DS would have been Grace - had no idea at the time how popular it would become.

DD would have been Liam if DH had had his way, or Oisin if I had had mine

Tillyscoutsmum · 18/03/2009 18:28

DD would have been Fergus or Barnabus

Sally was also a contender before I knew DS was a boy.

Raahh · 08/03/2009 16:01

DS would have been Millicent (Millie) Elizabeth, which i then used when I had DD- had no ideas for boys names for DD- DH wanted Sumner (!), went into my 20 week scan with everything crossed that I was having a girl!!!

DS spent his pregnancy being called Boo and would have been called Harper-Lee. But She was a boy and is called Edgar

largeginandtonic · 07/03/2009 13:38

I can't remember them all but one of the twins was going to be an Erin and the latest baby (dd2) was going to be Wolf Alexander if she was a boy.

I think dd1 was going to be Linus.

piscesmoon · 07/03/2009 13:37

Sarah, Louisa and Elizabeth

janeite · 07/03/2009 13:32

I have two girls but had they been boys they would have been:

dd1 - Laurie
dd2 - Rowan

If I had a boy now he would be called something along the lines of Gabriel, Benedict or Barnaby with Laurie (or Laurence)or Rowan as a middle name I think.

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 13:14

names I love but Dh wouldn't see past them were

Herbert nn Herb or Herbie
Hugo
Gabriel nn Gabe
Gilbert nn Gil or Bertie

god I need to have about 6 more kids to use up all the names I like
