Would you use the same names if your were naming now?

Without a doubt, I'd chose the same again. Classic names, not fashionable (I.e. overly popular) but not unfashionable either iyswim, just lovely timeless names.

Hard to say. I like their names but with each successive child we haven't used the reserve names. So our reserve for the first was Audrey, had he been a girl. Then we had a girl but didn't call her Audrey. I think the boys name was victor but we weren't decided (I was sure we were having a girl). Then we had a boy but didn't call him victor.

Now I'm pregnant again. The girls name for the last one was Roxanne. I'm not sure we will use it if this one is a girl, although I love it.

DC1 is 6 months old, so yes

I think I would have pushed harder to have one of my name choices for dd1. I chose her middle name and I still like that for her first name because it is classic and timeless (and one I've loved since I was a little girl). Also, I remember looking at her in her crib when she was about 8 days old, and another name for her struck quite intensely. I look at her sometimes now and think 'that name would have really suited you!' Even so, her actual name is very pretty It was a compromise between DH and I but it took me about 2y to really warm to (she's 7yo now).

I would keep dd2's name but would not choose the same middle name. Sounds nice but it's too popular.

We are ttc dc3 and I am adamant on a boys first name. There is leeway for compromise for another girl but I won't over-compromise again.

Yes, I think. There is another name that I vaguely thought about but for some reason rejected. Sometimes I wish I had thought about it more and used it because I really like it. It's not dissimilar to the name we chose tbh. But overall, yes happy with our choice. Haven't met another with the same name yet.

Ds1 yes definitely, but probably not ds2 and ds3.

Gabriel is gorgeous name. I can't use it though. I would if I could though.
I've never understood the Gabriel and the Gabrielle confusion. No one seems to get confused between Daniel and Danielle for example.

I'm not sure I would and it's only been two years since I chose it.
DS is called Gabriel, at every appointment we go to he gets called Gabrielle and younger people are too lazy to say it right and just call him gabe-rool
I still love his name... When it's said right.

14 years ago when we named DS1 his name was pretty rare, we got a few raised eyebrows.

Now it's really popular, and dare I say it, a bit 'chavvy'
I do still love the name, but I think the popularity might've put me off.

No. Both my son's names are nice names but a little too popular for me. The result of a compromise between me and my husband., who have totally different ideas of good names

No I can't stand my daughters name now. I really wish I'd have thought more about it. I mean its a nice name as far as names go but just no longer to my taste, and her name does suit her.

Yes, but I'd have a think about the spellings. Our ds's have names that work in both English and Polish (they have a British and a Polish parent), and they all have the Polish spelling. I'd think about that nowadays.

Yes, even after 11 years of laments from DS that he never sees a pencil set, door hanger etc with his name on it.

I think so - there weren't many that DH and I could agree on tbh, so unless one of us has changed our views massively we'd probably go for the same names again

I have 2 sons and a daughter, all in their 30's
Would still use the same names now

Hmmmm tough one.

My daughter's name is classic but I still like it....doesn't suit her though...she is more unique and alternative.

My son....again I still like His name but it has become very popular and faddy I think so no I probably wouldn't choose it now....

Yes I would, for all three of my boys.

The only name I might rethink is DS1's middle name, though as it turns out he likes it.
