what would you have called your dc if brave enough or if different gender?

[cheesesarnie]

dd was going to be james.ds1 was going to be daisy,ds2 was going to be ruby willow or maggie if opposite sex.
names i like and either kind of wish id been brave enough to use or if i could have ten more children would be-
kitty
tallulah
olivia
pearl
iris

felix
joseph
taylor
seb
teddy
oliver

i will get lots of cats i thinkor fish?

if my dss had been dds they were going to be Heather and Jessica ...awful! thank God they were boys with names which i still love. I liked Lola a few years ago so caled the cat it

If DD had been a boy she was going to be called Oliver Joseph

Hector - really wanted Hector. Somewhat reeived that DC3 was a girl so I didn't have to make that decision!

Delia
Emmaline
Alphonso (after the mango)

Hector is so cool - I love it.

My third ds would have been Rupert.

However we called it a day after 2 ds' and now have a Bulldog called Rupert.

I liked (but DH hated)

Josephine
Hayden
Skye

My imaginary future children would be called

Ivo
Otis
Ned
Theo
Lyla
Clementine
Cleo
Scarlet

Dh would shudder at the thought

If I'd had a girl I would have fought for Savannah.

still want Gabriel for dc3 who is now 8 months old, it honestly really suits him. sadly it's not his name.

If I had severe memory loss and decided to have another baby I like Sylvie or Ariel for a girl.

We had some quite outlandish suggestions for boy's names (we had a girl anyway), which I think we would have chickened out of when it came down to it - at least for the first name, think they still have middle name potential:
Augustine
Constantine
Etienne
Emmanuel
Ludovic

Emil or Jerome

• just loved Emil and the Detectives. But I had girls.

I wanted to call dd2 either Angel, Alyssa or Anja. But DH wouldn't let me.

I was a single mum with dd1 so she has the name I wanted for her.

I love 'male' names for girls -

Stevie
Drew
Elliot
Charlie
Andie
George

Also have a thing for Japanese names -

Kenichi
Haru
Reiko
Sakura
Sosuke
Takeshi
Ren

The name I have picked out if I have another DD is the surname of a film director...not posting it in case I get my way! DH currently doesn't like it, but I'll wear him down

Oh and it isn't Spielberg in case you're wondering

If DD was a boy she would have been Jacob or Joshua, JJ for short as her surname starts in J.

I love:
Angela
Pearl
Merle
Edith
Lyra
Leo
Sebastian

Ex DP wanted to call our DD Dave if she was a boy!!
My Dad said I would have been Pedro if I was a boy!!!

Girls names that I liked when pregnant with DD are:

Iris
Esme
Lilly

But I plumped for Francesca!!!
Most people hate it but I love it

If dd1 had been a boy she would have been Alex.

If dd2 had been a boy she would have been Alex. She is actually Alix!

Ambrose, Gabriel or Valentine for a boy - all rejected by DH for being too poncey and/or girly and liable to be a target for bullying.
Given the unlikelyhood of any of our DC ever attending a private school I conceded that he had a valid point.

Just some of the names from my lists (which have been kept for future use!) that DH wouldn't even consider.. (hope I have better luck persuading him next time!)

BOYS
Arlo
Johnny
Denholm
Zander
Rafferty

GIRLS
Raine
Stella
Gypsy
Anoushka
Rita

If I was brave enough I would have called DS Miles. It's a great name, but vile in a brummie accent I think.

Loving Atticus, Tristram, Horatio, Herminone - Zapostrophe.

Clemantine, im expecting dd in July but dh just laughs at this.
