My little brother would have been MichaelCycle had our then 3yo brother got his way.

DD (5) says a good name for the baby sister she wishes me to produce would be Heart Pony.

DD wanted to call DS Rainbow (whether he'd been a girl or boy).

I guess that would have been fine if we were hippies who wore tye-dye clothing and lived in a teepee

NatalieJane stranger things have happened. My first boyfriend Bill had a brother called Ben and two other brothers called Tom and..... Jerry.

Seriously.

DS1 (called Thomas) wants to call DS3 Jerry.

"Tom, Jerry, time for tea......." Methinks not.

Ds has actually named Ds2 (unborn). I asked him if he preferred Bartholomew or Toby and he said, "I like James." Since dh and I can't think of anything we like better, James it is.

3andnomore · 28/08/2008 14:36

es wanted to call ms Liam...but dh didn't like it. But it is one of ms's middname

TinkerBellesMum · 28/08/2008 13:01

We've already got Jake (DSS) and Bella (Tink is Isobel) I think this is a girl so we could go all the way and have Fizz!

I've not noticed the names before, although Tink does get excited about Jake (she loves her brothers).

LuLuBai · 28/08/2008 10:59

Aaaah - but really any, except perhaps Fizz, would be fine wouldn't they?

I would have liked Milo if we had a boy but DH vetoed it (maybe he is more au fait with The Tweenies than me?)

Fimbo · 28/08/2008 10:50

LuluBai - it's the Tweenies! .

She was 5 when ds was born and grew up with the Tweenies (they came out when she was about 2)

Ds2 wanted to call ds3 Percy. When we told him that actually his name would be xx, he said, "That's lovely. You all can call him xx and I'll call him Percy"...fortunately it only lasted a couple of days.

LuLuBai · 28/08/2008 10:32

That's not too bad Fimbo. (or am I missing something - are they in a tv programme?)

I just asked DD (nearly 17 months so didn't think she would come up with anything constructive).

She said firmly: "Billy". Well yes, but that is the cat's name. (and my first boyfriend )

Fimbo · 28/08/2008 10:03

Girl - Fizz or Bella

Boy - Milo or Jake

Swedes · 28/08/2008 09:59

DS1 wanted to call DS2 Bunty, even when he turned out to be a boy. In fact, while I was in hospital (for a week) after the birth of DS2, DS1 told everyone that he had a new baby sister called Bunty.

I quite like Daffodil actually Toot

Apparently DC2 will be Candyfloss if a girl, and Sleep if a boy.

Based on my experiences with DD, I feel Sleep might be taking irony a bit too far.

TooTicky · 27/08/2008 22:46

Ds1 wanted to name dd2 Daffodil.

Linnet · 27/08/2008 22:46

dd2 would have been called Star if dd1 had got her way. I actually liked that name and if I'd been brave enough would have pushed for calling her Star.

cece · 27/08/2008 22:44

Booby would have been nice and alliterative with our surname!

Booby or Umbrella
