DS15 says he would pick Amelia for a girl and Jacob for a boy.

My 4yo nephew says "Cool" for a boy and "Fairy" for a girl! Confused Grin

My dd wishes I'd have called her Rose
Which is strange as my short list was
Rosie/Rose
Molly
Nicole.
I went with Molly in the end.

I used to call myself music Centre.

I’ve just had a girl and both of my older children wanted to call her Moana.

I am currently pregnant and my 2 year old wants to call the baby spacerocket!

RiddleyW · 22/06/2019 17:04

My 4 year old suggest sally or Muffin

hexagon01 · 22/06/2019 17:42

My 2 year old would have Peppa Pig (in full) or Ella (name of his cousin and also his best friend at nursery).

I'm pregnant and my DD is 3, she likes Lucy (but only for a boy), darling or dinah

Cosmosgrowinmygarden · 22/06/2019 18:01

My granddaughter would choose one of the Paw Patrol characters 😂

BarryBarryTaylor · 22/06/2019 18:37

My dd wants to name her brother lemon tart 😂

BarryBarryTaylor · 22/06/2019 18:38

Should add before we knew if it was a boy or girl, she had suggested May for a girl which pleasantly surprised me, we probably would have used that!

My 7 year wants to be called Chubbs, no idea why but he thinks its a cool name?Grin

Jemimapuddleduckpancake · 22/06/2019 19:24

'Peppa' (boy or girl)

Perditavita · 22/06/2019 19:27

Ben and Aurora

I'm pregnant, my 6yodd wants to call baby Violet or Rex and my 10yodd loves the name Sophia or Jacob.

There's a 'famous' family in Australia where the kids were allowed to name their new baby brother; Disco.

TheFatberg · 22/06/2019 19:42

Probably his own name.

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 22/06/2019 19:44

Iv asked all three of mine, 17 year old said Henry for a boy and Amelia for a girl, 7 year old said Jonathon for a boy and lily for a girl, 6 year old said batman for a boy and batman for a girl. Glad I'm not having anymore then!

Perditavita · 22/06/2019 20:29

@littlepeaegg the video where the kids all suggested names...dear me 😂

Zoflorabore · 22/06/2019 20:51

My 8yr old dd is called Lucy and recently told me the names of my future grandchildren- Tommy for a boy and Clover for a girl :)

She has a gaggle of Baby Alive and American Girl dolls and loves to take time in choosing their names and takes it very seriously!

She certainly has a unique style. She has a set of twins called Audrey and Avery and at first I hated the names but I like them now, she pronounces Audrey the American way- sounds like Odrey.

Poo poo!

agirlhasnonameX · 22/06/2019 21:53

DD wanted to call her Dsis Duchess when I was pregnant.

Duchess who is now 3 says 'sweetheart' for a boy and 'clever clogs' for a girl.

SPARKLYSTARSHINESBRIGHT · 22/06/2019 22:03

My DS1 aged 6 wanted to call his new baby sister Fragile Rainbow! Fortunately we chose a different name!

MarshaBradyo · 22/06/2019 22:07

My middle did actually choose for my youngest

He was right it’s way better than the other one we had on the list

TVname · 22/06/2019 22:10

DD (4) is insistent on Tinkerbell. Asked about a boy's name but she won't even consider that a baby might not be the girl she'd want!
