We chose all the names at the start of pregnancy and just allocated them once they were delivered so we knew not to call son Melissa...lol

Son always moans that his two Christian names total 20 letters and form filling is a nightmare. He's lucky I hadn't started family history research or we may have stuck him with a third name of Lightfoot....lmao

I was told that I was going to be called Peter!

All throughout my first pregnancy I had a name for a girl but only 3 days before I gave birth (to a boy) did we come up with a boys name so, no, it didn't get changed lol

My second was a girl and we kept the name we would have used if her brother had been a girl.

Nowadays, I do like the names Cassidy and McKenzie for a girl and Jamie for a boy but as I'm not likely to have any more it's irrelevant really.

My ex BIL was going to be called Colin but my ex then 3 insisted he was called Peter after their budgie....lol

My 3rd son was always going to be Matthew until he was born.....I had told my 2 other sons that if i they had a baby brother he would be called Matthew, as soon as he was born the boys came up to see him and i said what are we going to call him, thinking they would both blurt out Matthew but the yougest who was 2 said Martin so that had to be his name.
He is now 40

My sons name was decided when we found out we were have a boy.

Now my daughters name i had liked since i was about 7 or 8 but waited 30 years before i could give it to her so there was no way i was going to change my mined.

I even had a row with some woman over it as her daughter had the same name & she said when she had thought os it no-one had heard of it before.......So i said to her that i had liked the name for 30 years so it wasn't new and she didn't just make it up lol

we were going to call our daughter Samantha Victoria
untill she was born
and she looked more like a Leigh-ann

hubby wanted to then call her Storm but my food went down

I had a favourite uncle who had died overseas, Jack and I quite liked that. Unfortunately, at the time my surname was a name that would have made my son's name sound too much like Jack Rabbit, but I had another name I preferred which I got from my favourite romance novel, so he was named that.

I really liked Laken for a girl - didn't have any girls though. Oh well, maybe a future grand-daughter?

My first was going to be called Kirsty if it was a girl, as was my second. Both boys.

Third was a girl, 12 years after my second son and I called her something entirely different..... 15 years later, now affectionately known as "lazy baggage". lol

We were going to call our son Simon - hubby agreed too - but about 3 weeks before he was born, I changed my mind and we called him something else. Years later Hubby swears blind that he didn't agree to the name Simon as he didn't like it, and that it was just me who liked it. I keep telling him that he did agree at the time - he's just got a bad memory! LOL

Ahhh! One good reason for naming children after Fathers, Grandfathers, Mothers and Grandmothers....all them there hormones would then have nought to do with it.

Susan who thinks good old fashioned names should be the norm :-)))))))

A nurse chose mine as I wasnt a boy my mum couldnt be bothered..

I wanted to call my oldest if he was a boy which he was....Dylan or Byron so I could say I was reading either of the one I choose at the time to sound intelligent....or if he was a girl he was going to be called Emma after my Gran he wasnt call any of these name but he has mostly been called Byron as a nick name....

second was Jack or Victoria and is neither but mum kept saying wont be long before our Jack or Vera is here....hmmm


Princess was always going to be her name ...only chose a boys name just incase whilst in the deliverly room..Adam

i had so many names for littleman but his dad veto'd every single one. they were to weird he said haha

but me fave was macauly and kenzie

or cassy n mia for a girl

My parents didn't have a name for me (I was 6 weeks premature).
As I wasn't expected to live, a Catholic nurse took it upon herself to name me Olivia (baptism in the sink etc).
Mum was so infuriated at her gall that she sent dad out to register me. The only 'appropriate' name she could come up with in her fury was that of my grandmother's little sister who died aged 4!

There's positive thinking (not!!)

Daughter was actually called Grace for the first couple of days but it just did'nt suit her, changed to the name of her great grandmother and glad we did, God love her there is nothing graceful about her.

LOL Muffy, the thing is they moved away when the baby was 6 months old so Jack wouldn't have been a problem. But looking at him the name we gave him suits him down to the ground. :)) xx

With my eldest daughter my husband did not like any of the names I did. He insisted on her being named Elizabeth or K****. I didn't like Elizabeth!
My second daughter if hubby had had his way would have been Elizabth agan but I refused and named (with Health Visitor) her when he was at work one day - She was a week old by this time!!
My son was alwys ging to have the name he has - It's my hubby's middle name.

I was supposed to be called Teresa - But my dad wasn't having any of it! lol

Pat

Catherine Zeta Jones had a girl called Carys shortly before I gave birth to youngest.......hence the veto.......just remembered that when I read your post Suzy lol xx

My first baby was going to be Matthew but it didn't suit her.

My second was going to be...I just can't remember!

Number three was going to be James or Geraldine.

When SHE was born I went off Geraldine and to this day she can't imagine why I liked it!
