We found out yesterday that I'm expecting a girl and we were discussing names last night. 3 year old DS wants to call her The Grand Old Duke of York Grin I don't think we'll be going with that one.

When I was 5 I wanted to name my baby sister “Jelly Tots” after my favourite sweets!

Our kids would have named a baby the same mane as them 😂

Some of the kids on this thread have given some pretty good suggestions tbh.

We’ve just found out DC3 will be a boy, DS2s suggestions so far
Jamie (his own middle name is James)
Oliver (technically his brothers first name although he’s known as Ollie)
Muhammad (great name if we were Muslim)
Dante (just no)

DS1s suggestions have been far more acceptable

DD was 3 when I was pregnant with DC2. She insisted she was having a sister. Whilst the baby was in my tummy she wanted her to be called Ruby and when she was born she was to be called Georgia. When DS was born she said she was ok with a brother but didn't like his name. We asked her what she would call him thinking we might use it as a middle name. She never came up with anything!!

My DC1 was insistent that his baby sister should be called Sarah. No idea why but she was Sarah to him until we introduced them when she was born. He got used to calling her her actual name eventually & has named one of his toys Sarah instead!

When I was pregnant with my second, my 4 year old wanted to name her Maisy-Linda 😂

This time she says if it's another girl she likes Emma-Lee .... I don't think that'll be used lol

DS1 wanted to call his brother and sister Thomas James and Percy after the bloody train.

DD wanted her brother to be called Fox Boy. She was only 22 months Hmm

My sister wanted me to be called Pepsi when she was 11. I, at the same age, tried to convince her to call her son Cosmo Grin

My daughter would probably name her younger brother Poobum. Or similar. Not helpful sorry. She does also like Gabriella though! Gabby for short.

DD 6 calls her baby sister Morag (after the old lady on the direct line advert) Her name is not Morag, but she answers to it Hmm

Elmo230885 · 05/02/2019 14:03

Poop... But my DD isn't quite two yet. Also we don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl, I'm not sure Poop would work for both!
We've got a couple of months to think about it... ... Maybe as a middle name?

BellaGoth · 05/02/2019 14:02

When I was pregnant with DC2, 3YO DS told anyone who would listen that he was having a baby sister and her name would be Poppy.

Everyone believed him so we ended up going along with it! It really does suit her though.

Well your DD definitely has better taste in names than my DS, not sure about Gilda though.
