Please come here and tell me the names of *your* lovely children...

[BarbieLovesKen]

Would love to know whay "type" of names people give their dcs - i.e. if people stick to the same thrend or style of name for their DC so they flow well together or if it doesnt really make a difference at all.

I'm due number 2 in January and am almost decided on a name, but have found myself coming to decision by trying all names with dds. Just wondering what others do...

Would love to steal hear some...

Archie James
Lachlan David

If we have a third bound to be a boy we would call him Ted.

I have

DS, Corey Jason.
DD, Erin Mae.

Millicent Maria
Jasmine Zoe
Isla Sophia

Don't think it matters too much if names "go together", as long as they're not too similar. I like both Ellie and Kelly but since Ellie has already been used, Kelly most probably won't...

I will only mentioned my two birth children whom I named myself.

Nicolette Lee
Genevieve Raye

Both were named in the Jewish tradition of naming after a beloved family member who has died.

Clementine Mae
Rosie Jane
Lilly Abigail

DS1 - Karl Barrie Emmanuel
DS2 - Zachary Charles Michal

Dd1 - Hannah Frances
Dd2 - Victoria Claire
Dd3 - Lauren Louise

Wow, what fantastic names!

I think Flora, Clementine & Violet Ophelia have to be my faves, but I'm generally impressed by how tasteful and slightly adventurous you guys are!

We have Sally Aniela
(pr: Ann-Yell-a)
Polish for Angel / Angela, and was my Great-grandmother's name.

She would probably have been Simon Albert if a boy.

I too am not sure what to do about future offspring (if we ever have any!) as DH is much more conservative in name choices than me.
Current favourites are Bridget (Bridie), Nancy and Benedict (Ned) but DH has naysayed them all

i have convential (boring)!

daniel james caleb (1991)

and
molly elisabeth (1997)

they suit their names though! both good kids.

Bryonie-Rae and Millie.

I don't like Millie I wanted Alyssa but was overruled. Dd1 chose in the end.

DD1 Saskia Morgan (known as Sassie)
DD2 Elizabeth Catherine (known as Libs)
DD3 Isobel Frances (known as Billie)
DS1 Lucas Dominic Phillip (known as Boy)

tHellish Michal is Polish as well, was my dads name and my Name is Polish as well...

wow never realised so many people on here had large families!

my dcs names go together.

my SILs however are something else their daughters have 'modern' first names, (I would use another word but it's not kind so I wont!) then they have used in one case the whole name including surname of the other sister, the other has 2 girls and has given them both the first name of the other one, but their boys have old testament names (looks really weird together-and others have siad the same)

my other SIL just uses the names we have allready used for our dcs!!

so if SIL 1 is called Jane Smith (married Jones) and SIL 2 is called Mary Smith (married Walker)

their daughters are called

modern Mary Jones

new Mary Jones

the other SIL daughter is called

current Jane Smith Walker

then there is an Ezekial and Izac(!)

Solomon and Esme

Oliver Ryan

Alexander Benedict

If ds2 had been a girl we were going to have

Sophie Charlotte.

But that name's up for grabs cos I'm never having another one!

Freddie Dominic

Dylan George.

We are having a 3rd in a couple of years but have no idea what we will call him/her. I love ancient greek names. Penelope and Persephone are at the top of my list. I really love Athena but not sure if everyone will think we have named her after the shop.

No boys names planned at all.

Felix Leo

Finlay Thomas (DT1)

Alexander Linton (DT2)

Madeleine Laura (DD)

1dilemma I don't understand your post at all

DS Marlon Arthur Richard (last one after my dad who died a few years ago - actually, mainly to please my mum)

DD Agatha Hope

Their first names don't 'go' together at all but didn't think that was important at the time, although our shortlists do generally tend to feature more old-fashioned names.

No. 3 due in a matter of weeks (although any time in the next few days would be fine!) will be either Iris Ophelia / Ursula Beatrix or Reginald (after both my grandads), middle name tbc.

DD Lara Matilda
DS1 Finlay Edward
DS2 Isaac William

My DDs names are

Isabella Angelina
Chiara Imogen

DS (10) - Alexander Tyler
DD (6) - Rhiannon Cerys (Welsh father!!)
DC3 (28 wks pg) - Samuel William OR Olivia Iris
