Children suggesting possible sibling names...

[Nataleejah]

My DS1 wanted DS2 to be Paul -- his cousin, the reason that name was taken... Now he wants names Jack and Ezio...DS2 wants Songoq

My dd actually named my ds , she was 3 at time and thankfully chose a normal name , sam.

My DS chose my DD's name too (from a shortlist of about 8 names). She is called Eva. His fav film at the time was Wall:E (...and Eva!) His other suggestion was Nina because it sounded like a fire engine!

My DD wanted Annie for a girl. We had a girl, and gave her a name that Annie can be a nickname for, IYSWIM. They have a lovely relationship with each other, DD1 was so chuffed that she got to name her :-)

My son, 3, is pretty sure the baby should have his name too. He can't see any major problems with this, but did reluctantly suggest Percy as an alternative

DS1 would name any future brothers Akira, for his best friend

My 3 yo dd1 chose Sam for our ds too. How v odd!

I blame Sunday School who were doing Samuel and Eli when I was nearly due. We went with it as it seemed a fitting name as this pregnancy was dearly wanted having lost dd2 in the middle and we were indeed thankful that our prayers were answered when he arrived safely.

My dd1 thought Bagpuss was a good name for either a boy or girl.

Mr DD1 chose the name for DD2. She had lots of friends called Jessica and liked the name. It went well with her name and we had nothing we liked better, so Jessica it was.

I did ask her what she'd want if the baby was a boy and she thought for a while, then announced, "Quincy." (Her Dad used to watch it at the weekends). :) :)

My 4yr old ds is adamant that our dd should be called Millie. Although we probably won't go with it, it is much better than his boy name suggestions of Ben (his name), Barry or Sully.

DS1 suggested all his friends' names, one after another. He was easily persuaded that eg we don't want to reuse an initial letter, not use a name of one of his cousins, etc.

He is delighted today with DS3's name so it all worked out fine.

I love Percy Tiredfeet my mum was v mean about it when I was pregnant which put me off and I had a dd anyway but I think I'll pop it back on the list when expecting #2.

3 yo DS is desperate that his sister will be called Lightning McQueen.

Astarael that reminds me that when I was expecting DS2, DS1 suggested James, Edward, Thomas, Henry ... Percy, Gordon, Topham Hatt...

DD wanted Ds to be called Britney Spears. We decided best not !

DS (2 years) has decided that baby (sex unknown) should be called George Dinosaur Time Out.

I don't think he understands the concept of baby naming.

Horatia who's Topham Hatt?? They haven't renamed the fat controller have they?

My sister chose my name and then lorded it over me as another example of her power that she had named me. Until I changed it when I was 7 :) (there were other reasons in my 7yr old brain too and still don't regret it!)

Dd's suggestion for my bump, if it's a boy, is lasagne

DS1 was adamant that DC3 would be called Percy for a girl or Gordon for a boy. He was 3 1/2 at the time. Luckily he was happy with what we eventually chose (Rory. Not after the Racing Car, but after the Doctor Who character, which is obviously far more sensible)

Ds wanted to call dd Digger.

I know of child whose sister chose her name.
,and is Maisie Dora, after the mouse and the explorer.

DD has vetoed all the names we had chosen for DC2 because they are names of her fellow nursery mates. She is 3 and has chosen Dominic out of a very long list we had. Not surprising as there are 85 kids at her kindergarten. The good thing is it's the only name that DH and I had agreed on:-)

And may i add that DC2 is a boy
