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

My brothers hospital tag has the name I picked for him on it I called him
Julifer Elton Chuck and he kept that name for a week

ds1 was too little but my niece decided he should be named Prince Eric. A bit too much of the little mermaid I think.

My neice wants her new baby brother or sister to be called Oompa or Dora!

Mamazon · 27/08/2008 14:08

Abigail. I think he hd a bit of a crush on her at school.
when he got a MALE rabbit and we asked what should we call it he said Abigail.

when he was naming his male teddy he named it abigail.

everythign was abigail for months.

we did let dd1 chose as we couldnt decide she had two names in mind sophiebunny2 after he bunny or millie. i dont think i need to tell you which we went for.

my neice wants to call her new brother either thomas, james or percy! methinks she watches too many train cartoons

saltire · 27/08/2008 14:07

Little Bill,
or Magenta (from Blues Clues)
Poi(not sure of the spelling but DS1 loved her when he was younger
Dizzy
Pat or Jess

Those are the suggestions Ds1 had for DS2 before he was born

dd1, aged 4, cried because we wouldn't name dd3 her own exact two names.

Jesus !

fridayschild · 27/08/2008 13:36

Portland (after DS1's favourite bear)

this is quite cute, but not a patch on Bob the Baby

LynetteScavo · 27/08/2008 13:34

DS1 wasnted DC2 to be Jamie - for a boy or a girl. Was never going to happen, as DS1 is James. Funnily enough, DS2 now pretends he's called Jamie.

Jbck · 27/08/2008 13:33

Chloe or Sparkle (knew it was a girl) we went with neither

scorpio1 · 27/08/2008 13:32

Jessica (ds, 6)

or Ruby (ds, 3)

MuffinMclay · 27/08/2008 13:29

LOL it would be another Bob or Wendy here.

belgo · 27/08/2008 13:28

My dd1 has actually got quite good taste in baby names, despite being only four. She's chosen 'Emily' for a girl, which I like but we're not choosing

Iklboo · 27/08/2008 13:26

DH's brothers chose his name. He was going to be called Christopher but BILs persuaded MIL to call him what he's called now

(and it's a lovely name)

pagwatch · 27/08/2008 13:24

ROLF at Bob The Baby

pagwatch · 27/08/2008 13:24

Dumper.
As our surname begins with a D it would have been quite .... cute?
DS1 actually did name DD though. He was 10 by then so not so strange

WheresTheAuPair · 27/08/2008 13:17

tractor!

mrbojangles · 27/08/2008 13:06

buzz!
You may well guess his favorite film!
Woody was his second choice

purplemonkeydishwasher · 27/08/2008 13:04

DC2 will be Superwhy or just Baby. but it's definitly a boy according to DS (or actually this morning it was a boy AND a girl)

Bella73 · 27/08/2008 13:01

DD1's suggestion was Wabo-Abo (we're assuming about the hyphen and spelling as she was only 14 months when we asked her but she repeated it 3 times so it was a definite suggestion).

StealthPolarBear · 27/08/2008 13:01

Well so far DS's (16mo) favourite names seem to be "Jorj" and "Gob-ty"
Lol at BOB the baby!

oopsadaisyangel · 27/08/2008 13:01

DS1 wants to call this baby Blaze if its a boy!
