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!

Orlaith. I still love that name (but not enough to try for a girl Grin

bluebump · 28/06/2011 17:06

DS would have been Thea, he's a Theo instead!

Insomnia11 · 28/06/2011 17:09

Henry/Charles Peter and Arthur John maybe.

TwoNoisyBoys · 28/06/2011 22:18

DS1 would have been Seren Lily, and DS2 would have been Lily "something"......... we couldn't decide on a a middle name, but found out that he was a d 's' at the scan anyway, so didnt have to have any further blazing rows discussions Grin

DD would have most likely been an Aidan Neil. I wanted Angus but DP said no, but I am determined that it will be top of the boys list next time!

clemetteattlee · 29/06/2011 00:13

DD would have been Isaac Oliver.
DS would have been Edie Matilda. I lve this name so much I even contemplated having another go at getting a girl ... For about 5 minutes!

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.

Quenelle · 01/07/2011 11:28

Lola. I wouldn't choose it if I had a girl now though.

msbuggywinkle · 01/07/2011 12:03

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.

Trinaluce · 01/07/2011 12:58

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)

DamselInDisarray · 01/07/2011 12:59

Orlaith and Aiofe.

BibiThree · 01/07/2011 12:59

D1 - Eli
D2 - Gruff
D3 - Isiah

JemimaMop · 01/07/2011 13:06

DS1 would have been Ffion Medi, DS2 would have been Manon Fflur and DD would have been Efan Llyr.

Adair · 01/07/2011 13:13

Dexter, Ariadne and Capella

RantyMcRantpants · 01/07/2011 13:24

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 01/07/2011 20:37

Ds would have been Eva
DD would have been Edward

MerylStrop · 01/07/2011 20:39

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

Flaneuse · 01/07/2011 20:40

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