I know that not everyone thought about this when they were a child but if you did what names did you love then, and did you use them?

Caitlin for a girl, as was a favourite book I read as a teenager. Was very well used by the time dd came along so needless to say I didn't use it, as much as I still like it

DinahRod · 02/06/2010 22:03

Jason or Michael

Lucy-Anne or Jade and definitely not.

MollieO · 02/06/2010 22:04

LaRagazzaInglese · 02/06/2010 22:18

Dee and Ashley - bleeugh!

ilovemydogandMrObama · 02/06/2010 22:25

Pele. Met a Hawaiian woman named Pele and she was such a beautiful person. Really strong, but gentle and thought I would name a girl Pele. Never did....

LadyThompson · 02/06/2010 23:17

When I was a small child,

Jasmine and David (quite conservative really)

When I was a teen,

Septimus Darwin and
Julia Cordelia (was having a big Brideshead Revisited phase)

Don't like any of these now, possibly apart from Septimus (and now I have an Octavia!)

I wanted a girl called Aqua. Bloody hell...I'd forgotten about that...

DastardlyandSmugly · 03/06/2010 08:49

Oh have forgotten I also wanted another girl with Duran Duran's guitarist John Taylor who I was going to call Jonanne

boodleboot · 03/06/2010 09:57

I really wanted to have a little girl called Epiphany.....Pip. I was even more gutted because a friend of mine was actually born on 6th Jan (which is the date of Epiphany...) and her mum had called her Beth instead!!!!

thecatatemygymsuit · 03/06/2010 10:05

Damian and Midas (I read too much Jilly Cooper in my teens).
Then had a phase of wanting a Che.
THank god I had a girl!

asdx2 · 03/06/2010 10:06

I wanted Pagan, Roxanne and Shyloh for girls no doubt inspired by books and films that I had enjoyed.
I didn't use any of them thank heavens.
Never really considered boys names as thought I'd have girls tbh.
