What did you call your dcs?

I'd love to know,rather bored,what Mumsnetters have called their dcs if you love their names and are willing to share.

It'd be appreciated if this could be a criticism free thread. I'm pretty harsh with names myself at time,but this isn't the thread for it.

Dosent hurt unless your planning to emigrate I suppose.

Might even be bull I'm not well versed in French but I found it rather funny!

Étienne is indeed a French form of Stephen. The feminine form is Étiennette.

Mine have lovely names but are more commonly known as
"Stop it", "Put that down" and "Please don't eat that!" Grin

DS is Harley. I absolutely adore his name but do sometimes worry if I made the right choice due to the criticism it receives.

I have a nephew called Harley.

It gets a slating on here but I think it's a lovely name.

Natasha, Rebecca, Matilda, Isabella and Abigail

The only one I have any regrets at all about is Isabella but only because there are so many of them.

Mine are Ellena, Elias, Ethan and Emin. The 1st 3 'E's were completely accidental, the last one just had to be!
