I think my ex had the hormone problem!!
If it was a boy, he wanted to call the baby Django!
Though I think Django Reinhardt a fantastic guitarist, explaining that 'D' is for Django seemed a bit difficult.
Fortunately I had 2 girls!

My hormones behaved perfectly :o)
I wanted to call the first after an arabian 'Juliet' character - so got away with it.
The fact that a female terrorist - who actually hurt no-one and impressed me a lot - had the same name was irrelevant - honest!!!!

Lol ...Mamiddau.....my third child would have been a Nathan but was a girl so obviously didn't have the name . Another one came along 18 months later and I'd gone right off Nathan and decided on Milo if it was a boy . Another girl was born......now she accuses me of going to give her a " dogs " name if she was a boy as we have a dog named Milo now........lol

I bet my son wishes I hadn't given him Merlin as one of his middle names.......sniggers...........lol

Yep.....My boy was going to be Stephen Benjamin, but I think if he was a girl I would have stuck with Hannah Victoria. :))

Edit....ops wrong way round...Benjamin Stephen. I still have my dairy for the due date saying Hannah or Ben due :))) And before the boy name we were thinking of Jack, then my neighbour had a boy and called him Jack, so we dropped that name lol

I wanted to call my 1st child Christopher, and my 2nd Michael. The hormones kicked in - and I gave birth to girls!

hiya Muffy!

kind of! H was going to be Nathan if she was a boy. She wasn't, but when I found out I was pregnant again, OH said "nathan for a boy?" and I said, "nah, I've gone off that", then found out I was having a boy. I reckon that I "knew" each time, so agreed to a name that didn't work for H cos I knew she was a girl, and then wouldn't agree to it for O cos I knew he was a boy!

Did anyone else have a name in mind for their child until the hormones kicked in towards the end of the pregnancy? Then changed your mind completely?

My eldest was supposed to be Kate and my youngest Cerys until month 8 both times ......I still like both names but the ones they actually have suit them much better xx
