Morgan for a girl (can't remember why I loved that so much).

Elliot for a boy (because my favourite film was Pete's Dragon and that was the name of the dragon).

Angie
I thought this the most beautiful name I'd ever heard and named my favourite baby doll Angie. No idea why.

Erin, I absolutely adored this name. When I was older I actually discussed and “agreed” this name for any potential children with my ex (we lived together for over 3 years). We broke up and a few months later (like 6) he and his new girlfriend got pregnant. They chose Erin. I still find it weird.

Lucy. Still love the name but didn't use it for my DDs because it was so popular.

Laurence, Declan, Alexander, Seamus, Liam, Luke.

For some reason when I was about 13 I thought I'd have six boys. Turns out I had no children at all. Grin
