Ask your child what they'd name a new baby, and share the results

[AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings]

My two year old DD's shortlist of names for her future little brother are…

Baby baby
Breakfast
Pasta
Catty

Slightly different - but not much. Someone I know got two kittens and said their two young children could chose the names. They ended up with;
Princess - not so bad
and
Happy Christmas -

5 year old - “Poo Poo Head”

3 year old - “HAHAHAHA Poo poo”

Both now giggling and saying “Baby Poo Poo” over and over.

11 Yr old daughter - girl-felicity or celia
Boy would be jack, took a really long time to think of that one. And then Jason as an addition.
10 Yr old daughter--girl- Charlotte or skylar and boy also jack

When I was pregnant with the now 11 Yr old, my son was 3 nearly 4 and a wanted to call his sister pencil or door.
When pregnant with the 10yrold he wanted to call her grace Isabel, the 11 year old is Isabel Grace 🤣🤣🤣

If my DS (3.5) had his way our newborn DD would be Peppa T-Rex Grandma

7yo DD says Nathan for a boy and Anya for a girl (her best friends from school)

Her tastes have obviously changed because when she was younger she told me she was going to call my grandchild either Flash or Starshine 😆

4 year old - "Jackson like my stick insect at nursery, or maybe Eye Patch"
2 year old - "A BEE!"

@propertealady - I like the name 'xylophone'. It's no worse than some of the names people use today and it has a nice ring to it!

Having seen some absolutely bonkers names suggested on here over the years, all of these seem quite reasonable.

Elsa

Rosie.

For a boy or a girl.

My 1 year old says Coco

DS1 wanted to call his brother "Mummy".

Wouldn't have been too confusing...!

Ds had a few ideas for dd
Cheese
Sausage
Pizza
I didn't stick with his theme in the end.

Dd goes for very descriptive names.
Her toys are brown bear, blue dog, pink bunny...

So a new baby would probably be pink baby, boy baby, girl baby or nudie rudie baby

No kids here but asked my nieces and nephew

Niece8- Taylor for a girl (Swift fan)
Rider for a boy- paw patrol

Niece5- Ivy (best friends name) and rolo (cats name)

Nephew 6- Charlie for a boy or for a girl.

My DD named her DS when he was born, but only as she picked a classic name that I liked. They laugh about it now, she picked the name as a boy with the name in her preschool was friendly. My DS jokes with her that she named him after her first boyfriend.

She liked Bella-May for a girl, which I would never have gone with in a million years.

Toast, she must be really enjoying her breakfast this morning.

Update: we've had two new suggestions…

Dinosaur
George

Sashimi is so cute

Rosie or Robbie-cheers Peppa Pig. Could be much worse🤷🏻‍♀️

2 year old ds suggested Toast for dc2. I'm currently pregnant and hoping he goes off the idea of name it Toast!

Currently pregnant and have a 3yo DD so this has come up recently... her suggestion was “Mumzit” which cracked me. Have no idea where it came from, but suspect it means she will hate her little bro/sis 😂

My son (5) suggested

For a boy Chase (paw patrol) or Peter (rabbit)
For a girl Gaffy (?) or Tavi.

He is now sorting what the new baby can touch, erm, you got the wrong end of the stick mate, but crack on if it keeps you busy.

DD 10 says Paris and Aayla Rey

Rainbow
Owlease
