If you had to rename your children, now that they're older, what would you call them?

I was talking with a friend about names that, in hindsight, we were glad we didn't use for our children that had been on our lists while we were pregnant.

We then got onto names we didn't use but would have definitely suited them now that they're older and we know their personalities. So I wondering what everyone else's were, if you had to change their name.

Dd- so patient and calm, great with children and a natural teacher. I'd call her Willow or Rowan. I feel these names sound soft and wise.

DS1- Introverted, really studios, loves learning everything he can about his interests, he's passionate but in a quiet way. I'd call him Dmitry or Vincent. I feel these names sound romantic and poetic.

Ds2- very extroverted, very high energy. He's definitely an act now, think later character and just dives into everything, really adventurous. I'd call him Ivar or Bjorn. I feel the viking style of name sound really strong and fearless.

My daughter is Poppy, but sometimes I think I love Sophia other times Elena. I nearly changed it to Elena a week in. But she really suits her name now. She is a beautiful Poppy Elizabeth.

Youngest would definitely be called Blue, she's so cool & it would absolutely suit her down to the ground
