What would your DC have been called if your pregnancy hormones had had their way?

[BikeRunSki]

Mine would have been Isambard and Isis !

It’s just as well that you get 6 weeks to register a bi try h.

Thor

Lucifer

DS1 would have been Taylor-Ray
DS2's name was decided at our first scan and never changed.

Molly-Star

Bobby

Donncha.

I came to my senses and his name is William.

Ophelia. Still annoyed I didn't call her that.

DD was nearly Chelsea - DD is very grateful I changed my mind about it.

DS1 was nearly Red (I saw the name Red Buttons on the end credits of a TV show and loved it)

My eldest son would’ve been Gael, I was reading a book with one in it at the time.

Dahlia

Rosalice. I liked the mash up of Rose and Alice. Don’t know what I was thinking, it’s horrible 😂

Dorothy.
Vetoed by DH.
I still like it.

@TerribleCustomerCervix I love that!!

My William was almost Roman!

Jocasta or Persephone for DD
Hamish or Barney for DS

Didn't end up using any of them but at the time I loved them.

Vomit
Hyperemesis

Topsy.

Jonas- which I still like but in those early post natal days that turned into Jona which fortunately a friend put me off
ended up with on Jonathan which suits him anyway

@Mustardbay

Dahlia

Ooohh I love that

I wanted Peppa for DS2 had be been a girl.

I still really like it

Jezebel or Scheherazade for a girl

Isambard for a boy

Hormones are now seriously on the wane as oestrogen abandons me. The ol' ovaries are having a 'WE'RE CLOSING' fire sale and I've got more hairs on my chin than a Carpet Right warehouse. Fleeing hormones aside, I'd STILL use those names if I could!

@Mustardbay my new niece is called Dahlia!

I wanted to call DD Emilia. I didn’t as I felt she’d go through life saying it’s Amelia with an E.
Funnily enough, her best friend is called Emilia and does constantly have to correct the spelling.

Ophelia. Still annoyed I didn't call her that.

I came SOOO close to calling DD that. That was THE name. And then, I'm standing there, about to go into see the midwife (routine appointment) and I find myself staring at a framed poster of that infamous painting of Ophelia by John Everett Millais.
I just thought, "Nah!" after years of yearning to use this name.

Boudicca and Edelweiss.

Isis would be an extremely pretty name... if it wasn't for the terrorist organisation.

@WhenZoomWasJustAnIceLolly

Rosalice. I liked the mash up of Rose and Alice. Don’t know what I was thinking, it’s horrible 😂

Ha ha, twilight fan?

Gabriel.
I still like it but everyone (including the neighbour) said no way!

October.
