Indigo Blue
Violet Skye
Sunny Rae
Sienna Rose
Posy Flo

(In that order)

I think Sonny Ray and Arthur Bear were the boys names....

I have 2 DS's with much less colourful names still holding a torch for Indigo

I wanted twins called Rosemary and Thyme Confused Blush

I didn't intend to have children.
Even up to the point of birth we still didn't have a name in mind!!

Sophronia · 22/10/2017 16:42

Erryn (?) for a boy, don’t think I’d heard the girls name Erin! and Lucie for a girl.

Ponyboycurtis · 22/10/2017 16:47

Heaven-leigh (G)
Aqua (G)
Zenon (B)
Jed (B)

I was having 4 children, 2 of each but I ended up with 2 and didn't use any of those names. .....

Feckitall · 22/10/2017 16:47

When I was younger I liked Ernest! Blush Then as a teenager Luke and Heather...DC are nothing like...

Natsku · 22/10/2017 16:54

Thomas/Tuomas(never did decide on the spelling) or Aslak for a boy. Could never think of a name for a girl (which might explain why DD didn't get a name until she was 10 weeks old!)

Aslak is still front-runner for this baby (pregnant now). It was actually my name for about ten minutes when I was born until my parents realised I didn't have a penis.

As a child Emma-Donna after a character Wonder Woman saved.

As a teenager Arnold and Rio.

I still quite like Arnold and Rio. Emma-Donna not so much.

Theducksarenotmyfriends · 22/10/2017 17:00

Crystal and Kelly. And we'd have a dog called Vinny. No idea why and thankfully not the names we chose!

CruzRamirez · 22/10/2017 17:03

Pandora. Adrian Mole was on the telly then.

itsalljibberish · 22/10/2017 17:04

Laurie (for a girl)?!
And Victoria.

dementedma · 22/10/2017 17:06

Simon, but it sounded horrible with my married name,all ms and ns so we couldnt use it.
Still love it.

Smoliver · 22/10/2017 17:09

I distinctly remember telling my Dad once that when I grew up, I would name my children Rosie and Jim... after the children's TV show Rosie and Jim! Grin

I think I also wanted to call my first daughter Ariel, after The Little Mermaid.

All three options are still usable I think Grin

MrsSchadenfreude · 22/10/2017 17:09

Portia Scarlett
Patsy Alice
Henry Theodore
Harvey John

I was 14 and it was 1979.

MyWhatICallNameChange · 22/10/2017 17:10

Ashley (boy)
Sheridan (boy)
Charlotta

There were more I can't remember, I always wanted a large family. I have 5 and none of them have names from them, although I chose DS1's name 3 years before he was born, so I was a teenager then.

PugwallsSummer · 22/10/2017 17:10

Chevrolet 😳😳😳

Littlepond · 22/10/2017 17:12

I wanted twins: Bonnie and Jovi.

I still adore the name Bonnie for a girl but DH hates it :(

motheroftwojedi · 22/10/2017 17:12

I wanted two boys called Jordan and Jake.

I have two boys and they are not called Jordan and Jake and they also do not have the same initial.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/10/2017 17:20

Paul and Jonathan.

Not sure if I had any girls names lined up.

deary · 22/10/2017 17:24

Twin girls, Toni and Terri
A boy, Joshua Levi
Then girls (obviously forgot about the twins) Naomi and Leona.

I actually still like the last 3!

lostlalaloopsy · 22/10/2017 17:25

Stephanie or Michelle for girls - I really loved Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2, her character was Stephanie 😝😝

And for a boy all I could think of was Joe - and that is what my ds is called!!

yawning801 · 22/10/2017 17:27

I wrote in a diary of mine when I was about five that I'd have a boy called TOLOOK. God knows where I got that from! There was an equally weird girl's name but I can't remember it now!

ZetaPuppis · 22/10/2017 17:28

When I was at primary school, a visitor mistook my name for Sarina. I was so disappointed that it actually wasn’t my name that I vowed I would bestow my daughter with this beautiful name.
I didn’t.
