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?

Dh wanted Anakin

I wanted James before I got the name Peach

REALLY anted to call DS3 Darwin, would do if we had another, but don't regrret it.

Yes, Jack from Lost was in Party of Five.

Even then, he was a happily married father of two - they're now expecting a third child.

His wife is Italian and they live mostly in Italy.

Wanker.
That would have been good.

In America, people would have thought Wanker very unique and original.

I always liked Mabel. DH refused. Also fond of Gabriel. And Raphael.
Do like the names my DCs have tho. Never regretted DS1's name in partic, I love it even tho it raised some eyebrows at the time.

Lol at all the Xaviers! We have a Xavier Xiros at school. He's so at the end of the register!

Anouk

they used to live in hackney dino, have now moved to walthamstow...

dd was almost minnie. to go with ds who's max (and we call maxi). but it probably wouldn't have been funny in 20 years. i liked caspar for ds, but dp was having none of it.

Omg! Was that really Jack in party of five?!?!

bettythebauble my dd was born on christmas day too! How are you finding it with b'day parties and things?

Love, love, love Rex. But DH thought it too dog-like .
Really liked Clement (would have called him Clem).
Also love Gabriel, which my niece has just used for her little boy.
And possibly Edmund.

Oh Hoxtonchick if you could just keep on shuddering at the thought of Walthamstow,and pass it round your way ,thanks! that way we can keep all you ridiculous people the right side of the murder mile. I mean, hackney has sooo much more going for it!!!Praps not so many toddlers with mullets and Che Guvara t-shirts called Otto ,but hey-ho....

WOOPS,obvs meant E17 is not overflowing with Ottos and Esmes!

whoops, sorry interstellar .

My name's mentioned a few times here! My parents gave all four of their daughters unusualy names and I remember as children wishing we had more normal names but now we all like them!

I liked Phoenix for a boy but settled for Felix instead.

I was being tongue in cheek HC,being an ex Dalstonchick myself!!! And my ds name does have a touch of the E8's!!!

Hermione as a middle name, did maria instead as it is a family name. Still wish we had done XXX Hermione Maria XXX

Soren
Evan
Elliot
Rufus

.....if I had a boy

I have 2 girls though with boring but pretty names. If I had a son he'd probably have been a James.

ha ha, i am being dim interstellar . loads of our friends have moved to e17 as hackney prices are so silly. so what's your ds called?

DD was called Tallulah Belle right up until the registry office when I had a huge fight with her dad. In the end we chose Madison which I loved anyway.

I also liked Presley.

caravaggio

seurat

aubrey ( as in beardsley)

reubens.

octavia - was born in october, but had a boy anyways!

It's so difficult! She's 4 this year, so we're giving her a party on the 22nd at a local community hall. I thought it would not go down well with parents, but most friends can come, and I'm luring parents to stay with mulled wine and mince pies

Angel - not sure if i would have regreted it.

oscar and kai for boys wasnt allowed and for girls honey,coco and lilly.
i think none would suit my dd or ds's now though and each of there names have quite a lot of meaning for us.

Dd1 was Lily Morgan until my (drunk, Welsh) dad said it and it came out as "llllllllllllllllllllllleee" so we changed it quick, and dd2 was Isabella Eve until my nana (Welsh matriarch) said "well I won't call her that, it's stupid" and we also realised she didn't look like an Isabella, so they now have "classic" but pretty names.
