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!!)

Dh nearly passed out a couple of years back when his 80-something mother casually informed him he'd have been called Chester if he'd been named after his place of conception!!

It's beautiful isn't it. Erica is the only name DH and I liked when choosing one for a girl.

Goodgolly - My daughter's middle name is Erica - I love that name.

GoodGollyMissMolly · 24/05/2008 12:57

DD is actually called Erica May, I think it would have boarded on child abuse if we had called her Grimsby.
