If DD was a boy she was going to be Matthew Robin instead of Aaliyah Robyn.

ilovespinach · 24/01/2009 18:05

Grace for Ds1
Isabel/Beatrice or Elizabeth for ds2

Olivia - don't care how popular it is, I've loved the name since I was a little girl - even called myself Olivia for about a week when I was 7

Elin
(Annie-possible as middle name)

Tobias

Kara Anne would have been Jayden Lee (has meaning so saving it for next if boy-not preggers atm!)

If ds's were girls i would have called ds1 Phoebe-Sky and DS2 Hiedi-Louise.

My kids are 2 and 4 but thought i would answer anyway! lol

Greatsweetkittyothepuddingrace · 24/01/2009 14:22

Bit of a debate if DD3 had been a boy, I wanted Elliot, DP wanted Logan.

Bucharest · 24/01/2009 14:19

Patrick or Peter.

naturalblonde · 24/01/2009 14:18

If dd1 was a boy she would have been Zachary (Zach), dd2 would have been Theo or possibly Aiden

bixley · 24/01/2009 14:14

If a girl Josephine or Iris

katie3677 · 24/01/2009 12:01

DS (Douglas) would have been Imogen or Anoushka and DD would have been Finlay, Finnbar or Felix, but she is Liliana. Obviously not very decisive parents!

Northernlurker · 24/01/2009 11:53

Well my baby is 21 months old but I'm still going to answer. She is Beatrice Amelia but she would have been Benedict Richard. Dd2 would have been Peter Richard and dd1 would have been nameless because we were very stuck - and hugely relieved she was a girl!

sonniboo · 24/01/2009 11:52

If my dd would have been boy, Quentin.

littleboyblue · 24/01/2009 11:51

If we were told a girl it would have been either Freya, Isobel, or Addison
