My DD would be Yamini or Emma
DS Harry and if he was a girl then Alice

The surgeon who did my c-section is Shane.

My hero is actually the very junior nurse who helped me to finally FINALLY get my son latched on to breastfeed, after more than a day of trying. If we had had a girl I would honestly have given her that lady’s name.

Alice for DC1 (he was a boy)
Petra for DC2 (didn't use it)
DC3 actually has her middle name after the MW who delivered her. Different spelling, more because we loved the name and it went well with the first name we had than anything else.

If I had named my DDs after my midwives that delivered them DD1 would be called Kath and DD2 would be called Gillian.

Sally and Christine delivered my son. So I guess if I was making him after one of them, he’d have been Christopher.

my daughter was delivered by a Spanish trainee male midwife (was also his first solo delivery, not by design but because she came so fast) called Andréa.

*naming him. Blinking need an edit button. Lol

My midwives were lovely but I can only remember the names of two - Clara and Joanna. I can't remember the name of the consultant who delivered her or any of the others. I had a lot of people involved due to complications so it's all a blur but I remember their two names ☺️

Joseph, Samara or Debbie. My middle name is after the midwife who delivered me: Alison

  1. Don't remember her name.
  2. Beinta (I think). She was from the Fair Isles.
