Gabriel and Jesse.
I love the names we gave but I’ll always love these x

Oneonetheracehorse · 26/03/2022 00:57

Atlanta or Atlantique. I'm not a footballers wife though so couldn't use them.

Also I love Raphael but we have the most British sounding surname, it would sound ridiculous! And I hate Ralph or Ralphie so would insist on the full Raphael being used everytime Grin

Im not sure if you were kidding @PukkaP but either way Hovis is an amazing name!

Tallulah. Was desperate to use it but we definitely aren’t posh enough to carry it off!

@Changechangychange…that’s a real shame that you think that the name is tainted because of the hospice….imagine having a child there . Demelza is a name and the hospice was obviously named after an amazing person with that name!

1000yellowdaisies · 26/03/2022 00:03

Rainbow for a girl... i didnt use it as it felt a bit hippyish but secretly wanted too :)

@RiverRats

I went with very unusual names, but my two favourite boys names, Moses and Mowgli, were vetoed. Tbh my children have names less common than those though
Less common than Mowgli? Confused

I would have loved a Diggory, but DH says he thinks Diggers is more suited to our next puppy.

I love this name. Was going to be my sons middle name but clashed with his first name.

One of my favourite names is Florian. But only if it's said in a French accent.

My husband is scouse Grin can you imagine a little scouse Florian?!
