DD1 - Hamish
DD2 - Munro
DS1 - Annabel
Boo, I really want an Annabel.......
(and I don't THINK we'll use either of those boy names for DS1). Might just call him Annabel!

nappyaddict · 07/03/2009 11:09

Oh yes Florence, Araminta, Claribel, Arabella and Anabella were on the list too

RedOnHerHead · 07/03/2009 11:12

DS1 would have been Mair Beatrice
DS2 would have been Éowyn Rose

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 07/03/2009 11:12

DS would have been Eve
DD would have been Tom

They both have entirely different names to that though.

Hulababy · 07/03/2009 11:14

DD would have been Oliver Joseph

katz · 07/03/2009 11:17

that could have been quite strange hula as DD1 would have been Oliver Thomas! DH was quite looking forward to watch little Ollie playing Cricket for England!

katz · 07/03/2009 11:17

oh and DD2 would have been Rueben Thomas

serenity · 07/03/2009 11:22

Both DS1 and DS2 would have been Anastacia (greek pronunciation, so ana-stas-ia) can't remember what middle name we would have had.

We knew DD was a girl from the 20 week scan, so no boy first names, but the middle name would definitely have been Leonidas.

Wigglesworth · 07/03/2009 11:28

DS would have been Chloe Louise or Ashleigh Rae.

risingstar · 07/03/2009 11:42

dd1 would have been Rory
dd2 would have been Rory
dd3 would have been Rory

there will be no dc4!

incidentally, there are 14 years between my girls. We have masses of boys in the family so we spent ages looking for a suitable boys name for first child, not too wacky/not already used that we could not have gone through it again!

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/03/2009 11:46

dd would probably have been Elliot Patrick.
ds would probably have been Felicity.

Bumperslucious · 07/03/2009 11:52

DD would have been Noah or Jude.

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 07/03/2009 11:54

dd1 Jamie or Malachy
dd1 George

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 07/03/2009 11:55

Ds2 would have been Sophie Charlotte. We were so convinced we were having a girl we never thought about boys' names.

randomname · 07/03/2009 12:01

Noah, Elizah and Livia

edam · 07/03/2009 12:04

Always wanted and expected I'd have a girl called Lottie (Charlotte on the birth certificate) after my beloved 'adopted grandmother'.

Ended up with a boy but without realising it at the time named him after another dear family friend who worked closely with Auntie Lottie and is buried next to her. Was only when my Dad said 'oh, after Uncle X' that the penny dropped - dh and I had just thought we liked the name!

I would still love to have a girl called Lottie, though.

FfreckleFface · 07/03/2009 12:04

Ff would have been Atticus Ieuan. MIL told me after a few glasses of wine that she was so glad I had a girl because of 'that stupid name you liked'.

dollius · 07/03/2009 12:10

Isabella and Tessa

Also liked Florence and Matilda

ScorpiowithabigS · 07/03/2009 12:12

ds1 - Ebony
ds2 - Ruby (but wouldnt have had Ruby and Ebony iyswim)
dd - Dexter

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 13:11

DD1 - Corin or Caleb
DD2 - Roan or Reuben
DD3 - Noah or Cassius

Coldtits · 07/03/2009 13:13

Hannah and Emily

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 13:14

names I love but Dh wouldn't see past them were

Herbert nn Herb or Herbie
Hugo
Gabriel nn Gabe
Gilbert nn Gil or Bertie

god I need to have about 6 more kids to use up all the names I like

janeite · 07/03/2009 13:32

I have two girls but had they been boys they would have been:

dd1 - Laurie
dd2 - Rowan

If I had a boy now he would be called something along the lines of Gabriel, Benedict or Barnaby with Laurie (or Laurence)or Rowan as a middle name I think.

piscesmoon · 07/03/2009 13:37

Sarah, Louisa and Elizabeth

largeginandtonic · 07/03/2009 13:38

I can't remember them all but one of the twins was going to be an Erin and the latest baby (dd2) was going to be Wolf Alexander if she was a boy.

I think dd1 was going to be Linus.
