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

DH was convinced he would be having a son and heir so didn't even consider girl's names so I got my first choice and then got him to select between Imogen and Isabelle (which I liked equally) for middle names so that he felt he had been involved in the decision.

He was looking at her passport the other day and said "I forgot her middle name was Imogen." Oh well, I tried.

Oh....are we allowed fictional children?
If DD3 was a boy i would have called him Logan Justis. Glad DC3 was another girl then.

LuLuBai · 11/06/2008 21:43

errr - Myra Hindley.

Moira doesn't remind you of Moira Stewart?

ProfYaffle · 11/06/2008 21:43

dd1's name would be the same, dd2 would have been Rowan or Sorrel. dh and I both agree the boy we never had would have been called Carter.

MrsWeasley · 11/06/2008 21:44

it was entirely up to me what I called my DC. DH had a say, or course but my ideas were better than his

seriously I would stick with the names we have, they are fab IMHO

lackaDAISYcal · 11/06/2008 21:45

With DS it was entirely up to me.......My relationship with DH (at that point he was my ex fiance) wasn't good.

DD would have been Maisie, but the boys in the family vetoed it so we chose a name that everyone liked.

LynetteScavo · 11/06/2008 21:49

Ross

Hugo

Ruby

I must say, with hindsight I'm really pleased for DH's input!

EyeballsintheSky · 11/06/2008 21:50

Controlfreaky you don't know my mum!

boredveryverybored · 11/06/2008 21:50

DD would have been Aoife, exdp vetoed it. In fact he vetoed pretty much everything I came up with and 9mths pregnant and pissed off with everything, screamed 'you pick a fucking name them arsehole' DD has the name he picked lol

hayley2u · 11/06/2008 21:54

moira stewart o dear yer. no i would never have agreed to that, but as a young mum to see my mum write this bizare names down was terrifying lol.
i also liked heidi, poppy, erinn, samantha, imogen

onelittlelion · 11/06/2008 21:55

ds1 Zach and fictional dd Ruby. Dh vetoed both. Do like ds's real name tho and it suits him btter actually .

SmugColditz · 11/06/2008 21:55

Jeremy and Dylan

I settled for Jonathan and Daniel instead!

LuLuBai · 11/06/2008 21:56

PMSL Bored - he he he

I was such a geek first time around that at around 7 weeks pregnant I tried to devise a fair and inclusive way of choosing. I created a spreadsheet with names in alphabetic order and suggested that we give each name a rating out of 5 and then discuss the ones with the highest scores.

He was having none of it. Vetoed the whole spreadsheet.

ninedragons · 12/06/2008 01:51

DD would have been Flora.

GreenGodess · 12/06/2008 10:31

Electra
Elijha
Hero

A bit on the superhero side of life but I have not been brave enough yet

ChippyMinton · 12/06/2008 16:22

Dominic
Zachary
Lexie

With hindsight they would've worked but DH didn't like them.

largeginandtonic · 12/06/2008 16:29

Mine probably had a lucky escape tbh.

The twins would have been the same (i namwed them all by myself anyway)

DD probably Tiger Lily or Buttercup, maybe Tabitha

ds#3 Noah

ds#4 Rupert

ds#5 Arthur

BigBadMouse · 12/06/2008 16:37

Emily
Margot
Megan
Isaac

BigBadMouse · 12/06/2008 16:39

VersdeSociete · 12/06/2008 16:42

Seymour
Jago
Ottoline

largeginandtonic · 12/06/2008 16:43

BBM i adore the name Margot!!! I am not allowed

McDreamy · 12/06/2008 16:44

Olivia and Finlay

Twinkie1 · 12/06/2008 16:45

Monkey and Fish - that is what they should be called as that is how they behave!

Their names they have are perfect although DS was going to be Elliott if it didn;t rhyme with DDs name!

TodayToday · 12/06/2008 16:45

2DDS

Names I liked but DH didn't

Matilda and Eliza
or
Thea and Erin

or if I had been very brave I would have had a Phaedra but I know everyone would pronounce or speel that wrong

scorpio1 · 12/06/2008 16:46

the boys are named what i wanted

dd - Jessamy (is now a middle name of hers) or Lacey, Lexie
