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?

I can't remember thinking about boys' names, but my girls would have been Lucinda, Jemima and Cecily.

I was a Beatrix Potter fan.

DD's middle name is actually Jemima.

For years a baby boy was going to be Kale.

I honestly didn't know it was a leafy green

Nikkinoo77 · 17/11/2015 21:01

God no...my poor son would've been called Tarquin! Although eldest has the same name as school crush!

CharminglyGawky · 17/11/2015 21:00

Rosie and Tom, and I still like them now!

WitchSharkadder · 17/11/2015 21:00

Naomi and Samuel.

Not bad, really, although I haven't used them.

ICantSpellNoffink · 17/11/2015 20:59

Emerald
Oskar, Ludwig or Jan (Yan)

SausageSmuggler · 17/11/2015 20:53

Didn't have any boys names (yuck!) but girls were Sally and Stephanie.

David Martin - my brothers' two middle names

Charlotte - from Charlotte Web
Laura - from LIttle House on the Prairie
Sabrina - from Charlie's Angels (Sabrina the witch spoils that name)
Betty. - named after family friend (ahead of the granny chic trend)
Janet - as for Betty

Have two boys, neither have the name above, but that's only because I married someone with one of the names.

Pippi after my favourite book Pippi longstocking.

And no consideration for boys names as I was absolutely not having smelly boys. I now have two rather pleasant smelly boys, who love cuddles

xalyssx · 17/11/2015 20:38

Petunia and Mephistopheles.

Vanillaradio · 17/11/2015 20:28

I was going to have triplet girls Belinda, Fenella and Rosemary! No way was I ever having a boy (looks at ds!)

CheeseAtFourpence · 17/11/2015 17:28

Girls names only: Lois and Deedee!

Pigeonpost · 17/11/2015 17:25

Felicity. Never thought about having a boy. Obviously I have all boys.

patterkiller · 17/11/2015 16:42

Girl - Scarlett, big gone with the wind fan
Boy - Andrew, imaginary friend.

Minion · 17/11/2015 16:35

Boy-Aiden
Girl-August and Pandora

MyNewBearTotoro · 17/11/2015 16:31

Girl - Sophie, Aisha, Chloe, Chelsea, Tiffany, Gabriella, Felicity

Boy - Like MaisieDotes I thought all boys names were unnecessary.

waxweasel · 17/11/2015 16:22

Girl: Letitia, Bethany or Kristen (bit of a range there)
Boy: Aaron, Johan or Isaac

eatpuddingdrinkwine · 17/11/2015 15:35

Pamela , Stacey or Belinda
Hector or Angus

CelestiaLuna · 17/11/2015 15:14

'Officially' named my cabbage patch dolls Jack and Isabella so was clearly ahead of the tread ?? My children's names will be popular in 10/15 years time ??

IoraRua · 17/11/2015 15:03

Girl - October Rose
Boy - Matteo

Matteo is alright, October Rose though... :D

LauraChant · 17/11/2015 15:01

Gary and Samantha
Or Troy and Christelle.

MaisieDotes · 17/11/2015 15:01

is what I thought at the time^

MaisieDotes · 17/11/2015 15:01

Girl- Karen or Louise

Boy- all boys' names are equally boring and pointless

Katiekatiekatie · 17/11/2015 14:59
