I didn't have a theme as such but it turned out that both my bubs have my number 2 choices as their names. I had picked out names before meeting DH. DH didn't like my choices lol! Before even TTC DS, I had picked out a second girls name since DH hated my girls name choice so much. Then I changed jobs and it was my bosses daughter's name . When pg with DS, I did a list of about 20 names of each that I liked & put them in order of preference. DH picked my number 2 from the boys list. The number 1 is his middle name. When pg with DD, it was a bit harder as I had taken her name off the list due to the boss's daughter. Since we had so much trouble, I ended up putting it back in. Guess what we choose? Yes, my number 2 name again. Her middle name is a family name though. Funnily enough, my former boss has recently had a baby and given her the same name lol! Because I had dismissed it, it didn't come up in discussions if DS was a girl and we choose a different girls name for him. A friend then named her baby the girls name we had chosen for DS in between DS & DD's births.
