I was pregnant in the late 80s, and had I had a girl, I was going to call her Jordan. I just thought it was the coolest name in the world. This was before Katie Price, obviously.

Eden for a girl Grin

For DS I would have like Malachi or Isaac. I wanted Tamsin ore Genevieve for my new baby but husband does not like either.

Baby girl on the way would have been Hattie. The boys all got names that I loved, we agree much more on boys names than girls names.
Although DS1 would have had much more thought put into his name (same name as his dad)

Had DS been a DD I wanted either Delphine or Elsa. I thought myself very generous for giving him an option of one or the other Grin. He vetoed both to my utter devastation, but it turned out to be a moot point anyway.

I can't complain though, I did get my first choice for both DD and DS.

Wow you had a long list!
Dd2 would have been Tyra or Leila although I had a moment when I wanted Desiree VERY badly
Dd1 we agreed from day one
