And have you ended up using any of those names?

Yes, I used the names I chose in my teens for DC 1 and 2. Luckily DH liked them too.

Henry and Imogen.

Only have DD1 so far and she is not Imogen, although I did consider it and would think about using in future too.

If I ever have a boy he will definitely be Henry. I struggle with liking many boys names.

Rosie and Phreddie - lol

Funnily enough, if I had boy/girl twins tomorrow that’s probably what they’d be called (although F rather than Ph spelling).

I always thought I'd have a big called Joshua, I never even thought about using it when I was pregnant! What about you?
