If you named your DC the names you loved most when you were a child, what would they be called?

Mine were recoils in horror

Boy- Chad/Guy
Girl- Bunny

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

CheeseatFourpence my actual DD is called DeeDee! We spell it differently though. It's a NN - her real name is Elodie. Just kind of evolved when the kids at nursery started calling her it, and it's stuck. I think it's cute

Camandmina · 18/11/2015 23:13

Balthasar. And Gabriel.

. To celestialuna... I remember that... My nana gave me a doll pre named Nanette Angelique. (I think) and I had to register her. And she had a birth certificate etc. It was creepy. I took her home. Put her into new clothes. And put her into a box. And shoved her under the bed
For girls. Jordana. Francesca

Girls - Laura after Little House in the Prairie or Alicia after a character in Malory Towers.

Boys - didn't bother with boys as I wasn't having one. All my dolls were girls with suitably girly names. Ended up with one of each though.

InQuiteAPickle · 18/11/2015 21:08

Oh, I liked Joe too but not Joseph. I LOVE Joseph now although if we ever had a boy it wouldn't go with our surname . No more babies for me anyway.

InQuiteAPickle · 18/11/2015 21:05

Jennifer and Rose for girls.
Ryan, Dylan and Aaron for boys.

As I got older I quite liked unique/made up names. As a teenager I probably would have gone for something like Moonshine-Sunbeam or something like that .

I think I read that one of the blokes from East 17 had two daughters called Atlanta and Ocean. I thought that they were awesome names.

They couldn't be further from what I called my two girls (boring run of the mill names). I still quite like my childhood names though, if I had another girl I quite like Rosa. I don't think I'd go for Jennifer as it's a bit "of my time". One of my friends at school was called Jennifer and I think that is why I liked it.

CoffeeChocolateWine · 18/11/2015 20:57

I've always loved the name Luke and this was definitely going to be my son's name...until I married a man whose surname sounds riduculous with Luke

For a girl, I loved Charmaine. Every Mummies and Daddies game I played when I was little I had a baby called Charmaine! Oh. Dear. God.
