What would you DC be called?

My partner had her heart set on Scarlett for upcoming DD but I couldn’t be swayed no matter how hard I tried to like the name.

For a boy - Leo. I used to be a nanny for a boy called Leo who is by far the most, difficult? child I’ve ever come across in 31 years of living so I just couldn’t shake it 😅

My DH spent many happy hours browsing the baby names book. Snow Daisy was one he found, and Schmoopy. Mind you DS, who was 3 at the time, wanted to call the baby Sock.

DS’s dad wanted to call him Jedi or Summer if he was a girl. I’ll let you guess what the surname was..

DD’s dad liked Mordred and Morgana

I was lucky, mine didn't have any suggestions of his own and just agreed with everything I suggested, so I was going to win either way Grin

Gary or Steve. FFS this was not in the 80s

Can't remember for boy. For our dd, he rang parents and announced her name before we had finished discussing it. (He chose the one I didn't want). Could be worse though, his frontrunner for 6 months (in the 2000s) was Stacey.

Jack or Sophia

Winston or Nelson for DS and Genghis (?) for DD - before we knew she was a girl.

GreatestShowUnicorn · 10/08/2020 23:28

Chelsea or Ashleigh

Spike. Hmm I can't remember what he suggested for ds2.

HerRoyalNotness · 10/08/2020 23:17

Nameless. He had no opinions or suggestions at all, much like everyday life

MyPetPegasus · 10/08/2020 23:15

Emma and Jack.

We did get Emma, but our boy is not called Jack. Not to my taste at all.

Shmithecat2 · 10/08/2020 23:14

They did. And I'm still not sold on ds' name nearly 5 years on... if I'd got my way, it would have been Matthew or Gideon.

CornedBeef451 · 10/08/2020 23:12

If DH had chosen we'd have Padme and Samuel.
