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 also used to fantasise I was a really trendy fashionable popular girl (I wasn't) and my name - PERLANE 🙄

MoanerChopsis · 22/10/2017 22:19

Meredith and Jebediah... I used neither but still quite like both!!

TheQueenOfWands · 22/10/2017 22:20

I had a thing about rhyming names so thought I'd have a Holly, a Molly and a Polly.

All lovely names, but a bit much end masse.

Edwina

Phoebe
Vinnie

Still love Phoebe... but OH doesn't unfortunately.

I loved the name Kale for a boy for years.

I didn’t realise it was a leafy green veg Hmm

BonjourMeDarlin · 22/10/2017 22:26

Mercedes and Amani.
I thought they were classy names. Blush

yomellamoHelly · 22/10/2017 22:30

Didn't ever have such dreams. My SIL however did call her first 2 by the names she'd planned. (Probably seemed quite out there when she was young. Not so much by today's standards.)

I was having twin girls - Innocence and Honesty Grin
In total I was having about 6 kids, each with 2 or 3 middle names.
In reality I have 2 girls, both with fairly normal names.

AnonEvent · 22/10/2017 22:37

Rosemary and Anastasia.

And Frithany, but I think I made that up.

Houseof5boys · 22/10/2017 22:38

I was going to have 4 children in the following order:
Sarah Jane
Twins, James Welham Confused and Emma Louise
Octavia (Tivvy for short)

They were all going to be beautifully dressed from my mum’s Freeman catalogue. Grin

Augustus and Latisha.

I was a strange child..

SuzukiLi · 22/10/2017 22:40

Lucifer!!!

Still love it but it's been given to my cat Grin

BadTasteFlump · 22/10/2017 22:41

Bronwen and Julian.

No idea why but I loved those names...

LinaLaaamont · 22/10/2017 22:42

Sammy-Jo. I thought it was so cool.

woodwaj · 22/10/2017 22:47

Alicia for a girl...no boys name as boys should all go in the bin according to my younger self 🤔

When I got pregnant it got changed slightly to Alice and found out at 20 weeks it was a boy!! I didn't put him in the bin though just to confirm 😁

Chilver · 22/10/2017 22:50

Mims and Ranon (from the movie Willow Blush)

ifcatscouldtalk · 22/10/2017 22:52

Amber Rose and Robbie Lee.

I have one daughter and her name is nothing like Amber Rose Grin.

ZerbaPadnaTigre · 22/10/2017 23:10

Tristan and Summer. Also Casey but I couldn't decide whether that was for a boy or a girl. I still quite like Tristan.

kaytee87 · 23/10/2017 00:39

Louise until I met a horrible Louise

oldsilver · 23/10/2017 01:07

Two boys and a girl - Toller (to be called Tolly), Raphael (tbc Raffy) for the boys and Acacia (tbc Casey) for the girl.

DS has very very traditional names.

HeteronormativeHaybales · 23/10/2017 01:36

Melody and Lucinda.
I only ever thought of names for girls.

hiddley · 23/10/2017 01:44

Deborah.

Kahlua4me · 23/10/2017 01:48

Imogen, Eleanor and Madeleine.
In reality I have 1 daughter using 1 of those names and luckily for DS we chose a boys name for him!
