Do you have names that you will regret not using?

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....

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.

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!

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
