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 Kaetrin or Mirren.
DD would have been Magnus (DH's choice - thank goodness she was a girl)

Firawla · 15/05/2010 01:47

ds1 would have been zinnira or inayah
ds2 would have been zinnira or zayana
probably...

Barnaby

Bumbleconfusus · 15/05/2010 04:42

DD would have been Jugurtha, we are still hoping to have a wee Jugurtha in future though to play with DD

Same names just the other way around. If dd had been another ds, then she would have been Richard Ezra - she was Ezzie as a bump.

bluejeans · 15/05/2010 08:57

Daniel. Still like it now and it's quite unusual (round here anyway) which DD's name isn't!

mumof2teenboys · 15/05/2010 09:01

Both of my boys would of been Freya if they had been girls. Still love the name and am now trying to subtly push it into the boys brains for when they might have children

Nemofish · 15/05/2010 09:04

Either

Eli (my vote)
Sebastian (dh's vote)

or more like

Brayden.

To be honest I find boys names reeeeally difficult, and those three are the least bad ones we could think of.

Fortunately dd was a dd, we always thought she was so she was named as soon as we had the scan confirming it.

Sorry that was a really long and silly answer!

MegSophandEmma · 15/05/2010 09:05

DD1 James William

DD2 Benjamin Luke

DD3 Douglas Robert

Nolda · 15/05/2010 09:21

George
Annika

Shodan · 15/05/2010 09:22

Ds1 - Melissa

Ds2 - Sophie Charlotte.

Can't remember what ds1's middle name would have been, but there definitely would've been one.

purepurple · 15/05/2010 09:27

Instead of Sam and Alice I would have Charlotte and Lewis.

bruffin · 15/05/2010 09:33

I have a DS and a DD

When DS was born he was going to be a Samuel or Samantha

We knew DD was a girl because I had an amnio so we only had girls named picked out, but I do like Sebastian for a boy.

TigerFeet · 15/05/2010 09:34

We found out the sex at 20wk scan with both dd's so never really discussed boys' names

But in my head...

dd1 Jacob Robert

dd2 Joseph (Joe)

purepurple I know siblings named Charlotte and Lewis

mayanna123 · 15/05/2010 09:36

DD1 would have been Quentin
DD2 would have been Benjamin

oldspeckledtam · 16/05/2010 16:21

DD would have been Abraham

DS would be nameless. There are NO girls names that H and I agree on.

weegiemum · 16/05/2010 16:30

Dd1 would have been Matthew
Ds would have been Madeleine
Dd2 would also have been Matthew (we changed our minds with ds!)

I now some people might now go but I'm quite glad ds wasn't called Madeleine now. He is about a year older than Madeleine McCann and I wouldn't have likes that association for him, especially when he is so young.

SirBoobAlot · 16/05/2010 16:38

Evelyn - Evie for short.

FranSanDisco · 16/05/2010 16:43

DD - Jack
DS - Holly

MamaVoo · 16/05/2010 17:04

Eve. I'm glad we had a boy though as there seem to be Eve's and Evie's everywhere at the moment (sorry SirBoob).

SE13Mummy · 16/05/2010 17:54

DD1 would have been Jonathan Philip, DD2 would have been Jude Michael.

treas · 16/05/2010 17:56

DS - Lowri or Betsan

DD - Aled, Ioan or Owain

scoobychocolate · 16/05/2010 18:37

DS would have been Leila or Libby. Really love the name Violet now.

letsblowthistacostand · 16/05/2010 19:53

DD1 - John
DD2 - probably Henry but DH refused to discuss names until we had the 20 wk scan so never really picked a boy's name.

YunoYurbubson · 16/05/2010 19:56

I would have had an Oscar and a Clementine.

But dc3 wouldn't be either of those names.
