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 just wondered it's a really pretty name.

Don't get cats and fish. The cats will eat the fish.

DS would have been Bethany
DD would have been either William or Alexander I think. She wasn't Bethany as that was the name DS wasn't if that makes any sense.

I would quite have liked Josephine but DH didn't. Or Hermione. Or maybe Persephone.

DS would have been Erin, DD would have been Odhran.

wigglemama - How do you pronounce Odhran?

I wanted to call DD Allegra (DH is Italian, so we were looking for an Anglo-Italian name; I was also feeling quite Byronic at that point, LOL).

But it means "cheerful", and DH was worried that DD might not be a cheerful child, and it would be terrible when she visited Italy to have to introduce herself morosely as "Cheerful".

Still think it's a lovely and much underused name.

Anyway, turns out she is cheerful indeed, so it wouldn't have been a bad choice, but

oops... pressed send too soon...

but the name we chose suits her perfectly, anyhow.

DD1 would have been Oscar Lando.
DD2 probably Jasper Harold.

If dd was ds I was planning on calling him Brendan because my Mum's boys name was Brendan but she never had a boy to give the name to. I thought it was a nice thing to do.

EVERYONE I tell that to almost faints because they think it is a horrible name... come to think of it though they also nearly faint when I tell them my dd's actual name.

Twirlymum - Skye is a lovely name.

Nappyaddict - SERIOUSLY HOW did you remember all those names....???

If we get a cat I'm calling it Romeo, regardless of gender. I love the name Romeo, despite the Beckham connection! It would sound completely bananas with out surname.

Like Lillyanna for a girl.

Graeme
Robert
Stewart
Andrew
Kit
Tate
Bobby
Jude

Tabitha

I too would have loved Kit or Rafe (both family names). Oddly, I have no girls names that I lust after.

I quite like Elsa and Edith.

I would have loved a little boy called Jude.
It wasn't to be.

If dd2 was a boy I'd be VERY tempted to call him Arjuna.

For a girl Romilly. For a boy Alban.
But I got a name I adore for DS anyway!

Bizarre... I just drafted an answer to this thread... only to realise I posted almost word for word a year ago

Why is this at the top of baby names then?

I also liked Eden for either gender and Fathom for a girl.

I wanted to call daughter Tiger Lilly but was talked out of it by EVERYONE

We had Keavy or Ebony picked out for girls. I also really liked Tessa.

Boys names that got vetoed were Sebastian, Xander & Reuben

I loved River for a girl when I was younger, also though Indigo was really cool for a boy. And Declan was very big for me, might still use that one though.

I have a Sam...

also thought.
