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?

I wanted to call DS2 "Sirius" after the Harry Potter character whom I love but wasn't brave enough. Also wanted to call him Xavier which is one of my all time favourite names but DH didn't like it. We eventually settled on a name that both of us liked well enough but neither of us loved.

Sebastian or Tobias

Daisy or Poppy

If they were the opposite sex, they would be;

Jasmine
Annastasia /Amelia (I never did decide)
Edward.

If I'd got my own way they would be;

Ross
Oscar
Ruby

If DH has his way we'd have;

James
Charlie
Charlotte

It's funny how your name tastes change, for some reason I'm really relieved I don't have a Jasmine.

Edith, definitely. Still love it, dh hates it

Names I secretly like/would have made unfortunate initials:
Tallulah
Susannah
Meredith
Arthur
Albie/Albert

DD should have been Hebe but dh said it gave him the Hebe Jeebies.

Had Charlotte/Lottie on standby for ages but not going to get the chance to use it this time.

I just knew with my first two what sex they would be.
Thought I would with ds2 so we'd chosen Celeste or possibly Mirabelle.

I desperately wanted Raymond for DS2. DH hated it.
I can't believe that people call it a boring old man's name -- how can you get cooler than Ray Charles?

For the boys
Sebastian, ( vetoed by dh)
Sam for ds1 but I decided he didn't look like a Sam!

For a girl( never had any)
Ella-Rose
Lauren/Laura
Grace
Amy
Rose
Annie-Rose
Lyrica
Rose of Sharon ( would never actually dare!)
Galadriel
Pippin
Arwen

bidi my cousins called raymond really suits him
dd was going to be florence but didn't seem to suit her so went completely the other way and chose unusual name
other names i like are
boy - laird
ezra
josiah
noel
girl - avril
victoria
celia
daisy

I loved
Christian for a boy

Tacita for a girl

I love your names (apart from Kestrel ), Zapostrophe. You have good taste! Hope you get a chance to use them.

Juliet
Mireille
Clementine
May
Martha

And for boys:

Leif
Arthur
Donovan
Tor
Keir

isis ... i probably would have used but dp said definitely no!

i've said it before and i'll say it again i wish lolita didn't have the negative feelings surrounding it because i love it. same with jezabelle

Oooh, and Ivor. I only thought of this one after we had already named ds. I love it and it really would have suited him!

SusieC, I had a doll called Jezebel when I was little. I thought it was beautiful!
And all my relatives let me use it and no-one enlightened me!

Oisin or Seamus if I had a DS

Kismett (as in fate and destiny) Loved it. Would have shortened to Kizzy for everyday usage. Am determined the next pet to come into the family will have the name instead

I got the strange names I wanted - we have Atticus, Algernon and Celeste with Cuthbert on the way.

Fimbo, I love Ailsa. It is my friend's sister's name and I've always thought it was lovely. DH thought we couldn't have it because we aren't Scottish. Poo.

Expecting dear child one, at the moment it is Clarissa for a girl and William for a boy.

If my hubbie had completely his own way, it would be Laura for a girl and Callum for a boy.

If I had completely my own way, it would be Eleanor for a girl and Simon for a boy.

My hubbie does not dislike my choices, but has cousins who have used these names for their children, and so doesnt want to. I dont dislike his choices, but have two different friends who have a son called Callum, and a cousin called Laura. Also, my mum strongly dislikes the name Callum.

wisteria12 - Does Celeste get shortened? What to?

CreepyFunbags - Not really, it's only two syllables after all. Some people call her Lestey, though I'm not sure why.
