Indigo Blue
Violet Skye
Sunny Rae
Sienna Rose
Posy Flo

(In that order)

I think Sonny Ray and Arthur Bear were the boys names....

I have 2 DS's with much less colourful names still holding a torch for Indigo

Alicia for a girl...no boys name as boys should all go in the bin according to my younger self 🤔

When I got pregnant it got changed slightly to Alice and found out at 20 weeks it was a boy!! I didn't put him in the bin though just to confirm 😁

Sammy-Jo. I thought it was so cool.

BadTasteFlump · 22/10/2017 22:41

Bronwen and Julian.

No idea why but I loved those names...

I was a strange child..

I was going to have 4 children in the following order:
Sarah Jane
Twins, James Welham Confused and Emma Louise
Octavia (Tivvy for short)

They were all going to be beautifully dressed from my mum’s Freeman catalogue. Grin

Rosemary and Anastasia.

And Frithany, but I think I made that up.

Bringmewineandcake · 22/10/2017 22:30

I was having twin girls - Innocence and Honesty Grin
In total I was having about 6 kids, each with 2 or 3 middle names.
In reality I have 2 girls, both with fairly normal names.

yomellamoHelly · 22/10/2017 22:30

Didn't ever have such dreams. My SIL however did call her first 2 by the names she'd planned. (Probably seemed quite out there when she was young. Not so much by today's standards.)

BonjourMeDarlin · 22/10/2017 22:26

Mercedes and Amani.
I thought they were classy names. Blush

Edwina

Phoebe
Vinnie

Still love Phoebe... but OH doesn't unfortunately.

TheQueenOfWands · 22/10/2017 22:20

I had a thing about rhyming names so thought I'd have a Holly, a Molly and a Polly.

All lovely names, but a bit much end masse.

MoanerChopsis · 22/10/2017 22:19

Meredith and Jebediah... I used neither but still quite like both!!

dontbesillyhenry · 22/10/2017 22:18

I also used to fantasise I was a really trendy fashionable popular girl (I wasn't) and my name - PERLANE 🙄

FairNotFair · 22/10/2017 22:16

Giles and Alice

Maverick66 · 22/10/2017 22:15

ineedamoreadultieradult · 22/10/2017 22:11

I wanted a bit called Ryder and a girl called Veda.

ShangriLaLaLa · 22/10/2017 22:10

I wanted to have a girl called Jordan and my best friend was going to have a girl called Jordannah. Eons before Katie Price was a celeb. Neither of us went with it, thankfully.

I wanted four DDs:
Beatrice
Primrose
Florence
Clementine

I have 5 DDs and some of those names are included between first and middle names!

TurquoiseSongbird · 22/10/2017 22:04

I wanted Kai for a boy, after the little boy in The Snow Queen. I remember reading about his long frozen eyelashes and being captivated by this image Grin

I wanted Felicity for a girl, from Malory Towers, St Clare’s or something Enid Blyton. I had such a romantic image of this glamorous girl and thought that one day I must have my own! 😂

For myself, in a crisis only known to teenagers in their most awkward phase, I wanted to be called...Spider..... Confused Yes, I know.... thankfully I stuck with what my mumma gave me!

DryIce · 22/10/2017 22:03

Twin girls named Dawn and Dusk.

Dawn, of course, would be very fair and Dusk was to have raven black hair (I also read Anne of Green Gables a lot...)

Sometimes I would worry that I would name them the wrong way around as infants and now terrible that would be

May50 · 22/10/2017 22:03

Shannon, Chelsea, Jasmine, Amber and my favourite Tia-Maria !

LilyPondFrog · 22/10/2017 22:01
