Was thinking if I had gone with my second choice names my kids would be called -

Sophie, Nathan, Scarlett, Riley and Lacey.

Still like my kids names but I have 3 daughters and regret not calling one of them Sophie just really love that name put me off as was so popular when I had my eldest.

Aidan and Esther. Still like Esther, glad we skipped Aidan, it's really popular here just now.

Dylan and Evan

BeautifulStars93 · 19/06/2015 21:25

Daisy and Daisy lol.

She would have been Saoirse Rose but the name I chose instead is so romantic, French and theatrical! Smile

If she was a boy she would have been called Simeon Cain. Very strong name.

Cressida, Dominic, Helena, Idris/Griffith (their actual names are only marginally less poncey!) ... with dc1 & 2 we went with my first choices and with 3 & 4 we went with dh's & 5 years later I much prefer the names he picked for the younger two.

mkunga100 · 19/06/2015 08:34

Mine would be Jared, Seth, Caspar, Jemima and Soloman.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 19/06/2015 07:29

I would have Joseph & Chloe.

Both lovely names but I still prefer our first choices!

Jennifer and Amber.

Actually, we DID call DD1 my second choice, and DH's. He wanted Jennifer Middlename, and I wanted Alexandra Middlename. I almost went with Jennifer... and then changed my mind as we both liked the one we'd picked for the middle. And it suits her perfectly - strong and to the point!

Persephone and Araminta - thank God the anaesthetic wore off and DH saw sense. He chose the names while I rolled around high as a kite on the morphine.

Still wish I'd called DD2 Zara though, but it was vetoed as he said we are not naming our daughter after a shop.

I laughed and suggested CostCutter shortly afterward birth but at that point, it may have been the drugs Wink

Love the name Stella, always thought people might assosiate it with the beer though especially as thats the beer of choice in our house :)

Emily & Theodore

Emily was our no.1 choice until two weeks before DD was born when we discovered her name & decided it was much less popular & therefore more interesting. Theodore was never really an option because we had agreed on our favourite boys name years earlier & was never going to be swayed away from it.

MrsBungle · 17/06/2015 18:36

I would have a Niamh and Keir

Strokethefurrywall · 17/06/2015 18:33

Holy Shit Alyx80 do you know me?

I actually have a Carter and Sullivan!! I've never met anyone on mumsnet who even likes these names! Grin

Second choice for Carter was Elliott or Brandon, second choice for Sullivan was Lachlan.

shitebag · 16/06/2015 22:19

Leo and Amber.

Astralabe · 16/06/2015 22:04

Winnie and Caspar

JasperDamerel · 16/06/2015 18:26

Caspar and Juno.

alyxlndn · 16/06/2015 18:23

Nathan and Luca, still love both names, but I prefer their names now. If they would have been girls they would have been Iris and Anastasia.

Purplehonesty · 16/06/2015 18:05

Thomas and Anna

VenusVanDamme · 16/06/2015 18:02

Daniel and Orlaith if he'd been a girl. He doesn't look like a Daniel and looks even less like our other boy names.

SmileAndNod · 16/06/2015 17:06

Charlie and Emilia (twice). So glad DH made me sense with our pfb. He definitely doesn't look like a Charlie. I got to choose the girls names, but still wonder if Emilia would have suited them better...

GlitzAndGigglesx · 16/06/2015 17:00

I really wanted to call dd Chloe. I still love the name

llamajohn · 16/06/2015 16:52

Matthew, Adam and Charlotte would have been Adam, James and Grace

MarjorieWinklepicker · 16/06/2015 14:30

Caitlyn, Harry and Bethany.

I hate them all now so luckily we didn't use them!

tomatodizzymum · 16/06/2015 14:29

Amelia, Mateus, Yara and Olivia.
