What names did you nearly choose for your DC's? Would it suit them now? Is it the same style as the one you chose?

DP is 3 months pregnant and we have a few set in stone, wondering if by 9 months we'll choose something completely different!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ds1 was almost Marcus but we finally decided on Paddy, which I love. It's a family name, and really suits him.

DD was going to be Rosa. Then she popped out and for some reason i just knew she wasn't a Rosa.
She is Rebecca now so not too different.

DD2 was going to be Annabel Sophia throughout my pregnancy. I can't imagine her as an Annabel. When Annabel was eventually rejected with did toy with Charlotte (nn Lottie), and I could really see her as a Lottie.

I also think she suits her actual name.
DD1 was always going to have her name.

DS1 was very nearly called Steffan. Which does suit him, and isn't dissimilar to his actual name, but I am glad that I didn't choose it as there are 4 of them in his (small) school whereas he is the only one with his name

With DS2 I had only actually thought of girl's names! So it took us a few days to think of one.

With DD we had decided on her name quite early on, and stuck with it.

DD1 could have been Grace which would have suited her or Charlotte which really wouldn't have. I like her name still, DC2 and DC3 Dh and I named our absolute favorites so no regrets there.

Another going to be Charlotte or Abigail or Rebecca, She ended up Rebecca but I think both the others would have suited her.

DS was always going to be Samuel.

When ttc we always had Daniel for a boys name. He was Daniel up until near end of pregnancy then we thought of Thomas and loved it.
He is definately a Thomas and It actually goes better with middle name. So glad we didn't go with Daniel, though I still love the name.

My eldest was going to be Loki all the way through my pregnancy. My mum created such a fuss about how much she hated it, we changed our minds in the delivery room.

As he got older, it was so obvious that it was 'him' iykwim. He now says that he wants to call his son Loki if and when he has children

my DD was Hannah right through the pregnancy but a friend had a DD a few weeks before i was due and called her Hannah so we decided to change it

i am glad though as she just is a Sian hannah doesnt suit her at all!!
