What would you have called your babies if you had your own way?

[HillaryWhitney]

Mine would have been Spike and Merlin. Luckily the pethedine wore off quickly both times

My fantasy twin girls are still called Romy and Piper though....

@LedaandtheSwan

Daisy Minerva or Thalia Minerva. Minerva is the Roman Goddess of arts, knowledge and war. I didn't get my own way, she's called something far more mundane.

If we'd had a boy his middle name would have been Ramses (king of Egypt) or Alfred. I like history, ok?

Minerva is also Minnie Mouse's name, which is what I think of when I hear it now :P

I really like names where Lucy can be the nickname like Lucinda but my partner doesn't like it.

DH vetoed Rufus for DS2 which pisses me off as it means 'red haired' and guess what colour his hair is? Yep, ginger

Was always Seth and Phoebe

Sadly I had miscarriages instead ... now pushing 40 and the hope is diminishing each day

If the miracle does happen though, I’d like a Benjamin / Gus or a Florence / Milly

Mabel, Josephine or Juniper

I have 4.

I wanted: Leonie, Alexander, Isolde and Lilith!

Guineviere

I want a little girl called Stella.

So far I have only had boys and we have happily agreed on their names....

Peter and Genevieve... still like them. DH vetoed both

I wanted Anna, Alice or Carmen.
DP hated all of them.
We settled on a name he hated less and I didn't like as much.
DS would have been Aidan or Luke.
We settled on a name dp chose that I like but don't love.

@Changedname81 hugs to you, I hope your miracle happens soon🤞🏼

@GallopingGreen

Peter and Genevieve... still like them. DH vetoed both

Genevieve is on my list for a future daughter 😊

Elvis. For either sex.

My DS would have been Caleb if I'd had my own way

Ralph or Elliot for a boy.
Stella or Violet for a girl.

Autumn and Amber were two I absolutely loved, I got one of my other favourites though and my favourite boys name

DS1 would have been Jago.

Not sure about DS2 - once you choose Jago (which I didn't in real life) you're kind of limiting yourself to unusual names. I liked Jarvis at one stage but I don't like using the same initial for siblings. The other name I liked and DH didn't was Matthew, which again doesn't really fit with Jago.

A DD would have been Sarah but DH likes that anyway, so I would probably have used it whether he had a say or not. But if I already had a Jago and was looking for something more unusual, maybe Francesca or Iris.

If DD was a son she would have been Bogdan Theodore. Means "gift from God" as she truly was - we waited for her almost a decade.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant

I love Rafferty for a boy

Isadora for a girl

DH has vetoed them both

Currently pregnant with another DD and am desperate for Minerva but DH has vetoed... I can't lobby harder as I named DD1 a name that often comes up on 'if I was braver I'd have used ...' threads and he just had to get on board.

The name DD2 will likely be is also on this thread and I am gunning for Minerva as a middle name ... Wish me luck

Ds would have been Angus or possibly Hubble
Dd would have been Claris or Esther
As it is they both have very sensible , very top 10 type names which do suit them . Ds is definitely not an Angus / Hubble although dd would be ok with either of the original choices .

I liked Starr and Scarlet ( before the latter became popular). Perfectly happy with the more traditional names we agreed on.

I would have called ds3 Jett and it would have suited him so much. If we were to have a happy accident now, I would demand it.
