Jocasta or Persephone for DD
Hamish or Barney for DS

Didn't end up using any of them but at the time I loved them.

Rosalice. I liked the mash up of Rose and Alice. Don’t know what I was thinking, it’s horrible 😂

My eldest son would’ve been Gael, I was reading a book with one in it at the time.

DD was nearly Chelsea - DD is very grateful I changed my mind about it.

DS1 was nearly Red (I saw the name Red Buttons on the end credits of a TV show and loved it)

Ophelia. Still annoyed I didn't call her that.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 30/08/2021 16:36

DS1 would have been Taylor-Ray
DS2's name was decided at our first scan and never changed.
