... where they were conceived, what would they be called? (Light hearted obvious)
Lots of Celebs do this and non-celebs I guess.
Mine would be Reading

Bed

I actually know what my own name would have been (parents volunteered this information a long time ago, I did not ask for it Envy )

Caravan-with-Uncle-Paul-in-the-next-room

Glad they stuck with a slightly more traditional name...

@Nixen

Another baby Reading here! 😂
Big up the Reading Babies. Haha. One of mine would technically be Whitley... not sure if that's better or worse ..

Morocco (more specifically, Agadir)
That's a nice name

Chelsea

Which is actually really pretty name for a girl (and I had a girl)

Same for DD2.

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 22/08/2020 21:28

If were talking technicalities then DS would either be Lower Early or Tilehurst. DS2 would be Cemetery Junction Grin

EmmaJR1 · 22/08/2020 21:29

Riviera Maya (DS) and Kent (DD) if they were swapped around it could have worked!

PaternosterLoft · 22/08/2020 21:30

I can't work out if Cemetery-Junction or Newtown works better though Grin

Livingthecovidaloca · 22/08/2020 21:30

Petri dish!

TinyMetalBirds · 22/08/2020 21:32

Hackney, and to save giving them the same name, his brother London Fields.

Cornishmendoitdrekkly · 22/08/2020 21:35

Devon and Helensburgh

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 22/08/2020 21:35

Wall and en-suite

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 22/08/2020 21:36

@PaternosterLoft

Newtown sounds slightly better I think. At least it isnt the name of an awful film Grin Plus Cemetery Junction has a rep which Newtown doesn't seem to. (Even though they are the same place Grin)

Paris. The Vegas casino, not the city. Would have been handy for twins - Paris and Vegas.

Hepzibar · 22/08/2020 21:37

Bandstand

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 22/08/2020 21:38

Our youner ds would be Futon. Youngest DD went by the name of Breeze until she was born because the combination of Bacardi Breezer and antibiotics left me more susceptible to DH's advances.

pasteldechocolateconchispa · 22/08/2020 21:39

Chertsey and DD2 Osterley

Spanglebangle · 22/08/2020 21:43

If I went for the names of the roads I would have Wilberforce and Rock!

Tidypidy · 22/08/2020 21:45

Bed, exercise bike and sofa.

orangenasturtium · 22/08/2020 21:46

Minster-in-Thanet
Dahab
Lisbon

I guess we could have gone less/more specific with the locations:

Kent (county)
Asalah (village)
Linda (-a-velha) (suburb)

At least those are real names, but they aren't much better and one of them is the wrong sex.

I hadn't actually considered the fact that none of them were conceived at home. We weren't actively trying for any of them (tracking ovulation etc), just leaving things to nature, so I guess it makes sense two were conceived on holiday.

GinWithRosie · 22/08/2020 21:47

DC1: Stoke-on-Trent (nice bit of triple barrelling 😉)

DC2: Tenerife 😂

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 22/08/2020 21:48

@Tidypidy

Bed, exercise bike and sofa.
What, how? No don’t tell me. 🤭
GinWithRosie · 22/08/2020 21:49

@Tidypidy exercise bike??? 😱 😂😱 I am in awe 👍
