As a child I thought Jacqueline was the most exotic sounding name ever!!

Now DD (not Jacqueline!) calls all her dolls Annabelle or Leandra ( Confused )

Lavinia and Virginia! Also anything that could have a z nn (Shaz for Sharon, Kaz for Karen, Maz for Amanda). And no, I didn't use them!

Yes I love the name Lavinia... especially with the diphthong at the end, so it's like Lavineea but with the stress on the 'i'. Lavinia was the name of the Latin princess who was the subject of the fight between Aeneas and Turnus in Virgil's Aeneid- so it goes back a long way! :)

I loved Jack, Gabrielle/a & Poppy. I have a Jack, no longer like Gabrielle/a & am considering Poppy for DC3.

Oliver was my absolute favourite name for a boy from the age of nine, until last year when I realised just how ridiculously popular it was getting, and suddenly found I didn't really like it any more!
For girls I used to like Molly-Ellen, Isobel and Beatrice. I also went through a phase of wanting to name a daughter Darrell after reading the Mallory towers series.

oooh I just remembered I used to have a doll called Skye as well after hearing it on Home and Away and thinking it sounded really slammin. Her 'brother and sister' were twin dolls called Lee and Leah.

Jessica. I remember begging my parents to call my sister (5 yrs younger) Jessica. They didn't.

I went off it for years but now am coming back round to the idea.. unlikely to use it though.

My dolls were called Julie, Rachel, Bonnie and Lucy

Not sure I'd go for any of those now......
