If they were the opposite sex

I had dc twins - who turned out to be boys

But our girls names were Poppy and Daisy

First of our friends / sibling group to have DC so one told us that Poppy and Daisy were the naughty twins in Ben and Hollys little kingdom Blush

If we'd had a girl her name would have been Danica. We knew we were having our son and used a nn for him during the pregnancy. We were looking at boys names then one day, we realised that the nn is an actual name and a great name so we used it. We christened him the full version of the name but he has always gone by the nn.

I liked Jack, dh liked Daniel.
Jack and Daniel might have sounded a bit alcoholic.

I knew of someone who had a daughter called Tia-Maria. I kid you not.

DS would have been Naomi

OliveTheaBough · 06/07/2024 23:46

my 1993 Alexander would have been Rebecca.

My 1996 Jennifer would have been Calum

EmmasDilemmas · 06/07/2024 23:50

Sebastian if just one of my DDs has been a boy.
If both had then the younger one would probably have been Alexander or Caspar.

NineChickennuggets · 06/07/2024 23:53

Felicity and Elizabeth

wheresthebigcarrot · 06/07/2024 23:57

My boys would've been Clara and Robin.

Normallynumb · 07/07/2024 01:22

I have 3 sons
Girls name was always Alice

lolly792 · 07/07/2024 07:42

Ds1 would have been Eleanor.
Dd is Eleanor but would have been Theo
Ds2 would have been Isobel (and isn't Theo as we'd changed our top name by then!)

CurlewKate · 07/07/2024 07:45

Any boy we had would always have been Patrick, for family reasons. He came second! If he had been a girl too he would have probably been Aislinn or Rowan. Or Margaret known as Meg.

In Glasgow?

ShiftySquirrel · 07/07/2024 07:52

We could only agree on James (known as Jimmy mostly).
I also liked Ted.

But there were numerous disagreements about boys names, so luckily for our marriage we had girls!

mumonthehill · 07/07/2024 07:55

Ds now 23 would have been Hebe. Ds now 17 would have been Aurelia.

In Glasgow?

No, unfortunately in the city in which I was born and still live - Liverpool.

CoffeeChocolateWine · 07/07/2024 11:33

DS1 would probably have been Megan or Isabel.

DD1 would have been Ethan although I wasn't a fan of it. We agreed after I chose DS1's name that DH could use his favourite name if we had another boy but we didn't.

DD2 wouldn't have been Ethan as it was too similar to DD1's name. I think our top name was Tristan although a friend had a Tristan only a few weeks before I was due so there's a fair chance we would have changed.

RuthW · 07/07/2024 12:04

Adult dd would have Frederick George Steven. This was a time when there were no Fredericks or Georges under the age of 70.

Tralalaka · 07/07/2024 12:15

My 2 DS’s would have been Evie, Libby or Sadie. I don’t do long names for birth certificate for the sake of it

DD would have been James

thaegumathteth · 07/07/2024 12:16

Shannon and Darragh.

Jeezitneverends · 07/07/2024 12:18

Andrew and Kirsty

GrandmasterGlitchsMoustache · 07/07/2024 12:20

My eldest two DS would have been Rose and Matilda. We changed our plan for the girl's name second time round which I wasn't expecting us to do.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/07/2024 12:21

DS1 would have been Maia. I didn't particularly like it but DH was keen so I gave in as we couldn't agree.

DS2 would have been Imogen. My choice and still my favorite girls name.

TulipTuesday · 07/07/2024 12:21

DS1 was going to me Megan or Erin

DS2 was going to be Daisy

HMTheQueenMuffin · 07/07/2024 12:22

Naomi and Emily. (Ds 1 was born in 2009 and DS2 2011)

Although when DS2 was about 5-6 I read the name Leveret on a MN thread for a girl and fell in love with it. Thankfully for everyone involved I did not have any more children.

caffelattetogo · 07/07/2024 12:25

Alexander
