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!

Anna Katerina Neve for any DD of mine. From when I was about 12 Blush...

Have 4 DSs, always knew sex v early on, so never thought about girl's names much beyond result of CVS @ 10 weeks.

DD would have been Samuel or Isaac. Current bump is a boy, but if it had been a girl we would've used Eloise.

DD would have been Jamie (I wasn't really that keen it was more dh but would have gone with it as couldn't come up with anything else, still not overly fond of it, apologies to any Jamie mums out there).

DS would have been Eleanor Jayne or Ailsa Jayne (still like both those names, but feel now Jane is lacking in imagination for a middle name and dislike the spelling of it with a 'y' with a passion, don't know what on earth I was thinking).

DS would have been Nikita. Still like the name but don't know if I'd chose it again.

DS was going to be Laura and DD was going to be Michael. I still love both those names but did not want to use Laura for DD because I wanted to come up with something new for her.

Both DDs would have been Sonny Robert, although I absolutely 'knew' that DD2 was a girl so didn't really discuss boys names. Prob wouldn't use it now, times and tastes have changed an' all that Grin
