    I actually really like Hiro for a boy...

    Cleo Elizabeth. *sigh* We may have more, but it was to be ds's name, and it jus doesn't feel right, giving it to another baby.

    I wish I had stuck to my guns and called Eva Violet...

    I wish I had stuck to my guns and called Imogen Daphne or Myrtle or Audrey...

    I still really want a boy so I can name him Drazic It's the only 'unusual' name I would ever consider and it's the one I've had picked for a boy since I was 14

    I also regret not being 'allowed' (lol but I suppose DH had to have a say, too!) to use Cailin for a girl - I love the song by Unwritten Law and again, it's been in my top 5 girl names since I was a teenager. I named DD1 Emily after the From First To Last song, it would have been nice to have both the girls named for songs that I really like
    But, DD2's name is Hayley and it now reminds me of the singer from Paramore, who's cute as a button and has red hair like DD2, so near enough's good enough I guess

    I also love the name Fletcher, but our surname starts with Fle.... .

    Cloud for a girl. I just love all the different clouds their shapes & colours & the emotions they can evoke. BUT DH doesnt like it even my compromise of Cloudia, so I have a second favourite if we have a girl.

    Sadly, little Paige will never be... Damn surname! Both DH and I love the name, but as I pointed out, calling our daughter Paige Reid would be a bit mean, no matter how much of a bookworm she is. It's bad enough we have an "I. Reid" (and possibly another somewhere down the track, Ianto would have been Isabelle if he was a girl. We may still use it.)

    ^ DD1 is Emily Paige, I wanted DD2 to be Alicia Reide So there's another name I regret not being able to use, DH hated it
    Ophelia is another name I would have LOVED to use for one of the girls... again, another one DH couldn't stand

    Fletcher was our 2nd pick for DS. DH had a slight hesitation cause it is his best mates last name, but I got the go ahead from said mate, so it was still up there till the last minute..

    And I really like Mikayla for a girl.

    I loved Oliver and Oscar, and I don't think I'll ever get a Matilda or a Julia...

    Sad I will never get to use Isla because it clashes big time with our surname.. If I was french (and probably lived in france!) I would be able to have Ettienne for a boy, but in Australia, this is just not possible!

    I had my heart set on Ara Beth for a girl... but Ara is too close to DS' name so I doubt we'd use it even if we had a girl
