Ds has actually named Ds2 (unborn). I asked him if he preferred Bartholomew or Toby and he said, "I like James." Since dh and I can't think of anything we like better, James it is.

DS1 (called Thomas) wants to call DS3 Jerry.

"Tom, Jerry, time for tea......." Methinks not.

NatalieJane stranger things have happened. My first boyfriend Bill had a brother called Ben and two other brothers called Tom and..... Jerry.

Seriously.

DD wanted to call DS Rainbow (whether he'd been a girl or boy).

I guess that would have been fine if we were hippies who wore tye-dye clothing and lived in a teepee

My little brother would have been MichaelCycle had our then 3yo brother got his way.

DD (5) says a good name for the baby sister she wishes me to produce would be Heart Pony.

EachPeachPearMum · 28/08/2008 21:06

'Heart Pony' - very noce

OT- you're back then? Good travels?

Suggestions by DS 1+2 were:

Trolley
Underpants - in line with the general toilet humour thing they had have going on.
Jack

Just for the record: none of the above were chosen.

Ceolas · 28/08/2008 21:09

DD1 wanted to name DS 'Moses'.

DD3 however would have been 'Shrek' if DS had his way!

i am expecting no 3. Dd1 (4) wants to call the new baby Leaf Pie.

Dunno why.

muminthecity · 28/08/2008 21:39

I only have 1 dd and not planning anymore, but almost all of dd's dolls and teddies are called 'Bellybutton' so I could take a guess at what her suggestion would be....

My uncle was allowed to choose my dad's middle name - he chose Clive

My dad was then allowed to choose his younger brother's middle name. He chose Preston!

stripeymama · 29/08/2008 08:31

eachpeachpearmum - we are back, thanks for asking. Tired (me) and still somewhat muddy (dd)! Travels very very wonderful indeed and I'm looking for part time work so I can afford to learn to drive and get a living vehicle next year!

DS1 wanted to call DS2 Thomas the Tank Engine. We were planning to call him Thomas and were trying to get him used to it prior to the birth. As DS1 got so hung up on calling him TTE rather than just Thomas, we changed that to his middle name. When asked what DS2's long name is, he still says TTE in the middle!

2point4kids · 29/08/2008 08:51

DS1 wanted me to call DS2 Barney.
He was obsessed by the big purple dinosaur at the time.

bumpybecky · 29/08/2008 10:03

according to dd1 and dd2, dd3 was going to be Twinkle

PinkyDinkyDooToo · 29/08/2008 20:28

I di hear of a friends DC who wanted to call the new baby computer.

Polly (like Angelina Ballerina's baby sister). Not yet conceived btw.

petitmaman · 29/08/2008 21:01

Dd1 wanted to call dd2 tesco or steering wheel.
funnily enough we went with something else...

justgotbfp · 31/08/2008 10:18

ds has not yet been told about no. 2 as is early days but we have two very close friends due in October so he has been talking about "his" baby coming for several months now and that it will be a boy call Eggwood. Will not be putting this on our shortlist.

thelittlestboho · 31/08/2008 12:57

My dd2 gave dd3 middle name of Echo, after Greek mythological name. It's spot on, regardless of other people's perceptions.

ethanchristopher · 01/09/2008 13:25

i was meant to be Bethany but my brother (who DID NOT WANT A GIRL) saw me and told my parents I was to be called Jessica.

Guess what, im called Jessica!
