Liked but didn't use;

DS1 would have been Jasmine

DS2 would have been Anastasia

(Which, with hindsight, sound a bit Disney Princess)

I'd gone off both of those names by the time I had DD. She is not called Claudia. Grin

Tabitha.

Also liked Imogen, Willow, Meredith and Beatrice.

HenriettaMaria · 10/12/2013 17:35

DD1 - Elizabeth Frances

DD2 - Eleanor Sophie.

DS was supposed to be another girl according to the scan and we were all set to have Katherine Mary. That didn't quite go to plan. Smile

Other names I might have considered, if I had had any more babies, are Miriam and Naomi.

Theas18 · 10/12/2013 17:29

Umm guess LOL. She was 18 when I joined MN. She is older now and rather seems to have been a "trend setter" given how much the name is discussed here LOL
