What baby names did you "just HAVE to" use when you were pregnant that you were talked out of, and realise now are awful?

I was desperate to name DS Sirius, or to at least use it as a middle name, when I was pregnant. At the time, I was really upset that DH wouldn't even consider it and instead, every time I brought it up, would reply "Sirius-ly?". I'm so just relieved that I didn't tell anyone else this was the name I wanted to use so didn't have to face a load of Hmm faces! Grin

Charlotte was my girls name for my ds. Still like the name but wouldn't use it now for royal reasons.

Dd was going to be Rose all through my pregnancy, until I ran it past my mum who thankfully pointed out that it probably wouldn't be great choice considering ds is called Alfred known as Fred!

I have also seen several people seriously considering the name 'Ottoline' for their unfortunate little girls

What's wrong with Ottoline? It passes the MN judge test after all.
