We hadn't picked names until we knew the sex.

DS would have been Niamh Elizabeth
DD1 would have been Luke Jesse
DD2 would have been Samuel Nathan

for dc4 for a boy we are leaning towards samuel nathan again or for a dd would be either isabel or alice I think.

If a boy, she would have been Alexander George

DS1 was always a boy - I knew from the outset and my suspicions were confirmed at scan so we didn't even look at girls names.

DS2 would ahve been Amy, Rebecca or Carrie.

DD1 would have been a Haydn (wouldn't use that name now though!) and DD2 would have been an Edwin or a William (or both!)

BakewellTarts · 24/01/2009 18:51

If DD1 had been a girl Arthur...actually same goes for DD2. Like Shubiedoo I'm a little sad I'll not get to use my boys name, even though I'm delighted to have 2 beautiful girls.

helenhismadwife · 24/01/2009 18:47

FrannyandZooey · 24/01/2009 18:16

Dulcie

weetimerousdizzybeastie · 24/01/2009 18:16

DD1 would have been Corin or Caleb
DD2 would have been Roan
DD3 would have been Reuben or Cassius
DD4................ not bloody likely!

cece · 24/01/2009 18:15

DD would have been Sam or Jonathan

DS would have been Thea, Althea or Alathea.

Divineintervention · 24/01/2009 18:12

If he was a girl..... Posy

shubiedoo · 24/01/2009 18:11

Expecting dd1 in three weeks--let's hope she really is a girl, she'll be Claire Yvonne. But if this had been our third boy, he would have been Shane Everett. I actually like the boy name better, and am a little sad we won't ever have a Shane...

MrsMattie · 24/01/2009 18:10

A boy would have been Liam, probably, although I was pushing for Oisin. Middle name would have been Nelson after Mandela, it being his 90th year last year.
