Do you have names that you will regret not using?

[~Trish~]

I would have loved to use the name Byron for DS2, but it clashes with our surname LOL!

The boys name I would have used for DD is Kai.

I also would have loved the opportunity to use the girls name Isla.

Never mind! Maybe I'll save those names for a pet .

[alioops]

I ran out of girls names

But I am sad that I wont get a Hamish, Caleb or Tobias if we stop for sure now. Maybe in a few years...

[Nai]

I will never have a little Elodie or Jameson

[Nelle]

Ohhh there are some lovely names in here!!!

For us, I'm just really sad I'll never have a Titus. It's my favourite name, Silas was next best (and I do love that name too!) I can't even think to change the spelling so I like it. Taitus, Thaitus, Tytus...they don't look as good to me.

Stupid culture with Tit us, or Tight arse. I don't think I could do that, I usually don't care about names that someone 'might' be teased about, but the likelihood just seems too high with Titus.

*sigh* Isn't it a beautiful name though? Titus...

I always wanted to use Sapphire as a girl's name.... and I love Willow too....

[Cassius2]

my regrettables include Willow, Aneke and Astrid...DH just doesnt want to even go there

And i really liked the name Silas for a boy, but again, DH just looked at me like i was a crazy lady lol.

luckily we have agreement on the name either way now...although i can always dream lol!

[Cocolove]

ETA: Maz - don't you even dare see another one for us.

LOL.
I wish someone would see another one for me

[~Kim~]

I used to love Maeve. It was all I wanted to call DD....but now as it doesn't look like I will have any more, the need to use it has lessened....actually I didn't even ask if we could use it for DS....

[rufalina]

Yep... My little Cordelia Rose will never be... oh well...

Nelle - I can identify with where you're coming from there. I love Japanese names and my favourite boys' name has long been Hiro, which would have sounded a bit silly on a strawberry-blond, blue eyed, decidedly Anglo kid living in a borderline redneck part of the world. And as this is our last kiddo and it looks like she's a girl (or a reticent boy), we won't be having a Hugo now.

And I really love Aine for a girl, but Euan and Aine together are too similar in both spelling and pronunciation. Although, now I see them written together I kind of like it. I'd like to go with another Gaelic name for this one, but a) I'm a stickler for traditional spellings, but b) some Gaelic names spelled traditionally are a long way from being phonetic and can be really hard to get right.

I am sad i never got my Aricyn Mehkelti Eden *sob*..
Would have been the perfect name for no. 3

Suse - I'm good friends with an elderly Japanese lady (she lives on my street) named Hiro . Why can't you use it for your girl? It's an awesome name!!

And at PinkPalace!

[Freya]

I doubt I'll ever get to use my beautiful girls name and it breaks my heart

Carys Audrey Leontine

Although Ds1 is insistent he will get another brother and his name will be Fox

Suse; I reckon Caoimhe would be awesome with Euan..........but I could care less about spelling matching phonetics (Im a fan of gaelic names too!)

We had Aine picked for a girl too but thought we may have to spell it as it sounds Anya we may hopefully still use it

I have always loved oscar and felix but DH was never keen

I like it Freya, but I think my daughter would either hate me for saddling her with a name that needs constant explanation or would move to Ireland if I name her that though. Niamh is is one of my favourites - and is another good example of a Gaelic namesthat is non phonetic when spelled using English. Not many people outside of Ireland know that the 'mh' is pronounced 'v'.

[Arimeh]

I am sad i never got my Aricyn Mehkelti Eden *sob*..

ROFL!!!! You dag....

[Freya]

TBH I think in this day and age it doesnt matter; my kid have names spelt exactly how they sound (although unusual in origin) and I STILL have to spell, respell and repeat it 20x to new people! So I figure atleast with an unusually spelled name, esp if its gaelic which means its actually spelt "normally", you expect to have to spell or prn it a million times.

I think a pp suggestion of using Hiro for a girl is good too!

I reckon whatever you pick will be fabulous though
