Would you still choose the same names for your DC's?

Particularly if you have older kids. I know some people deliberately chose more unusual names 10 years ago only for them to become massively popular a few years later!

I still love all my DC's names and actually although I didn't choose my middle dd's name (her Dad loved it and I gave in) but it really suits her and despite it apparently being hugely popular I don't know that many Jessicas.

I know a lovely girl named Brittany aged 13 but her surname rhymes with Spears (who wasn't known when she named her dd) so she regrets it now!

The girl and boy's name we chose for dc1 was the same, as in robert/roberta, daniel/daniella etc (not very good examples, but anyway). Actually preferred it for the girl's name, but we had a boy. DC2 was a girl, so should have waited and chosen another name for ds. Does that make ANY sense?

Yes - they are just pretty, solid sorts of names, although they have both adapted them in ways that we hadn't quite bargained for!

No, I would have named them all after flowers so I could say I'd got a bunch of flowers! Lily, Daisy, Poppy and Rose. Quite like Tulip apart from the tulips on your organ thing! Maybe Violet or Petunia.

Yes, I love the names I chose. But they are only 4 and 1 so there's time yet, lol.

I would definately still choose the names my dd and ds have.

DD is only 6y anyway but yes, I still like her name a lot and it does suit her.
