Always wanted and expected I'd have a girl called Lottie (Charlotte on the birth certificate) after my beloved 'adopted grandmother'.

Ended up with a boy but without realising it at the time named him after another dear family friend who worked closely with Auntie Lottie and is buried next to her. Was only when my Dad said 'oh, after Uncle X' that the penny dropped - dh and I had just thought we liked the name!

I would still love to have a girl called Lottie, though.

Noah, Elizah and Livia

Ds2 would have been Sophie Charlotte. We were so convinced we were having a girl we never thought about boys' names.

dd1 George

Bumperslucious · 07/03/2009 11:52

dd1 would have been Rory
dd2 would have been Rory
dd3 would have been Rory

there will be no dc4!

incidentally, there are 14 years between my girls. We have masses of boys in the family so we spent ages looking for a suitable boys name for first child, not too wacky/not already used that we could not have gone through it again!

Wigglesworth · 07/03/2009 11:28

DS would have been Chloe Louise or Ashleigh Rae.

serenity · 07/03/2009 11:22

Both DS1 and DS2 would have been Anastacia (greek pronunciation, so ana-stas-ia) can't remember what middle name we would have had.

We knew DD was a girl from the 20 week scan, so no boy first names, but the middle name would definitely have been Leonidas.

katz · 07/03/2009 11:17

oh and DD2 would have been Rueben Thomas

katz · 07/03/2009 11:17

that could have been quite strange hula as DD1 would have been Oliver Thomas! DH was quite looking forward to watch little Ollie playing Cricket for England!

Hulababy · 07/03/2009 11:14

DD would have been Oliver Joseph

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 07/03/2009 11:12

DS would have been Eve
DD would have been Tom

They both have entirely different names to that though.

RedOnHerHead · 07/03/2009 11:12

DS1 would have been Mair Beatrice
DS2 would have been Éowyn Rose

nappyaddict · 07/03/2009 11:09

Oh yes Florence, Araminta, Claribel, Arabella and Anabella were on the list too

frazzledoldbag · 07/03/2009 11:04

DD1 - Hamish
DD2 - Munro
DS1 - Annabel
Boo, I really want an Annabel.......
(and I don't THINK we'll use either of those boy names for DS1). Might just call him Annabel!

Pannacotta · 07/03/2009 10:58

Florence and Martha

nappyaddict · 07/03/2009 10:55
