I think mine would be

ds-Otto

dd1-Mabel

and

dd2-Ida

they would have bloody suited them too, though we'd have been laughed out of the playground

Archie

Freya

Will

They aren't because DH guffawed at Archie (oooh Eerrchie), I only started loving Freya a couple of years ago, so too late for DD, and Will gets 'shortened' to Wullie up here in Scotland - so no to that.

Exactly what they are called. Who dissuaded you from your first choice of names?

HungryHungryHippo · 11/06/2008 20:44

DTD1 - Keturah
DTD2 - Germaine

DD3 - erm, dunno. DH chose her name cos i couldn't decide!

Do you mean if life were different and you could really call your child whatever you wanted without ridicule or judgement??

Oak (boy)
Willow (girl)
Rowan {girl)
Ash (boy)

Noah and Kitty

I don't have a girl but left entirely to my own devices she would have been called Genevieve. Very ponce-tastic

DS1 would probably stay as he is.
DS2 would have been Benedict. Also a bit poncy.

Ben and Gena for short - a bit more manageable.
