I can't use Robin because that is what I called my first miscarriage, and the ones since are my little Robins.

I also can't use Cara, Noel or Alfie because I've had dogs with those names.

We called our rabbit George, then regretted it as I would have loved to use that name for my youngest boy.

Freya- called my pet it!

Gabriel. The name of the little boy I was going to have, so I've technically already used it. An Angel brought him to visit me in a dream.
