What is your all time favourite girls name that you didn't use.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Cressida. It clashes with our surname. I also love Celestine - same problem with that one too!
We nearly called DD2 Astrid - that's still on the list if we ever had a DD3.

I loved Scarlett when I was expecting DS1 and again for DS2.

Tabitha and Clara. Am very happy with our final choice but I loved those two names as well.

So many....

But I think it would have to be Christabel

olivia

really didn't suit ds

Ella and Martha.

They didn't suit either of my girls and then I had a boy.

Enid.
I'd love a little Enid but DH wouldn't allow it with DD, we then got a DS and it didn't suit him so we have a dolly called Enid!

Ds1 would have been Elsa (before Frozen ruined it), and DS2 would have been Holly.

*introducing, not interdicting!

soundsystem · 22/12/2015 20:15

Artemis. Really wish I had. I can't for any future DD's as if it was shortened to Arty it's very very close to the short version of DD1's name. (So close that it would sound ridiculous interdicting them together).

Actually, my all time favourite name is Hermione but then Harry Porter happened..

Beatrice
Ottilie
Oriele
