What would your kids have been named if it was up to you?

[catinboots99]

I.E - no input from stupid DH

Toby and Rufus

I may need to get hamsters

Juno (or possibly Loveday or Lucinda) and Clovis.

I was very lucky in that OH loved all the same names as me

Jean-Baptiste (we're not French.). Probably a good idea DH vetoed it.

Lolita
Sonny

Keir, Thomas and Roman.

DH is Polish, says Keir is not a name, has a relative called Tomasz who he hates, and has a surname far too like Polanski to make Roman viable.

Mary rose and Theo

DD1 would have been Violet. I got my first choice for DD2!

Daisy May and Poppy.

Dh doesn't like flower names.
Since then Daisy and Poppy were used by jamie Oliver and became totally different names in my mind, so glad I didn't use them.

I also loved the name my drother used, so couldn't use that.

boys name - both had the same favourite!

DS would have been James Arthur or Arthur James.
DD got the name I chose.

Megumi. DH hated it and wanted a European name. We have no conection with Japan at all, I just heard it as part of a song title on the radio when pregnant and loved it; it would have sounded lovely with our surname and as my dad hated the name we chose anyway, I may as well have been hanged to a really weird name as for the lovely one we agreed on.

The names they have. I picked first names and dp chose middle names.

Luke, Erin and Tess.

If there was no input from me, they would have been called Jared, Denise and Matilda!

I love the names we chose but I wanted to name them after our fathers who are no longer here and a good friend of mine who died.

DH won't name children after dead people it turns out.

Can't give the names as they would be very outing but they are very bog standard names.

Got my choice for DS2 but ex wouldn’t agree to any names I suggested for DS1 and wouldn’t suggest any himself! So he ended up with a ‘top 10’ name, which does suit him but if I had my way he would have been Indigo which would suit him too

I chose! One of whom is Rufus.

Flora and Rupert.

I got talked out out of Lewis because of Lewis Hamilton.

Edward (Teddy) and Samuel (Sam). No idea why DH didn’t like those. The names they have are similarly traditional, so it’s not that.

Zara Grace and Ezra Jack,
Zara is too much like the shop
His works with a young lady called grace who constantly walks round the office “vlogging”

Ezra isn’t a real name apparently
And his SS (started dating xw when she was pg and they were together 15 y so I say stepson iyswim) is called jack.
So I can’t use any!!

Gage and Archer.

Ada, Gia, Arlo.

Joni for one and trixie for second name in the other

If it was just me who decided... Gabriel, Aisling or Avery and Ophelia. They were all roundly refused! Bloody Philistines....

Rebecca.
Logan.
Nameless.
Willow.
Poppy.
Ds2 would probably still be nameless as I couldn't find a single boys name I liked.
Dh vetoed willow, and poppy. They all have perfectly lovely names, but I still have a hankering for a willow.

My dd's are Poppy and Betty and I love those names but my favourite is Iris. DH is 'meh' on it but he's warming up to it! Iris is just gorgeous
