Names you love but didn't use

[Echomama]

As it says on the box.
Names you loved but didn't use, would love to hear some

I loved Adelaide
and Reuben

Rafe
Rafferty
Atticus

I've loved Atticus for all of our babies. I'm expecting our 6th now and it's back on the list! My husband has vetoed it every time, but by now I can't imagine he could come up with an alternative, so if it's a boy, I might stand a chance 😀

DH was convinced Rafferty isn't actually a name so I'm so happy to see someone else suggesting it too 😍

Some names I still like from in my top 100 of yesteryear.

Rupert
Humphrey
Edward
Alistair
Forbes
Charles
Hugh
John
George
Richard

Victoria
Jane
Mary Ellen
Suzette
Claire
Fotini
Sally
Rebecca
Liberty
Cosette

There are so many beautiful and unique names on here 😍
I'm learning that my list of 3 names per child was very limited in comparison to some of these lists😅😅

Elspeth
Mary
Arianwen
Tabitha
Miriam
Genevieve
Rosalind
Colette
Xanthe
Cora
Esme

Osian
Caspar
Lachlan
Alasdair
Michael
Jowan
Cyrus
Murray
Tristram

Liberty
Bryony
Clara
Cora
Nancy

Some of those were options for DD1 and I considered them again when I was pregnant with my second. He turned out to be a boy and we had no boys names lined up.

I did like Gabriel and husband liked Ezekiel. Neither of us liked the other name so he got a different OT name. Pregnancy hormones also did weird things so I had Inigo and Digby on the list too. Thankfully my love for these names went.

Tabitha and Barnaby

Lara, verity, Emilia
Ralph, Michael, Patrick

Flora. Our surname starts FL

Loved Karenza but ds was a boy
Also loved Seraphina but dd3 didn't feel like that big a name

I loved Aida but dh was on no way

Boys names were always so hard. Good thing we only had to name 1 boy as he woild likely have been baby boy in his 20th 😁 (I know you can't do that )

James
Daniel
Matthew
Alex
Anna
Rosa
Nova
