What would you DC be called?

My partner had her heart set on Scarlett for upcoming DD but I couldn’t be swayed no matter how hard I tried to like the name.

For a boy - Leo. I used to be a nanny for a boy called Leo who is by far the most, difficult? child I’ve ever come across in 31 years of living so I just couldn’t shake it 😅

If ex DH had chosen we'd have had either Nedda or Faris.

My DDs would have been Rosemary and Imogen.

@VeggieSausageRoll Iago?? That’s got to win the thread....😂

Sidney or Sydney

VeggieSausageRoll That's quite insulting, Iago is actually a family name for me and not just a random made up one. No need to be so rude about a name just because you don't like it.

Nadine, vetoed on the grounds that we pronounce it differently not because I think of Girls Aloud. Fortunately we had a boy and agreed on his name easily.

My DH chose my DD name...Ripley.

Roselilly36 · 24/08/2020 19:48

DH loves the name Maximilian, neither of our DS’ are called that.

He did . We’ve got a Jamie. He’s 11 weeks n I just can’t warm to it fully🤣 keeps being mistaken for a girl

I was over ruled on Eli Jude , but if he was a girl I was picking, we’d have a Callie or a Jacqueline

DP wanted to name our DS Ceaser...

NatalieH2220 · 25/08/2020 19:07

Dave....Not David just Dave 😑😑

My children would be nameless...

He just reeled off a list of his mates names. So, Tom, Pete, John, Dave. No imagination and very little interest so I named him.

We have a Scots surname -DFIL was from Northumberland. We struggled with DS2 name, and he thought every name I suggested ( Alistair, Cameron) were too Scottish. And then said "so, how about Andrew?" He did not understand while it took me a while to stop laughing.
