Mine would've been Mary-Elizabeth for DS1, Harriet for DS2 and Christabel for DS3, although I hate Christabel now!!! No offence to any DM's of Christabel's!

Ds1 - We picked out Edith Frances or Evelyn Frances for a girl and Jack Alston or Issac Alston for a boy. Dp told everybody his name was Ethan Alston and I didn't much like it.
Ds2 - We had no names, but I love his name, especailly his nn.

DS would have been Elise, Eloise, Lydia, Sylvia, Miranda, Imogen or Beatrice -we really couldn't decide on girls' names.

DS1 would have been Irene (pronounced the pretty way, DD got it as second name)
DD - gawd knows, I was determined to have a girl, found out at scan and made no plans for boys names. Jackson maybe or Hal.
DS (who is neither of those names) would have had some bohemian preposterousness like Gudrun or Hedda or Hermione, he got off lightly

Not telling - might have to use my boys' name in a few weeks :)

(Am I odd for not really wanting to though - it's my DD's name, even though obviously we didn't use it for her! Just feels like it's her property IYKWIM Confused)

DD1 would have been Elliot
DD2 Gabriel

DC3 is either Miranda or Franklin - Franklin is a family name on DP's side, they're descended from Sir John Franklin, I'm not wild about it, but do get why DP wants it.

DH really wanted Jim for some reason. I didn't and still don't love it but I'd have probably gone with it I suppose as he was keen.
