What would 16 year old you call a baby?

[macara]

Steph

I wanted Cleo Bianca for a girl, thought it was very exotic, Heaven was another choice, I was a dick. 8 year old me would have said Anne Marie

Belinda

Anna and David.

Leonie featured at some point (I was a Georgette Heyer fan)

Lettice - heard it on a Miss Marple I think and LOVED it. Prior to that it was Leticia after Leticia Dean 😂

When I was 16 (1991) I would have called my baby girl Amelia.
It was practically unheard of then (or just very slowly creeping in).

Aloysius George Henry G... (being the surname of the boy I liked at the time)
or twins called Raoul and Constance.

Ellie and Aidan

Lucia but probably Tuesday.

Cooper and Romy

Oscar

Before that, though, I liked Archie and Charles (Charlie) for boys and Eleanor for a girl.

DS has a totally different name, of course!

@Wildehorses I was also Oscar Wilde obsessed! Sadly, DS was born in 2022 when Oscar had been a top ten name for a few years, so the shine had rubbed off for me. I do still love the name, though.

Robin or Robyn

I wanted Covenant for either sex. Thought it was really deep and just, like, very, very cool, you know.

I've always wanted calab after one of the guys in the covenant 🤣

Anastasia or Tatiana. I loved Russian history.

Chelsey or Jamie

Sarah.

Antoanette

Crystal
Chantal
Clarissa
Courtney

For me it was Romy 💕 until I had my actual daughter at 33 and called her Lucy…

Leanne

Demi Leigh
Hallie
Hailie
Skye

Jack
Tyler
Zake
Leo

I'd still use Hallie Jack and Leo.

Demelza

Grace or Ethan
