I'm sure I have more that I need to think of

Ive always been tempted with Cuchulainn for a boy & Boadicea for a girl but even after 6 kids (2 boys 4 girls) Ive never let that urge win as I know that when they grew up they'd kill me.

I've come back to add Sahara and Tatiana to my list. I love these names but I'm not sure I could take the arguments with MIL that would follow.

Oh yeah, an accidental name

in my family, it's a tradition for the 1st two kids to have 2 names (ie 1 middle name) then 3rd - 6th kids to have 3 names & after the 6th child they have 4 names (like me)

Maybe that's a way of stopping you having a football team as you soon run out of names

Anyway my 1st two, f1 & m2 have 2 names. When f3 was born I did the three names thing & went to see the registrar to do the business almost immediately the precious little bundle had drawn her 1st breath.

I knew what I wanted and how it was spelled.

The registrar lady was, as far as I could tell, deaf, dumb & stupid. About 6 times she either got the spelling or the order wrong till I lost my temper & shouted name1 name 2 AND name 3

3f now has four names - the irritating cow wrote "AND" as a name. Of course no-one noticed until it was too late.

At 1st I was livid then I thought it funny then we forgot all about it. F3 LOVES it though & is PROUD of the "AND"

I wanted DD to be called Layla but DH hated it.

I LOVE Gabriel for a boy but DH wouldn't hear of it.

He's such a spoilsport!!

Boy

River
Wolf
Bear
Tiger
Mungo

We were very tempted by Hero or Io for DD2 .

I still look at her and think of those names occasionally but I love the name we gave her and it is quite unusual enough for where we live .

Also really like Atticus for a boy , but think that would have ended up as a middle name in reality .

Drizzle!

(last night's episode of Glee )

Boy

Dax

Girl

Cassidy

When I was 14 I announced that I would call my future daughters Cheyenne and Sioux. My Mum said "you'll change your mind". Sadly, she was right...

Oh god.....
Right
Tostig
Ulysses
Stigan
Evangeline (but I'd hate the shortenings)
Zeke
Only really have one girl's name.
I'm really thinking about #3, but DP says no chance.
But if we move soon........................

Allaboutme - I love Indiana...but our surname is Jones Also love Dakota for a girl but DH said he thinks it sounds like we are trying too hard to have a name like Indiana.

Popped back to add Hunter to my boys list. DH loves this one but my mum pulled a face when we told her! Although she is in my corner on my choice of girls name should we have another so can't be too cross that she put us off Hunter! Moral of that story is never tell anyone your name choices in advance of baby being born!

HarleyQuinn, I love your girls names. Evelyn is lovely but I don't like Evie. So don't think I'll be using it.

Sorry just thought of another girls name that I love but in the end decided it didn't go with our surname.
