I would of had Ben, Gregor, Anna and Iona.
Feels very wierd as we don't have any of these names.

Pheobe Megan, though if I had a girl now would probably be Florence.

MamaLazarou · 16/05/2010 20:53

Ah - another PG Wodehouse fan, I see! We considered Honoria for a girl, until my brother pointed out that it rhymed with gonorreah.

bobbiewickham · 16/05/2010 20:15

I think ds1 would have been Molly.
DS2 would have been Imogen.

Also liked Daisy. DC3, the child that didn't happen, was Daisy

MamaLazarou · 16/05/2010 20:11

Dorothy or Alberta.

RustyBear · 16/05/2010 20:01

DS would have been Victoria, but DH had gone off that name by the time DD arrived & we called her something else. If she'd been a boy, she might have been James, but we hadn't really decided - it took us 5 days after DS was born to decide on his name.

Sophia Claudia

McDreamy · 16/05/2010 19:59

Harry Olivia and Matthew

toccatanfudge · 16/05/2010 19:58

DS1 would have been Zoe Yananai
DS2/3 would have been Alexis Yananai

YunoYurbubson · 16/05/2010 19:56

I would have had an Oscar and a Clementine.

But dc3 wouldn't be either of those names.

letsblowthistacostand · 16/05/2010 19:53

DD1 - John
DD2 - probably Henry but DH refused to discuss names until we had the 20 wk scan so never really picked a boy's name.

scoobychocolate · 16/05/2010 18:37

DS would have been Leila or Libby. Really love the name Violet now.

treas · 16/05/2010 17:56

DS - Lowri or Betsan

DD - Aled, Ioan or Owain

SE13Mummy · 16/05/2010 17:54

DD1 would have been Jonathan Philip, DD2 would have been Jude Michael.

MamaVoo · 16/05/2010 17:04

Eve. I'm glad we had a boy though as there seem to be Eve's and Evie's everywhere at the moment (sorry SirBoob).

FranSanDisco · 16/05/2010 16:43

DD - Jack
DS - Holly

SirBoobAlot · 16/05/2010 16:38

Evelyn - Evie for short.

weegiemum · 16/05/2010 16:30

Dd1 would have been Matthew
Ds would have been Madeleine
Dd2 would also have been Matthew (we changed our minds with ds!)

I now some people might now go but I'm quite glad ds wasn't called Madeleine now. He is about a year older than Madeleine McCann and I wouldn't have likes that association for him, especially when he is so young.

oldspeckledtam · 16/05/2010 16:21

DD would have been Abraham

DS would be nameless. There are NO girls names that H and I agree on.

mayanna123 · 15/05/2010 09:36

DD1 would have been Quentin
DD2 would have been Benjamin

TigerFeet · 15/05/2010 09:34

We found out the sex at 20wk scan with both dd's so never really discussed boys' names

But in my head...

dd1 Jacob Robert

dd2 Joseph (Joe)

purepurple I know siblings named Charlotte and Lewis
