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...

Mine are:
Samuel(1998)
Kai (1999)
Rosamund(aka Poppy) 2001
Lydia(aka Kitty) 2003
Clara(2005)
Ronnie (2007)

Jacob James and Leila Grace

my girls names each time were:

Emilia Frances
Mavis Daisy
Zelda Frances

as you can see, i rather like Frances,and clearly, had I had a girl at any point we wouldn't have used it twice lol
I wanted it as a first name but dp was notkeen

Lewis James Noah Rhys

Lewis is after my great grandma (Louisa) and my grandad (James).

Noah is just cos i love it and dh picked Rhys (he wanted it as a 1st name but i got my way with Noah )

I have 2 dd's they are

Ellie Pippa
Hattie Alice

if they had been boys they would have been

Joseph Richard
Jack Thomas

Harry Kieran (2000)
Madeline Naomi Jean (2004)
Poppy Jessica Mary (2006)

We've gone with a Shakespearean theme - Miranda, Rosalind and Beatrice.

Jessie Mary
Harriet Poppy

DS is Oscar Matthew (born April this year).

what is the crack with dd's and dc's

Edith Eleanor Mary
Sebastian Wilfrid Joseph (would have been Agnes Anne Mary if he was a girl)

Wow, lots of Finns on Mumsnet!

I'm loving Woodrow and Pandora. Names I'd never have thought of!

Annabel (2003)
Gregory (2006)

Idobelieveinfairies, Keenan Luke is very close to mine and DH's surnames! He is Keenan and my surname is Luke with an r added to the end.

DD is Natalie Clare
DS is Daniel Simon

DC3 due in May. Our list currently:

Hannah
Georgia
Charlotte

Haven't got a list of boys names but the one thing I am trying to push is the middle name David (after my lovely Dad, but sadly after DH's bastard Dad so have a bit of fighting to do over that one!)

My 7y DD is Mollie Olivia.

If I had another girl anytime soon I think ti would either be Martha, Matilda or Florence.

Had DD been a boy she would have been Oliver Joseph. Not sure what I would go for if I had another - I like things like Edward, William, Charlie, Freddie, etc.

Kind of going with a mainly Scottish / irish / Gaelic theme

BOYS
Darragh
Lachlan
Dougray
Fergus
Fionn
Euan
Ruaridh
Cameron
Calum

GIRLS
Isla
Io na
Esme
Elspeth
Annabel
Ishbel
Caitlin

We've got Anglo-Greek first names and slightly more historical middle names (followed by very Cypriot multi-syllabled surname )

Nicholas Alexander
Matthew Lysander
Lydia Athene

My dd is Ava May (May is after myself and great granny)

If we have another dd she will be
Sylvie/Vivienne Isobel or for ds Jamie/Jude Lachlan.

I must say I'm absolutely thrilled that Ruby is not over-represented on this thread. That probably makes me very shallow . But it seemed to me, as soon as we brought our dd home from hospital, that absolutely EVERYONE else was choosing her name.

There are some gorgeous names on here.

I love Ronnie! whoever had that one.

ALWAYSLOOKING

is that true?

I have
Samuel Graham
Alice
DS has a middle name as he has my brother's name who died on the same day I found out I was pregnant.
DD doesn't have a middle name, as it just felt wrong to give her one that didn't matter quite so much as DS'.

Lee-Daniel Robert(1978)
Marcus David (1979)
Chynna Skye (1991)

Henry Ranulph Peter
Alexander Inigo James Emmanuel
Clementine Arabella Elizabeth
Wilbur Nathaniel Rupert Bruno

I have a Mathilda Beatrice Rose. If I had another girl she would be Josephine Esme Clara and a boy would be Barnaby Ramone or Seth Inigo.

Meggle has the best pairing ever. I just love them.
