We went through the whole pregnancy calling him Boris, it just seemed to suit him whilst he was inside me!! Everyone was really worried that we were actually going to call him Boris!!!!

We had 3 names chosen, and when he was born he just seem to look like an Oliver. It took us forever to agree on the final 3 though! We have some girls names but we are still in debate about those. I really like unusual names and DH likes very safe names.....so not sure where we will end up with the next one!

Lesieli was named before she was born. The first granddaughter was always going to carrty her grandmothers name. Her dad chose her middles names.

Mercedes was called Autumn all thru my whole pregnancy. Her father wanted Christina or Erika but I didnt like them. A week before Mercedes was born her dad said he wanted to call her Mercedes. I said no it was Autumn and had been since I was 12weeks preg. WHen she was born I cried my eyes out (baby blues of course) she didnt suit Autumn so I went with Mercedes. That just suited so much better. Middle name is her nana's name.

Alize was named by his father before he was even thought of. One night 6 years ago he comes home from work(worked in a bottle store)  with a bottle of Alize saying he loves the name and wants to call out next baby this boy or girl. SO when I was preg with Alize he reminds me of our conversation lol. I still have the bottle too.

Ella's name was pretty much a joint decision- it was one of the few names we could both agree on and it was my favourite name. Also everyone always asks us to spell our surname, so we liked the idea of having a nice easy to spell first name.

Middle name Ligaya means happiness in Filipino, which I though sounded really nice and we liked the idea of her having a Filipino second name (DH is Filipino). She also has a second middle name which is my maiden name.

I pretty much chose Ethans name, I have always loved the name..but his dad liked it to so I was lucky, we talked about other names but I always knew I would win.

After him watching me give birth one of the first things he said was "you can call him what ever you want"

Andrew was a name we picked out of a book after he was born. I wanted an "A" name and that was the only one that we called him that suited him. I got the second name rights and named him Andrew John the John after my dad.

Joshua was a name I wanted for our first but wasn't allowed it. So once he was here and DH went through the names he liked and none of them suited him I suggested Joshua again and it did suit him. At first we didn't have a middle name as DH didn't want to use his first name, so I suggested one of his middle names and he chose Gareth.
