I want to hear some funny suggestions from your DCs. This is the list that my two (aged 4 and 5 yo) would have written for their new brother or sister:

Poostand
Lovely
Bullseye
Die (my DS doesn't want another sister)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Dd1 wanted Dd2 to be called Peter Rabbit

fusspot66 · 23/10/2011 21:12

My 3 y.o DD wanted Timmy, as in the lamb at nursery school, Owl? or Jesus! For baby brother.

My son wanted his sister to be called 'Book'. He was 2 at the time. I think it was because he'd seen us looking at the baby names book so many times.

VJaaarrrggghhh · 23/10/2011 20:51

Ds wanted to call baby Optimus Prime, and bump was baby Optimus til he came out and looked nothing like!

littlemisslozza · 23/10/2011 20:47

DS1 (3) wanted to called DC3 'Daddy' if it was a boy! Would have been slightly confusing.... DC3 turned out to be a boy but we didn't call him that!
My cousin's eldest children wanted to call their DC3 'Batman' which amused me!

DitaVonCheese · 23/10/2011 20:43

When I asked 2 yo DD what we should call DS, she suggested Mr Horse, Mr Frog or Mr Granny. The rest of the time she went around telling everyone he was going to be called Frogmella.

JumpJockey Rubbish Bin could sounds a bit exotic (innit) in French: Poubelle

JumpJockey · 23/10/2011 20:22

Dd1 (just turned 2 at the time) wanted dd2 to be called:
Rubber band
Rubbish bin
Owl

So we gave her Athene, as in Athene Noctua as a middle name :)

IvaNighSpare · 23/10/2011 20:16

way ahead doh!!!

Kellamity · 23/10/2011 20:15

DD wanted to call DS - Paint

Kayzr · 23/10/2011 20:14

DS1 wants the new baby to be called Dylan. Despite DS2 being called Dylan

IvaNighSpare · 23/10/2011 20:13

I've just been looking back at the March thread and the suggestion for kerrygray's DD was "Pigeon Minger Custard". Every time I read it, it just gets funnier. Class!
I wanted to name my DB (now 37) Florence after the character in The Magic Roundabout. I was obviously was ahead of my time.

tootssweet · 23/10/2011 20:10

Princess Cheese (found out it was a boy) changed it to Prince Cheese (v versatile name!)
Did let her have the casting vote on the final 2 choices - we're all pleased with his name (& no it's not Prince Cheese!)

pommedechocolat · 23/10/2011 19:44

DD1 calls the baby-in mummys-tummy 'Daisy' quite a lot. As in Upsy Daisy from In the Night Garden.

Could have been Makka Pakka!

DeliriousTante · 23/10/2011 19:38

Diego

Haribojoe · 23/10/2011 19:31

Suggestions for DS3, Daphne, Daffodil, Shaggy and Scooby.

Asked DS2 (3) what names he liked for DC4, Minty, Monty and Lightning.

mouldyironingboard · 23/10/2011 19:05

chicken-sausage (which has remained a nickname)

JambalayaCodfishDIE · 23/10/2011 18:47

I have a friend called Wendy, she was named by her big brother - he's called Peter.

stayforappledunking · 23/10/2011 18:45

Ds2 would have been pinkiepie had my dd had her way

GusTheOneEyedPolarBear · 23/10/2011 18:44

Ds (3.9) would like bump to be called bluey for a boy and brian for a girl. He did at one point suggest jake for a boy and i think we'll incorporate this as a middle name if the baby is a boy.

ChasingSquirrels · 23/10/2011 18:44

ds1 (at 3.5y) wanted to call the baby "Woof", when persuaded that wasn't a sensible name he wanted to call the baby his name, when persuaded this wasn't an option he wanted to change his own name so that the baby could be called by his name.

Actually, he did eventually name said baby.

onlygirl · 23/10/2011 18:43

DS wanted to call DD Princess Isabella. We never went for that but he does still call her princess[hsmile]

SurprisEs · 23/10/2011 18:40

Dumbo. It's her new favourite thing so I think she wasn't answering my question, just asking mento watch it again. She's two.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 23/10/2011 18:39

My first son named my second, he was 18 months and obsessed with Peppa Pig, so my second son is called George. And no, he would not have been Peppa if he was a girl.
