on a search dd1's has been mentioned about 10 times in baby names and dd2's about 7, both in the same thread, on a "niche" theme. very little opinion on either, although dd2's does have a lone champion.

their middle names crop up a little more often, dd1's as a "how could you too cruel" old lady name, dd2's as an increasingly trendy name particularly for 3rd or later children when all caution/marbles thrown to the wind

DS1 yes

Ds2 no

Oooh get you Cali, all flowers and barefeet

winestein · 29/05/2008 22:45

Not often if at all! (I have a dim recollection of once by one person)

It's a Teutonic name so not popular in the UK, although I have to say there are a few people on MN who profess to love it.

Once or twice for both of them I think.

DD's name 'was posh once but isn't anymore' and is 'a name that is suitable for an adult but can be shortened to sound nice for a little girl'.

bluenosesaint · 29/05/2008 22:43

Dd1 and 3's name have been mentioned a few times. They don't get much of a reaction really, a few have said they like them whilst others think they're boring and 'safe'.

Dd2's name has been slated at times, but also others love it. It certainly provokes most reaction.

yes. but usually on the boring / traditional name threads.

southeastastra · 29/05/2008 22:40

yes, hector was gladly received iirc.

mamalovesmojitos · 29/05/2008 22:39

couple of times but as it is irish people are recommended not to use it due to difficult spelling/pronunciation.

as i live in ireland that is not a problem!

DS1's occasionally - people either love it or hate it.

DS2's often - people think it's a good, sturdy traditional name or they think it's dull (but they call their children Peaches and Cockring, so fuck 'em).

yes DS1's was a few weeks ago with someone saying something along the lines of

XXXXX I mean is that a real name......

evenhope · 29/05/2008 21:54

DD1's name has cropped up quite a bit recently (but she's 22 so it doesn't matter if there are suddenly hundreds of them). More worrying is DD2's name keeps being recommended. I picked it because I didn't want her to be the 3rd child in the class with her name.

fishie · 29/05/2008 21:54

rarely, last week though. it is a fraught topic. baby names, not ds.
