DD would have had the same name if she had been a boy. I picked her name when I was totally convinced that she would be a boy. The name I had picked for a girl just didn't suit her. The name she has is a boy's name, but it's so unusual and suits her so perfectly that it's fine. Only one person has ever said 'Isn't that a boy's name?' Most people just comment on what a beautiful name it is.

ds1 girls name was Grace
ds2 we knew he was a boy from early on, but had Poppy in reserve

DD... I have no idea as we could only think of girls names and had already used the only two boys names we liked for DS!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 18/03/2009 21:19

DD George
DS Agnes

dd1 would have been Abraham
ds1 would have been Jean
dd2 would have been Moses or Linus
ds2 would have been Dorothy, Enid or Juniper,

I think i would still use all of them except for Moses, as Gwynneth Paltrow had her Moses about a month after i had dd2 and it has ruined the name for me now.
