Alicia

DD2 was going to be Alicia Jane, but XH hated it.

Victoria, my next choice, but XH's family immediately started saying Vicky, which I hate, as I don't like shortened names or nick names, and they wouldn't be told that DD2 would be Victoria, and not any other version (unless she chose Vicky for herself when she older) so she has Victoria as her middle name.

Rhiannon
Kate
Anna
Alice.

Cordelia
Verity

Margot. We already had a girl's name.

Joe (Joseph). Ex boyfriend

Carlton

Girls:
Harper

Ginny, Connie, Stevie (too many ee sounding names in our house already so they all got vetoed). I actually think she'd have rocked any or all of those names and still kinda prefer them to the one we went with.

Nico, Nate, Eric, Kit - liked them all but when I saw DS his name was very much the one we gave him and none of those felt right in the end.

Girls - Lara, Iris, Alice, Eloise

Boys - Finn, Thomas, Matthew, Adam

Libby
