My daughter was always going to be Grace Ann. Alas, no girl for me and no more babies so no Grace.

Oh, so many. It's actually one of the things that upsets me most about our decision not to have kids, I had such beautiful names lined up!
Hannah Nerys
Keturah Christine
Saffron Damaris
Kaylee Mara
Malakye Stewart
Samuel Dante
They're the only ones I can think of at the moment, I've got a book somewhere so I'll come back :)

Love love Kennedy until we both read it means 'unshapely war head'!
And some of the 'old' fashion ones like Ella, Charlotte, Audrey, James, Evelyn (Evie)
:sigh: yet still to agree on one...
If Spock was a boy it was have been Xanda Tyr Sol. i always thought we would recycle but somehow since she was a she Xanda seems to have passed. might use if we have more than one boy in the future but have a different names picked for our next.
when I was younger names that were my fave before I decided on my golden list were: Liberty, Freya, Sinead for girls, and Zeke, Achielles, Sean and Cyprus for boys. might still make an appearence depending on number of childen.
Fortuantly DH still says i can have complete 100% say ob our kids names even though ive asked him if he is sure millions of times. so the number of children will be the only limit.
Sarah - I love it, but even after three girls it hasn't made an appearance.
William - it would never have gone with our surname, plus I've never had nor will have a boy.
I always loved Lucinda, Cassidy, Maeve, Sydney (we were sooooo close to using that for DS2 had he been a girl) and she was going to be Sydney Ellen, like Annette Benning's character in The American President. It was the one name we both absolutely loved. I have always had a soft spot for Alice (My great Grandmothers name) and Ruth (my grandmother's name). I would dearly loved to have used Ruthie, but I know she would have freaked out. She really has a thing about not using family names. I don't have a boy's name because I've already used them ;) If the two girls had of been boys they would have been nameless LOL because we just didn't have anything that we liked for a boy at the time we were having them.
I always wanted Lillian for my daughter(s) when I was little. I was going to have a whole garden of little girls. Then I had a boy, then another boy & when I finally got one of those many many little girls I always thought I would have, Lily was such an over used name I couldn't bring myself to use it. Isla is much prettier anyway :P. Then I went on to have 2 more boys so I was never going to get my Garden of names anyway lol.
I also like Seth & Zenith for boys. But Both names that DH never really put on his maybe list.
When I was in my early 20's I was adamant one day our baby girl would be called Nikita... Then as I got older and actually became pregnant realised how I did not like that name at all!
I had a dream about my beautiful baby girl and in the dream she was called Lucia... She was only a dream and I went on the have 3 boys back to back!!!
So no Lucia for us... Any takers??
Henry, Leo, Theodore, Atticus for boys. For varying reasons.
Pollyanna, Pippa, Tessa, Geneva, Beatrice for girls
As my surname is Hoar I am never going to have a child whose name begins with 'A', which got rid of Amelia from my list. I'm not so upset about that though cause its so common nowadays. So no 'A' names for me. I'm the only one in my family who gets to be A. Hoar :P
i really wanted to call my baby "Amelie" but got voted down. Also loved loved loved Ruby.
:rofl::
Tamsin
Tobias
I love Elliette for a girl (ok huge scrubs fan here, and yes I know why she was named Elliott lol), but it can never be used as my younger sisters boyfriend is Elliott pmsl.
I LOVE Toby for a boy, DP wont budge on it if we have another boy. He is a chef and cant get past some chef he knows with the same name and he doesnt like him lol.
Malachi he hates, too different for him. Basically I like unusual names, he likes traditional lol. Deciding DS's name was horrendous, lucky we didnt have a girl as we couldnt agree on anything. I'm amazed he came out with DS's name, and amazed I liked it as its a top 20 name lol (Xavier). Next baby will be a nightmare to name :lol:
Wow, why must men (except ~TT40~, lucky you) make name picking so hard on us ;)
There are so many fantastic names in here and a few I am going to throw at DH, which I am sure will be knocked back but hey, worth a try.
MLR, if your DH can't pick a name from that list I feel for you. That list has some great names.
Blessedatlast, I had a dog called Bonnie (actually had Bonnie and Clyde :)) and she was the best dog ever.
DH wanted Ferris (as in Bueller) and Mavis. I don't mind Mavis, but it would have been poor torture for either kid as our surname is the name of a rental car company that rhymes with both.
If DD had been a boy, she'd have been Vincent. She was supposed to be Elisabeth if she was a girl, but it doesn't suit her, so it's her middle name (but spelled Elizabeth :( )
I also love Audrey and Celeste and Leonard. oh, and Alice.
All boys here, so never got to use Emilia, Emma or Bridie. I adore all three girls names, so I would've had terrible trouble deciding on which one.
The boys names my hubby nixed were Brady and Riley. Interestingly enough, he happily agreed to Rory (DS3) after DS1 asked if we could name bub after a certain cartoon racing car ....
As a Doctor Who fan, I thoroughly approve :):
