Would you still choose the same names for your DC's?

Particularly if you have older kids. I know some people deliberately chose more unusual names 10 years ago only for them to become massively popular a few years later!

I still love all my DC's names and actually although I didn't choose my middle dd's name (her Dad loved it and I gave in) but it really suits her and despite it apparently being hugely popular I don't know that many Jessicas.

I know a lovely girl named Brittany aged 13 but her surname rhymes with Spears (who wasn't known when she named her dd) so she regrets it now!

85% happy with dd1's name. Our compromise names have turned out to be better choices than I really understood at the time. But my personal number one choice is still my favourite name.

I had some whacko suggestions on my list I now realise though, such as Dahlia, Genevieve and Freesia. Now I just think, oh so clever, yawn+eyeroll.

My son could easily be one of the other two names I wanted, but his name is also unusual and very quirky but not weird and just him really. 95% happy with son's name.

I'd love to be 100% happy with both their names.

TBH i dont think we should name babys till there born as our hormones are everywhere when were pg and the poor children end up having some wierd names bless them ..

I've never met another child with the same name as either of mine, and I like it.. I wouldn't name them otherwise! Mirabelle was not destined to be a Mirabelle, it wasn't on our short list, in fact we dragged it out 7 days after she was born and it was the only thing that stuck. I can't imagine ever not loving the name. Beebe is unusual but she is often called Bee (or Phoebe by the oldies that mishear / refuse to accept Beebe as a name).

Would like a son just so I can do a boys name, but it would have to match!

Yes dd1's name is hyphonated nappy. Both parts of it made up according to DH.

Lol did you know the B part means climing plant? Got a friend with the same name And they are definitely not made up

BTW do you always use both parts or do you sometimes just use the first part?

BTW trying out a new name if you hadn't realised
