Playing the hypothetical baby name game

DP and I have been playing the "if we had a baby tomorrow, what would we call it?" game... Today we reckon it would be Dominic Ezra for a boy, or Norah Grace for a girl.

Does anyone else do this, and if so, what would your hypothetical babies be called?

I have always loved Freya or Megan for a girl. For a boy I like Hugo, Noah or Rowan.

Jago Peter

I love Hayley, Isadora, Ivo and Rory too.

I love this game.

Our hypotheticals, that will probably be, are:

Beatrice Elizabeth and Frederick Peter.

My several other imaginary children are called Audrey, Martha, Everly, Alba, Rupert and Lucas.

Ilovewheelychairs Clara and Edward are my two favourite names! Although I'm having a little boy in 5 weeks' who will be Edward!

Reuben and Conrad.
Eleanor and Katelyn.

DP hates my girls names Angry

Felicity Grace
Edward George

I want another baby!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 08/04/2015 20:14

Anna for a girl.
For a boy not sure. DP wanted Gabriel if we're blessed with a boy but I cant use it, so the jury's still out for a boys name.

My DP will play. Which is how I know we can't agree on anything!

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 06/04/2015 21:43

Hugh Percival for a boy
Audrey Hazel for a girl

Oh I love this!

Caroline and Henry.

Apparently I'm having a middle aged couple Smile

Number666livesaMrMIller · 06/04/2015 21:36

DH Will never engage in this game..

Today my imaginary twin girls (conceived after a lottery win, nice new big house) are called Athena and Romily.

Their little brother, conceived approx three years later will be Henry Rowan.

My older dc join in with me and regularly 'change' their given names!

ArgentinianMalbec · 06/04/2015 21:29

DP won't play either Sad My girls name is Kitty (Katherine) and Theo for a boy. Maybe Teddy for short.

Snowberry86 · 06/04/2015 21:21

My DH won't play this game.

My hypothetical babies are Philappa Hope and Issac Henry.

MaudeTheMopLady · 06/04/2015 21:17

Today I'm going with Maude and Lucian!
Last week it was Georgie and Willoughby

hippoherostandinghere · 06/04/2015 21:11

I play this regularly in my own head. There's is no way DH would ever engage in this with me, he barely engaged when we were naming children for real.

Today I have decided my imaginary twin girls will be called Isabella and Arianna. Not sure of MN's, possibly Poppy and Lily respectively.

Boys are harder but I like Cameron and Dylan today.

Quasilulu · 06/04/2015 06:45

Wish we could decide on the real baby never mind the fictitious ones Hmm
