When you were growing up, what did you imagine your DC would be called?

[AnnieApple123]

And have you ended up using any of those names?

Sebastian or Marcus or Dickon for a boy, and Christabel or Berengaria or Flavia for a girl.
I was an avid reader!

I actually really wanted triplets (or more!). I thought that would be so much fun. 🤣😂

Sylvia and no I didn’t use it. I thought it sounded sparkly and pretty like silver.

Yes I did.
Matilda.
Never thought i'd use it as partner hated it when we had our boy but then came around when daughter came along!

Ben and Kate. I would have used them but DHs last 2 girlfriends were called Katie and one of them had left him for Ben. So they were sadly abandoned.

Tom. Every story and book I read as a child seemed to have a hero called Tom.
So that's what I called him. And he is a bit of a hero.

I was obsessed with the name Alice when I was a child. I was sure I'd name my daughter Alice. I didn't.

I was going to have twin boys called Joshua and Jacob.

I used Joshua as a middle name for my eldest. No twins in my family ever 😂

I still like Gillian. I’m not quite sure why I thought it was like a waterfall though!

I was going to have Amber, Jason and Christine. In that order.

Tbf, I still quite like Amber. The others not so much.

Hepzibah, Tesni and Torran. Didn't use any of them :)

I never wanted children but I always used to think that if I did end up having a child, I would want a daughter and I would call her Laura.

Probably because I was a big fan of Little House on the Prairie.

I've got one daughter but she isn't called Laura.

Felicity and Jake. Did not make the list at all when I was choosing a name for my son. Quite cool names now I think about it though.

Hannah, Rebekah and Daisy. I had 2 boys!

Christopher and Carrie. Only people late 40s or older will have a clue who they were.

Evan and Anna
DH vetoed both

At 16 or so, I would have said Chloe for a girl and Dylan for a boy.
I didn't use them though.

Sophie and Robert. Nothing wrong with them but didn’t use them.

Oddly, six year old ds was making a list of his future children’s names this week and in amongst the tv characters and made up names were Sheila and Don, so I’m looking forward to that conversation with my future DIL 😂

Erin and Alicia. I had boys 😂

Swallows and Amazons fan?

I loved Mallory Towers and was quite taken with the name Darrell. I remember asking my mum if she liked the name and being shocked when she said no! When I was younger still I liked making up stories and often called the main character Aurora. I know it's actually become quite popular recently but I really don't like it these days!

Joel. Still love it. Never had a son though. Had 3 DDS .

I always said if I wanted a wee girl called Morgan. When I fell pregnant absolutely hated it 🤣 My DH was very glad.

Heidi and Ashton

Still like them but never used them

When I was really little it was Peter & Lindsey.
In my 20s it was Reece & Chloe.
Didn't use any of them though.
