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

Michelle (after Michelle from Full House)
Lauren
Anna (still love this one)
Nicole
Stephanie
Lindsay
...basically any "cool girl" name from the 80s (excepting Anna). I'm in the US, btw.

I don't think I had any favorites for boys

SuperScribbler · 18/11/2015 12:08

Shanna for a girl and Ruark for a boy - I had a thing for Kathleen Woodiwiss bodice rippers back in the mid-80s!

FrostyRose · 18/11/2015 12:05

I actually only had boy names!

  • Joe (a boy I fancied in Primary School)
  • Alex (the boy from Home Alone 3)

Agent Crystal was on my list also, although I was toying with the spelling Krystle.

Helenluvsrob · 18/11/2015 11:10

Naomi and Benedict.

Still think they are good names

Agent160 · 18/11/2015 11:07

Girl - Crystal Confused

Boy - Rick or Todd

Classic, timeless name choices there!

DeepBlueLake · 17/11/2015 23:13

I was going to have 3 daughters called Ella, Chloe and Indigo.

Plus a DS called Noah.

Only have Dses but neither are called Noah.

StormBraver · 17/11/2015 23:09

I was going to call my daughter Summer, Aurora or Termah. I think I made Termah up! Grin

Tirfarthoin · 17/11/2015 23:03

Girl - Jemima or Josslyn
Boy - Dorian or Jolyon

GrouchyKiwi · 17/11/2015 22:18

Ryan
Siobhan (i'm not Irish)

YolandiFuckinVisser · 17/11/2015 21:46

Martha & William. I still quite like these but didn't use them in real life.

elliejjtiny · 17/11/2015 21:37

Emily and James when I was little. Then when I was about 10-12 and a big fan of neighbours I was going to have 2 girls and call them Charlene and Annalise. Didn't use any of them although DS4 has a neighbours name.

crumpet · 17/11/2015 21:25

I know an Abigail and Dominic

babyblabber · 17/11/2015 21:25

Sophie & Chloe.

And I now have a Sophia and a Chloe!

And DS who, like others, I never imagined as a kid but thankfully got him anyway!

billygoatscruff · 17/11/2015 21:24

Lucy. I too didn't consider having a boy!

Oreocrumbs · 17/11/2015 21:21

Another one here who never even considered having boys Confused

So my three daughters were going to be called Jessica, Zoe and Chloe.

The name I have given my one real life daughter is nothing like those though.

Was also going to run a florist with a riding school attached at the back and have seven school horses named after the 7 dwarves and a couple of fancy warm bloods for myself called Snow White and handsome ...... Where did it all go wrong? Grin

BooOzMoo · 17/11/2015 21:19

Mark or Toby!!!! I wasn't going to have a girl!!!!
I did have 2DS AND 1DD

SoWhite · 17/11/2015 21:17

Sparkle and Hades. I was that kid.

My actual name has been mentioned here Smile

insan1tyscartching · 17/11/2015 21:17

boy Rasputin or Cheyenne
girl Shylowe or Misty Blush

ooerrmissus · 17/11/2015 21:15

I was going to have triplets, called Giles, Miles, and Piles.

Strangely, I haven't used any of those names.

QueenMolotov · 17/11/2015 21:13

Abigail and Aaron.

thegiddylimit · 17/11/2015 21:10

Feel very smug because I was going to call my daughter after my grandmother and.... called my daughter after my grandmother.

Her sister was going to be called Anastasia (I was obsessed with the Romanoffs). Her sister is not called Anastasia.

I was quite keen on Richard for a boy and still like it (although DS is not called Richard). I may or may not have had a crush on a Richard in my class at the time...

FattyNinjaOwl · 17/11/2015 21:10

I had no boys name. DD would have been Elizabeth. As it is though she is named after my mum. Elizabeth was going to be DC3s name had he been a girl though. I will never be able to use it now.

GrouchyKiwi · 17/11/2015 21:06

Dominic and Abigail.

And I would still use them if DH wasn't such a spoilsport.

(I love our DDs' names.)
