DC2 is going to be named 'Abracadabra' according to DD (2.6)

Ds1 wanted to call ds2 'Three Piece suite'. When that was vetoed he suggested 'Car wash' instead. At least those names would have been non-gender specific.

Dd1 fancied calling dd2 'Freda'. We didn't run with that one.

"sixmonths" becausse I said we were having a baby in six months. It really stuck in 2 yr old's imaginination. Bump was known as six months from then on, and sometimes afterwards.

My eldest son used to say if we ever had a girl can we call it cauliflower!
But unfortunately for him i had 2 more boys and am expecting again and hes desparate for a little sister he wants to call her elizabeth grace which is suprising normal!(But im affraid if this baby is a girl it wont be called elizabeth!)

I know a child names by her older sister called, and she is Dora Maisy. Wonder what her influences were....?

Plumpy Doggle (it has kind of stuck). My sister would've been Eric if my brother had his way.

My son (3yrs, 4 months) has suggested Batman and Hula Hoops.

My daughter, who is nearly 6 yrs fortunately has similar taste to me!!

DS wanted DD to be called Action

and my current bump has been christened Virgil as he thinks it's a really cool name

ByTheSea · 27/08/2008 15:10

Icepop if a boy. Thankfully, a girl arrived.

DSD was definite that we should name dd after her mum, DH's ex-wife..... try coming up with straightfaced inclusive non-destructive responses to that one ten hours after giving birth....

(I think my actual response was "..Or we could call her Barbie ....")

I'm having a "sista" called FiFi. My nephew was called Nemo followed by his youngest older brother's first name (IYSWIM)

KatieMorag · 27/08/2008 14:59

barbie

for a boy of course

belgo · 27/08/2008 14:56

Hulababy - your dd has also got good taste!

wilkos · 27/08/2008 14:53

dss wanted james bond for our dc

SHE ended up being lily!

Hulababy · 27/08/2008 14:51

6y DD says is we have another baby the names should be either Emily or George apparantly.

southeastastra · 27/08/2008 14:50

probably ed, edd or eddy

scoopmuckanddizzy · 27/08/2008 14:49

My neice (2.9) says my baby will be a boy and we should call him Linda!

bigmouthstrikesagain · 27/08/2008 14:44

bonka or donka

JentlyDoesIt · 27/08/2008 14:44

DS was only 17 months when DD arrived so he calls her "sister"

My friends DS2 (age 4) wanted to call his new twin siblings (boy / girl twins) Lego and Dinosaur

sweetkitty · 27/08/2008 14:43

Rosie (DD1 was adamant DD3 was a girl baby called Rosie)

We also had Peppa too

I think we got off light considering her dolls are called Eyelasha, Fuzzball, Dashal, Oppsy Doopsy, Winky Doll (don't ask), Bath baby, Katie 1 2 and 3, Looba and Minga!

GooseyLoosey · 27/08/2008 14:38

Baby - it was one of the few words ds could say at the time and he has a very utilitarian approach to life in any event.

hattyyellow · 27/08/2008 14:26

Boxer. No idea why!

Or Billie - works for girl or boy and we don't know what this new DC will be yet so could be apt!
