Soon going for frozen embryo transfer for DC2.

So this is completely hypothetical at the moment and are chatting for names.

Girls:
Morgan Lily
Nellie Grace (nn Nell)
Orla Jane

Boys:
Morgan James
Rowan James
Frankie James

(James is a family name)
Again this is just for fun at the minute!

So what I'm asking basically is what names did you LOVE but didn't use?

Fritha for little girl. It just didn't sound right with our surname.
Benjamin for little boy. Believe it or not, it was quite unusual at the time, and nobody seemed keen. Within a few years, there were many little Bens around!

I wanted Jesse for my DS1..dh veto-ed it. I still regret not going for it as it would have suited him! Mind you he's marrying a Jess , so maybe just as well....

I wanted Gabriel for DS2... I'm glad we didn't use it... but wish we had used his middle name (Emmerson..a family name) for his first name!

I got my girls names right :D

I've never heard of Fritha before but I think it looks so pretty written down!

Is it pronounced Fritha or Freetha? (Sorry if that's really naive)

I'm not sure we'll have any more DC (already have 2 DSs) but my hypothetical/imaginary DDs would be called Matilda Lucia and Aurelia Xanthe

Autumn for a girl and Woody for a boy. I'm a very 'safe' person and they were just too out there for me despite loving them!
