When you were a child/teen what did you want to call your future children?

[LetThereBeRock]

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?

I remember being about 10 and thinking Karen was a cool name...

I wanted twin girls, called Siobhan and Samantha.

I wanted a Sophia and got one. Added an Alban eight months ago - would never have picked that as a kid!

My favourite girl's name when I was 5/6 years old was Lilla...never told anyone until I was pregnant & only told my husband. Had a boy first time round so didn't get to use it, but my 2nd was a girl & DD is called Lilla

At about 11 I wanted to call my girl Seven, after a girl in a book. I really like the name Jareth (the goblin king from Labyrinth)but my OH says it's rather wussy, (he doesn't, but what he does say isn't exactly very PC lol. He likes lots of name from Playstation3 games, but they're all a bit pretentious or weird, like Sephiroth and Cloud!

Didn't want kids, but none of hte elderly relatives (ie my mum's age) believed me so I chose Scrofula and Embolism.

I wanted two girls - Indie-Mo Mackenzie and Destiny Mae.

God knows what I was thinking

I was going to have a succession of boy/girl twins with matching names - 8 kids in all!

Alexander and Alexandra
Harry and Harriet
William and Willimena
Thomas and Thomasina

But even as a child I thought it was highly unlikely so instead bestowed those names on the runner beans I was growing from seed. Which was great as I added many more matching name pairs to my 'bean plant babies'....

Oh and when I was very young I thought the name Crystal was extremely beautiful and sophisticated....

Doozie - too much time spent watching 'Dynasty'?!

I wanted twin girls

Liberty and Britannia

and a boy

Vinny-Kingston

That's just embarassing.

Celine and David ( Girl I hero worshipped in school, 2 years older than me was called Celine)

Later Heather or Abigail ( holly hobby dolls anyone?)

Later again twins called Faith and Hope

Later again Angela and Nigel

Have 4 boys now and didn't use either of the boys names!

From a diary in 1978:

Patsy Alice
Joshua Harvey
Piers Henry
Theodore James
Portia Scarlett

I was ahead of my time, no? And I didn't use any of them...

My twins were going be called Daniel and Danielle

I think it was round the time I had a crush on The Karate Kid

wanted Lorcan...got a Ben
wanted Jessica...got a Jessica.
wanted Joshua...got a Freddie

will read this tomorrow when i have more time but i wanted Daryl (too much Mallory Towers)

Better is my 4 yr old son, he plans on 3 children, their names will be:
Lovely-Girl
Lovely-Boy
Bob

Sally as a young child, then Chloe when older. Never thought about boys' names, and had 2 boys, so didn't get the opportunity to decide whether to use them! I still quite like both though actually.

I wanted an Abraham and Zachariah.

I was going to have two daughters - Charlotte Patricia, to be known as Lottie, and possibly Venetia Elen after my favourite Georgette Heyer heroine and my sister's middle name.

Had a ds!

I was quite influenced by the Phoenix family and wanted boys called Leaf and River and a girl called Rainbow. Luckily my dds have escaped that fate since I was about 13 at the time!

Sandra and Roger - thought they were the coolest names ever when i was 11. Probably from
the Liver Birds, and James Bond.

in our school there was a girl who was so beautiful and was the cleanest,though not the smartest of us,,her name was N-Kay,,not kidding,,pronounced en kay,,well my daughter is named something more fitting,,and proper,,

Rocco, when I was about 16

And it was a long time before Madonna's.

I went through a phase of really liking the names Karen and Hayley when I was about 12.

I wanted twins Bethany and Megan (Beth and Meg)and also wanted to be called Penelope or Naomi when playing dressing up games!! Have used none sufficed to say though know a Penelope and Naomi! Boys names never featured and just as well as i have girls!

catra (?!) cat for short

so glad I was never a teenage mum
