I'll go first: DD was very nearly Sapphire.

I also really wanted Twm for a boy (Welsh for Tom), but I am not Welsh! I just thought it was fab to have a name with no vowels!

Patience, it was vetoed, and dd was due just about the time that Roy and hayley on corrie were about to adopt that baby and they called her patience, I was furious. I wanted to call her after Patience Grey, who was an amazing food writer not a bloody soap opera baby

my grandad suggested 'stopher' short for christopher - we secretly quite liked it but ended up having girlies anyway.

Elvis (for cultural reasons, not because I'm a fan)
