What would your children be called if they were named after where they were possibly conceived?

My future baby could maybe be 'Alora' if it is a girl, or maybe be 'Holt' if it is a boy.

(OK, so they might also just be called 'home', but I tried to think of where else I'd been in the weeks around that time!!)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

i was conceived in Poland, a total accident after too much vodka, as my family so gleefully told me

MrsJohnCusack · 26/05/2008 08:57

both would be Whitton, or Twickenham.
or sofa

My daughter was conceived in the ninth arrondissement of Paris... so she could be called Pigalle . Not sure I really want to remember that time/place, we were not at our best/happiest.

My cousin's daughter's second name is Fidji... for the reasons in the OP.

we have joked that bump should be named Paris as were we there for the rugby world cup when it happened.

Boston

dull and uninspired

Chandon · 26/05/2008 01:32

mine would be called:

Districto Federal (or DF)

and

Oaxaca

...I used to live in Mexico for 5 years. Not sure these places would work as names!

....not sure ANY place names work as names!

(if my parents d doen this I would be called Copenhagen)

I've been thinking about it OOPS. I think it would be a nice name for a girl - not sure about a boy though... maybe because Sennen sounds a little like Sienna ( isn't there an actress called that? )

I think it's a pretty name actually!

Not very impressed with some of the answers on here!

Not very imaginative are they? I don't mean the actual location i.e. bed, floor etc... but that not many have tried to make a proper name out of the locations, like the OP started to do... or the post about Sophie, as was conceived on the sofa... I'd have called a DD Sophie if the deed happened on a sofa, what a great idea!!

Aphrodite (as in Cyprus) I quite like it, but is a bit exotic for our family

ds would be "MIL's'

DD would be quite offensive so wont add it

susiecutiebananas · 25/05/2008 23:44

Madrose how? where? when? who was the patient?

zazen, love it, 'on top' ! god, that opens up a whole other ball game, if we're also adding in positions!

ravenAK · 25/05/2008 23:38

Whitby or possibly Barcelona for ds (back then we used to have 2 weekends on the lash on the trot )

Then Bed1 & Bed2 for the dds.... I suppose they could be Purpleduvet & Blackduvet or something...

madrose · 25/05/2008 23:36

city hospital room 19

zazen · 25/05/2008 23:35

melpomene · 25/05/2008 23:14

(she's actually named after a city we visited on holiday a couple of months before she was conceived)

dd2 would be Cherry

pud1 · 25/05/2008 23:10

Joscie · 25/05/2008 22:47

DS - Amsterdam
DD - Northsea (somewhere between Hoek van Holland and Harwich)

PerkinWarbeck · 25/05/2008 22:45

DD would be Peckham.

babalon · 25/05/2008 22:42

Oxford- town wear conceived, dd eeekk
Oliver- Rd that we conceived in ds1
