I think mine would be

ds-Otto

dd1-Mabel

and

dd2-Ida

they would have bloody suited them too, though we'd have been laughed out of the playground

I don't have a girl but left entirely to my own devices she would have been called Genevieve. Very ponce-tastic

DS1 would probably stay as he is.
DS2 would have been Benedict. Also a bit poncy.

Ben and Gena for short - a bit more manageable.

Noah and Kitty

Do you mean if life were different and you could really call your child whatever you wanted without ridicule or judgement??

Oak (boy)
Willow (girl)
Rowan {girl)
Ash (boy)

DTD1 - Keturah
DTD2 - Germaine

DD3 - erm, dunno. DH chose her name cos i couldn't decide!

AdamAnt · 11/06/2008 20:44

Exactly what they are called. Who dissuaded you from your first choice of names?

paolosgirl · 11/06/2008 20:44

Archie

Freya

Will

They aren't because DH guffawed at Archie (oooh Eerrchie), I only started loving Freya a couple of years ago, so too late for DD, and Will gets 'shortened' to Wullie up here in Scotland - so no to that.

The names that I have called them

fishie · 11/06/2008 20:49

ds might possibly have been conrad. but really his own name suits him very well.

sweetkitty · 11/06/2008 20:49

Same here their actual names.

Although if I wasn't with DP with his surname I could have had some other names I liked IYSWIM.

MKG · 11/06/2008 21:24

It was entirely up to me. I told dh that although I respected his input and would take it into consideration, until he carrried a gave birth to a baby all names were up to me.

ds1 is Mateo (Means "gift from God" and truly fit the circumstances of his pregnancy)

ds2 is Cruz (dh was watching a movie while I was asleep and the next day the name of one of the characters kept popping in my head, the more I said it the more I liked it.)

IllegallyBrunette · 11/06/2008 21:26

Dd1 and Ds would be as they are, but Dd2 would be Eloise. It is her middle name, but I always wanted it as her first name.

BroccoliSpears · 11/06/2008 21:28

DD would have been Gertrude. Gertie for short. DP was having none of it.

DS would stay the same. He seems to really suit his name so far, but he's only 6 weeks old so it's hard to tell!

EyeballsintheSky · 11/06/2008 21:33

Only got one dd but she would have been called Caroline (my cousin's name so my mum banned it!)

Next fictional dd would be Verity (dh hates it, I love it)

Fictional ds would be Sebastian and Dominic

OrmIrian · 11/06/2008 21:35

My boys name are fine. But DD would have been Idony - I just really liked it.

yama · 11/06/2008 21:36

It was entirely up to me.

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 11/06/2008 21:36

Same as on the birth certificate - although dd herself wants to add Katie Alice to the listed names!

RubySlippers · 11/06/2008 21:37

DS would be Rafi

DH would have left me

controlfreakyagain · 11/06/2008 21:38

just dont get this "my mum said i couldnt..." ffs! if you're old enough to be a mum then surely you're old enough to stand your ground with your own mum?!

my dss are (obviously) called exactly what i wanted for each of them... (dh's choice too)

my (hypothetical) dds would be called

glory and pearl

ByTheSea · 11/06/2008 21:39

Exactly what they are. Good thing I didn't have any boys to name as that's where I couldn't agree with DH.

controlfreakyagain · 11/06/2008 21:40

and yes, my dss each have totally poncetastic names....

hayley2u · 11/06/2008 21:41

prob princess, callum or freddie as boy.
if up 2 my mum dd would have been called moira, but so reminds e of moira hindley what was she thinking lol
