I would of had Ben, Gregor, Anna and Iona.
Feels very wierd as we don't have any of these names.

DS would have been Bethany.

DD would probably have been either William or Alexander but probably good for her that she was a girl (we didn't know before she was born that she was a girl).

Allora · 14/05/2010 22:07

DS would have been Sylvie

tummytickler · 14/05/2010 22:11

I would have Abraham, Moses, Miriam and Enid

Tortoise · 14/05/2010 22:11

DS1 would have been Holly
DS2 would have been Xantia
DD1 would have been Joshua (xp's choice, not mine)
DD2 would probably have been Connor.

DD1 got both the girls names i would have used with DS's!

DD wounld have been Alfie... so glad she's Faith

Greythorne · 14/05/2010 22:12

Dd would have been Archie but we found out sex at 20 week scan and I think that we would have probably changed our minds even if she had been a boy as we are very indecisive!

Didn't even think about names together properly with ds until we found out the sex but I liked Harriet, Ruth, Phoebe and Nina for a dd.

hester · 14/05/2010 22:13

Joe

janeite · 14/05/2010 22:14

dd1 - Laurie
dd2 - Rowan

I love my dds but I ike both of these names better than the girl names they have!

muggglewump · 14/05/2010 22:14

Tristan Benjamin.

I still love Tristan, it's my favourite boy's name, am glad she was a girl though as ExDp left when she was 6 weeks old and Benjamin is his name.

She's Niamh Elizabeth.

janeite · 14/05/2010 22:15

Like not ike

Love Tristan Benjamin

tummytickler · 14/05/2010 22:16

Greythorne - I LOVE Huckleberry! Don't think it will go with my OT names or I would pinch it!

All 3 DSes would have been Alexandra Mary Grace if they'd been girls.

iwasyoungonce · 14/05/2010 22:19

Ned and May.

CrankyTwanky · 14/05/2010 22:21

DD would have been Charles.
DS1 would have been Celeste.
DS2 would have been Celeste or Mirabelle.

mydoorisalwaysopen · 14/05/2010 22:24

ds1 - zoe
ds2 - anna

CantSleepWontSleep · 14/05/2010 22:25

Dd would have been Elliot Patrick.
Ds would probably have been Felicity.

epithet · 14/05/2010 22:25

Dd1 - Ciaran
Dd2 - Joe

SoMuchToBits · 14/05/2010 22:28

Ds would have been Isabel Jane Alexandra

He is Jonathan Alexander

Cicatrice · 14/05/2010 22:28

DS would have been Isobel. DH thinks he would have been Eve but he is soooooooo wrong.

I really thought that DS would be a girl. We spent ages deciding ( and arguing) over girls names and virtually no time at all on boys.

maltesers · 14/05/2010 22:29

DS 2 - Alice
DS 1 - dunno
DD - Edward

bibbitybobbityhat · 14/05/2010 22:33

Theo and Daphne.

AccidenToryOnPurpose · 14/05/2010 22:39

Thomas, Hannah and Felix. Although, Felix because it went with what the RL names actually are, so if I'd had a Thomas and a Hannah, s/he would probably have been Toby (the other option).

We play this game sometimes with the dc's though - a sort of alternative universe thing, where I say, 'what would I be doing now with my two lovely sons and my daughter Hannah?'

They aren't as weirded out as you'd think...
