Was thinking if I had gone with my second choice names my kids would be called -

Sophie, Nathan, Scarlett, Riley and Lacey.

Still like my kids names but I have 3 daughters and regret not calling one of them Sophie just really love that name put me off as was so popular when I had my eldest.

Julius and Ishmael.

WinterBabyof89 · 14/06/2015 09:04

Didn't have a second choice for DS1..
Other two - Scarlett & Austin.

ChocolateBreakfastBalls · 14/06/2015 09:05

If we'd gone with the second choices our sons would be Reuben, Nathaniel, Jacob and our daughter would be Lara.

Hamish, wasn't brave enough to pair it with our super Scottish surname though.

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 14/06/2015 09:09

Cecelia and Alfred.

Wolfie. Confused

HeyMicky · 14/06/2015 09:12

Juliet and Felicity

FlyDragonfly1 · 14/06/2015 09:36

Didn't have a second choice for DS1 or DD.

DS2 was almost Jared or George, and DS3 was a toss up between his name and Ivan Smile

Layla, I loved it husband wasn't keen. Glad we went with our first choice though it suits her down to the ground. Layla would not have suited her at all.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/06/2015 08:45

Jack, Tom and Kit.

TheGratefulRecipient · 16/06/2015 09:28

I'd have Matthew, Christopher and Louisa. Still like these.

Allalonenow · 16/06/2015 09:33

Frodo!
Confused What was I thinking?!

Cloggal · 16/06/2015 10:07

If DC1 had been a girl, he would have been Orla. We didn't really have a second choice boy name, though we had discussed Gregor. Wouldn't pick either for future dc, and still love DS's name.

Purpleflamingos · 16/06/2015 10:18

Blake and Tess.

LazyRohazy · 16/06/2015 10:22

Alexandra. I've gone right off it now, so rather relieved we didn't choose it.

CordeliaFrost · 16/06/2015 11:43

DS would be Isaac, if we'd gone for our second choice.

fleurdelacourt · 16/06/2015 13:12

Charlie and Laura - hugely relieved we didn't given a hugely popular TV series that came along!

Alyx80 · 16/06/2015 13:47

Quinn, Miller, Carter & Sullivan

wigglesrock · 16/06/2015 14:21

Aoife, Lily and Stella. I've 3 daughters, there were a few other names I liked or my husband liked but we couldn't agree on. But the ones I've mentioned were our second choices.

ditavonteesed · 16/06/2015 14:24

amelie for dd1
tallula and dylan for dd2. Dylan was very nearly frist choice but reactions of others put me off.

tomatodizzymum · 16/06/2015 14:29

Amelia, Mateus, Yara and Olivia.

MarjorieWinklepicker · 16/06/2015 14:30

Caitlyn, Harry and Bethany.

I hate them all now so luckily we didn't use them!

llamajohn · 16/06/2015 16:52

Matthew, Adam and Charlotte would have been Adam, James and Grace

GlitzAndGigglesx · 16/06/2015 17:00

I really wanted to call dd Chloe. I still love the name

SmileAndNod · 16/06/2015 17:06

Charlie and Emilia (twice). So glad DH made me sense with our pfb. He definitely doesn't look like a Charlie. I got to choose the girls names, but still wonder if Emilia would have suited them better...
