If we were told a girl it would have been either Freya, Isobel, or Addison

sonniboo · 24/01/2009 11:52

If my dd would have been boy, Quentin.

Northernlurker · 24/01/2009 11:53

Well my baby is 21 months old but I'm still going to answer. She is Beatrice Amelia but she would have been Benedict Richard. Dd2 would have been Peter Richard and dd1 would have been nameless because we were very stuck - and hugely relieved she was a girl!

katie3677 · 24/01/2009 12:01

DS (Douglas) would have been Imogen or Anoushka and DD would have been Finlay, Finnbar or Felix, but she is Liliana. Obviously not very decisive parents!

bixley · 24/01/2009 14:14

If a girl Josephine or Iris

naturalblonde · 24/01/2009 14:18

If dd1 was a boy she would have been Zachary (Zach), dd2 would have been Theo or possibly Aiden

Bucharest · 24/01/2009 14:19

Patrick or Peter.

Bit of a debate if DD3 had been a boy, I wanted Elliot, DP wanted Logan.

CharleeinChains · 24/01/2009 14:23

If ds's were girls i would have called ds1 Phoebe-Sky and DS2 Hiedi-Louise.

My kids are 2 and 4 but thought i would answer anyway! lol

DD would have been Thomas or Zane if she'd been a boy.

chancelloroftheexchequers · 24/01/2009 15:12

Joseph James.

idontbelieveit · 24/01/2009 15:16

Isaac Daniel

BabyTalk13 · 24/01/2009 17:09

Kara Anne would have been Jayden Lee (has meaning so saving it for next if boy-not preggers atm!)

constancereader · 24/01/2009 17:13

Tobias

Disenchanted3 · 24/01/2009 17:14

Addison is a boys name

bronze · 24/01/2009 17:14

Elin
(Annie-possible as middle name)

FruitynNutty · 24/01/2009 17:15

Olivia - don't care how popular it is, I've loved the name since I was a little girl - even called myself Olivia for about a week when I was 7

ilovespinach · 24/01/2009 18:05

Grace for Ds1
Isabel/Beatrice or Elizabeth for ds2

LuckySalem · 24/01/2009 18:07

If DD was a boy she was going to be Matthew Robin instead of Aaliyah Robyn.

MrsMattie · 24/01/2009 18:10

A boy would have been Liam, probably, although I was pushing for Oisin. Middle name would have been Nelson after Mandela, it being his 90th year last year.

shubiedoo · 24/01/2009 18:11

Expecting dd1 in three weeks--let's hope she really is a girl, she'll be Claire Yvonne. But if this had been our third boy, he would have been Shane Everett. I actually like the boy name better, and am a little sad we won't ever have a Shane...

Divineintervention · 24/01/2009 18:12

If he was a girl..... Posy

cece · 24/01/2009 18:15

DD would have been Sam or Jonathan

DS would have been Thea, Althea or Alathea.

weetimerousdizzybeastie · 24/01/2009 18:16

DD1 would have been Corin or Caleb
DD2 would have been Roan
DD3 would have been Reuben or Cassius
DD4................ not bloody likely!
