ds1 would have been Rosie I rthinki - but I just knew he would be a boy
ds2 would have been martha
ds3 (currently still in tummy) would have been Molly I think

popsycal · 05/08/2008 12:05

DS1 was also nearly Joe

2point4kids · 05/08/2008 12:11

DS1 was nearly Max
DS2 was nearly Leo or Dexter

I really really wanted to call ds2 Indiana but didnt have the guts

Hatrick Did you have your baby already?
Congratulations!
I remember thinking how lovely your girls names are on previous threads. What did you call your ds in the end??

ds1 would have been Alexander - which I felt was OK but not mad about - if we had not hit on his name. ds2 was nearly Leo.

If I had had girls, ds1 would have been Sophia and ds2 Helena.

yes, DH felt that our children shouldn't be named after fictional characeters I've got a crush on.
don't see why not???

belcantavinissima · 05/08/2008 12:17

oh also toyed with kitty for dd

DS1 got the name that was coming to him; both DDs were going to be Margaret Clare, but the name fit neither; DD3 was to be Verity Rose or Honor Elisabeth, but turned out to be- DS 2, who, for the past 7 years, was supposed to be Peter Francis, but is looking more and more like an Edmund Gregory/Edmund James/Edmund Hugh. I guess we'll know for sure by January

Toyed with Krista & Honor for both DD1 & 2

Haven't got boys but would have been either Ivan, Alex or Fraser
