Maurice and DD1 knew it was a girl

Plumpy Doggle (it has kind of stuck). My sister would've been Eric if my brother had his way.

I know a child names by her older sister called, and she is Dora Maisy. Wonder what her influences were....?

My eldest son used to say if we ever had a girl can we call it cauliflower!
But unfortunately for him i had 2 more boys and am expecting again and hes desparate for a little sister he wants to call her elizabeth grace which is suprising normal!(But im affraid if this baby is a girl it wont be called elizabeth!)

"sixmonths" becausse I said we were having a baby in six months. It really stuck in 2 yr old's imaginination. Bump was known as six months from then on, and sometimes afterwards.

Ds1 wanted to call ds2 'Three Piece suite'. When that was vetoed he suggested 'Car wash' instead. At least those names would have been non-gender specific.

Dd1 fancied calling dd2 'Freda'. We didn't run with that one.

"Milky" or "Donkey" .

ataraxis · 27/08/2008 18:02

Franco delmondo (for a girl)

rodg82 · 27/08/2008 18:03

my friends little one wanted to call her new baby brother sardine! it stuck for a week after he was born until they thought of his actual name!

poppy34 · 27/08/2008 18:03

sapphire or crystal...

giddly · 27/08/2008 18:06

Pasta (suitable for a boy or girl, apparently)

shelleylou · 27/08/2008 18:07

Jesus or Chico think they hated my ds

shelleylou · 27/08/2008 18:11

FrannyandZooey · 27/08/2008 18:14

Angel Wings

Bagpuss

Dd1 thought it was good for a boy or a girl!

frazzledoldbag34 · 27/08/2008 20:59

Sparkle-Twinkle
or
Molly-Beyonce
(DD1 is 7 and thinks these are fab. DD2 is not called either of these!)

lulurose · 27/08/2008 21:02

Cinderella or Aurora...

God when will the princess phase end?

mamadoc · 27/08/2008 21:06

No personal experience yet but loved my friend's DS choices for their DS2:

  1. Same name as DS1
  2. Thomas (as in the tank engine)
  3. Penguin!
DanJARMouse · 27/08/2008 21:09

DD1 wanted to call DS Jessica, Becca, mummy and daddy. Any name she was familiar with!

Needless to say we said erm... no!

procrastinatingparent · 27/08/2008 21:14

Car park. No idea what that was about!

poppyknot · 27/08/2008 21:17

I was going to be Doctor Who.

It had just started first time around (that's how old I am ) and my brother was getting over the fact that new baby was a girl (how unfair was that when he already had two sisters??).

Mum and Dad asked him what he wanted to call me and that was his preferred choice.

Luckily sense prevailed.

Our surname is as near the word 'or' as you can get so the combination would have been very alienish!

QuintessentialShadow · 27/08/2008 21:18

DS1 wanted DS2 to be called Tom.

We chose another three letter name!

Nemoandthefishes · 27/08/2008 21:24

Ds choose DD2s name he insisted when I was pg it was his little sister Chloe..we wanted to call her charlotte

ThatBigGermanPrison · 27/08/2008 21:26

Tom.

Which is nice, but it was our cat's name.

TheCheeseAlarm · 27/08/2008 21:28

According to DS1, DS2 was going to be a blonde haired, blue-eyed girl called Risotto Manchester. Fortunately he is a boy!
