I know that not everyone thought about this when they were a child but if you did what names did you love then, and did you use them?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

When I was a small child,

Jasmine and David (quite conservative really)

When I was a teen,

Septimus Darwin and
Julia Cordelia (was having a big Brideshead Revisited phase)

Don't like any of these now, possibly apart from Septimus (and now I have an Octavia!)

Pele. Met a Hawaiian woman named Pele and she was such a beautiful person. Really strong, but gentle and thought I would name a girl Pele. Never did....
