it in a tv programme but I didn't use that one either, I still like it though.

I didn't have any boy names as I was going to have girls and I did.

When I was 8 or so I liked Ashley for a girl, and Erryn ? for a boy.

In my teens I had a Greek mythology phase and liked Ariadne or Calliope for a girl and Zacchaeus or Corydon for a boy.

I don't have any DC yet but none of these names will be on the list
