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.

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
