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

I have a DS and a DD

When DS was born he was going to be a Samuel or Samantha

We knew DD was a girl because I had an amnio so we only had girls named picked out, but I do like Sebastian for a boy.

purepurple · 15/05/2010 09:27

Instead of Sam and Alice I would have Charlotte and Lewis.

Shodan · 15/05/2010 09:22

Ds1 - Melissa

Ds2 - Sophie Charlotte.

Can't remember what ds1's middle name would have been, but there definitely would've been one.

Nolda · 15/05/2010 09:21

George
Annika

MegSophandEmma · 15/05/2010 09:05

DD1 James William

DD2 Benjamin Luke

DD3 Douglas Robert

Nemofish · 15/05/2010 09:04

Either

Eli (my vote)
Sebastian (dh's vote)

or more like

Brayden.

To be honest I find boys names reeeeally difficult, and those three are the least bad ones we could think of.

Fortunately dd was a dd, we always thought she was so she was named as soon as we had the scan confirming it.

Sorry that was a really long and silly answer!

Both of my boys would of been Freya if they had been girls. Still love the name and am now trying to subtly push it into the boys brains for when they might have children

bluejeans · 15/05/2010 08:57

Daniel. Still like it now and it's quite unusual (round here anyway) which DD's name isn't!

nooka · 15/05/2010 06:47

Same names just the other way around. If dd had been another ds, then she would have been Richard Ezra - she was Ezzie as a bump.

Bumbleconfusus · 15/05/2010 04:42

DD would have been Jugurtha, we are still hoping to have a wee Jugurtha in future though to play with DD

florence2511 · 15/05/2010 02:35

Barnaby

Firawla · 15/05/2010 01:47

ds1 would have been zinnira or inayah
ds2 would have been zinnira or zayana
probably...

PricklyThistle · 14/05/2010 23:01

DS would have been Kaetrin or Mirren.
DD would have been Magnus (DH's choice - thank goodness she was a girl)

AccidenToryOnPurpose · 14/05/2010 22:39

Thomas, Hannah and Felix. Although, Felix because it went with what the RL names actually are, so if I'd had a Thomas and a Hannah, s/he would probably have been Toby (the other option).

We play this game sometimes with the dc's though - a sort of alternative universe thing, where I say, 'what would I be doing now with my two lovely sons and my daughter Hannah?'

They aren't as weirded out as you'd think...

bibbitybobbityhat · 14/05/2010 22:33

Theo and Daphne.

maltesers · 14/05/2010 22:29

DS 2 - Alice
DS 1 - dunno
DD - Edward

Cicatrice · 14/05/2010 22:28

DS would have been Isobel. DH thinks he would have been Eve but he is soooooooo wrong.

I really thought that DS would be a girl. We spent ages deciding ( and arguing) over girls names and virtually no time at all on boys.

SoMuchToBits · 14/05/2010 22:28

Ds would have been Isabel Jane Alexandra

He is Jonathan Alexander

epithet · 14/05/2010 22:25

Dd1 - Ciaran
Dd2 - Joe

CantSleepWontSleep · 14/05/2010 22:25

Dd would have been Elliot Patrick.
Ds would probably have been Felicity.

mydoorisalwaysopen · 14/05/2010 22:24

ds1 - zoe
ds2 - anna

CrankyTwanky · 14/05/2010 22:21

DD would have been Charles.
DS1 would have been Celeste.
DS2 would have been Celeste or Mirabelle.

iwasyoungonce · 14/05/2010 22:19

Ned and May.

MNHubbie · 14/05/2010 22:18

All 3 DSes would have been Alexandra Mary Grace if they'd been girls.
