Names you regret not giving...

[DogCalledRudis]

Ours is Victor (after Victor Jara) and Glenn (after our favorite neighbor)

Giselle. Was vetoed.
DS1 was Fergus,until MIL made a screwed up face and DP vetoed. My boy waited five weeks for a name after that and the one he was given in the end was not even on my final list of 20.
Jacob
Daniel
Rueben
Nathan
Patrick
All names I loved, none of them used.

Zoe was my favourite name ever but DH hated. DD grew up with a Zoe as a role model, told us one day she wished she'd had that name... Spooky ... Over to Dad to explain...

DS2 I really wanted to be a Charlie :( -
Emily and Ava for the girl I was convinced DS2 was going to be :)

Stanley.
It's the dogs name instead (it does suit him to be fair!)

Still feel slightly cheated out of Martha for DD but surname would make it too cartoon like :(

Mike....
But just as well, as our surname is Hunt
:)

Rufus.

DH vetoed it. And DS2 is red haired.

Oh and DS1 should have been Toby.

But he's a Jacob. He doesn't look like a Jacob. He looks like a Toby. Still annoyed (15 yrs later)

DD was going to have a literary middle name, but ended up with fully Welsh name start to finish so to even it up, if we have another daughter she'll end up something like Bronte Auden

Atticus and Emmeline - now saving them for future pets

Iris and Sebastian

Daisy and Ruari

Daisy and Ruari

Daisy and Ruari

No offence, but PLEASE no-one consider Gilbert!!!

Still sad I didn't use Rosabelle or Primrose as a mn for DD.

DS would have been Blythe if he had been a girl.
Absolutely love his name though. We hadn't really thought of it until he arrived and it suits him perfectly.

Tabitha- my OH hated it, but I still love it. What's more our DD ( now 14 ) said she would have loved it too.

Elsie - I love it, OH didn't.

Elijah. We went for v boring traditional English name instead

ds1 - got his name, took me the whole pregnancy to persuade H, but ot my own way.

ds2- should have been Jasper or Ryder

dd- should have been India or Phoebe

Was going to call dd Blythe then mum said it sounded like blight. Argggghhh! That doesn't even make sense!

I'm over the name now only because I love so many of them. Love Teagan and Vera!

Unfortunately I only got into the Greek myths after all my dcs were named
Ds1 would have been Icarus
DD would have been Io
Ds2 = Hercules

DS Alexander, wish I'd stood my ground.

Ivor. Only thought of it when DS was a few weeks old. Not to everyone's taste I'm sure, but I love it and it would have suited him.

Esther.
