I loved Ocean for a girl. Like PP, didn’t consider boys names!

Paige for a girl and Kurt or Kyle for a boy...was 16 in 2000.

Hadassah or Oona. A boy would have got Mirek or Eric.

Faith. Definitely not a fan now!

Joshua for a boy - I've always loved the name and we did use it for DS

knottsberryfarm · 12/05/2023 06:29

Christopher, Cathy, Cory or Carrie.

was obsessed with flowers in the attic at that age

WordtoYoMumma · 12/05/2023 06:27

I wanted twins called Bonnie and Jovi 😁

PerryMenno · 12/05/2023 06:27

Jessica. Always Jessica. All the cool girls at school were Jessica, plus there was Sweet Valley High.

I didn't think of boys names because I would only be having a daughter.

(I have 2 sons, no daughters Grin)

Virginia! So fresh, so green, so leafy, so wild. I liked the actor Virginia McKenna in Born Free and thought her name was very cool.
Strangely, when I was about 25, two colleagues spontaneously started calling me Virginia. "You don't look like a (my name), you look like a Virginia," they declared.
They'd be most amused now to meet my DD, named Virginia! Still my favourite name, and it suits DD so well.

I distinctly remember telling the manager of the Saturday job that I had that I if I had a daughter she would be called Magenta. 😂

2reefsin30knots · 12/05/2023 06:01

Dante or Jade. I had them written down in a notebook- I can see it now.

DC is not called that.
