Imogen. A very close second for DD. If we'd had another I would be fighting for it!
Emily. But my best friends DD already called that so decided not.
Martha. Though probably as a second name.

Cara - planned it all along and then dd didn't look like a Cara!

Martha & Agatha (twins but they turned out to b boys!)

Purplehonesty · 22/12/2015 21:33

Katy and Lucy.

I couldn't use Katy as everyone round here drops their t's so she would have been kay ee and then a colleague used Lucy.

I had a boy anyway!

We have a cat called Lucy now :)
