What names would you have loved to have given your dds or dd but didn't have the guts to?

[weewillywinky]

and do you regret it?

No.

Fact: hormones can bring on temporary madness.

I should know.

Dylan for ds2. Settled for Daniel instead.

I do regret it, but everyone would have thought of that damn rabbit, and that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted him to be named after Dylan Thomas.

Loads that I liked and DH hated. But I don't regret giving them the names they have

Sebastian - loved it at the time but think it would be a little pretentious now.

Still regret not calling ds Theo though

dh wanted to call ds Harvey but now it might have been okay as every child in Scotland seems to be called Lewis or I wish I had spelled it Luis wwooh

Andrea/Andreas for DS, but I would have made his life a misery unless we moved to Italy, which was not going to happen. And as my GF was called Andres there are already about 64 andrews of one sort of another in my family

I wanted Jordy when I was pregnant with DS but knew I wouldn't actually call him that. Still think it's cute tho.

is definately cute

Jordi is George in Catalan. Which reminds me of Andreu, another one I liked but binned because of the dense population of Andr_ (fill the blank) in my family.

I also like xavier but dh won't have it and llorena for a girl but these name seem to make all my relatives retch, (or maybe it is too many after eights and lard)

zebedee - dp's idea, sort of like it now..i liked freddie (not fred) but no from him and lots of others..he really suits name he has now though

Love sebastian my next ds will be a sebastian.

my cousin whise second name is taylor just called his new mexican baby elizabeth, elizabeth taylor!!!

Elvis!

I love the name Newton, but was worried it was too silly (and a bit pretentious with our surname sadly).

Trinity, Lavinia, Rupert, Roman, Malacky, DH liked Montgomery(Monty) there's more but I can't think off the top of my head...

oh, Xavier aswell

& Alexi

& Art

otto

theo

helga

celeste

phyllis

merle

quite like joy, also

all of them vetoed for some curious reason

and felix-ds was nearly felix but...didn't look like one, somehow. we later found out he was born on st felix's day...

Cormac but it only really sounds nice in an irish accent, ditto several other gaelic names.
Xavier but couldn't justify it,as no french/spanish family links.
Lexie - although we went for something equally lovely chosen by DH ,this is the one i should've put my foot down on i think.

Dexter

Giselle

Gigi

All a bit foreign for an anglosaxon kid

Evangeline

Demelza

No regrets as dd's name suits her personality

Rasmus - don't regret not using it, might use it for no2 though

Jabberwocky, my Ds is called Ellis but FIL calls him Elvis

I really liked Kiki and Lola, fun short names for dd but settled with Madison.
For Ds I loved Dexter, Reuben, Miles, Milo. The list is endless but dh disliked them all.

I would have loved to all a son of mine St John or Tristan, but unfortunately those names are apparently "too posh to live" names in this country. (In Canada they're just weird.) Oh, or Olaf, Lars or Linus, but I blew that one by giving DS1 a Nordicy name, and apparently "themed" names are naff.

I still wish I'd managed to call DS2 Olaf. I think it would have suited him. Although I am happy with his actual name.
