What a fun game 
Hannah was going to be Lucas Mark (family tradition says boys have their father's christian name for their middle name). But because we found out she was a girl at 20 weeks, we stopped plotting boys names. So if she was a boy we probably would've spent the following 20 weeks chopping and changing

If Gemma Katherine had been a boy she would've been Tom Harrison and Cameron James would've been Laura Grace. I have sooooo gone off Tom and Harrison (no offense meant it's just I know so many Tom's, Thomas' and Harry's now! Still like Laura Grace though. Cameron was named 5 minutes after he was born as we couldn't agree on boys names....funny how dh gave in after he'd seen me give birth .

If we have a boy it will be Frederick Robert or Frederick Andrew.
Frederick Andries is my Dads names and I always wanted to call my boy that so my dad said perhaps change the Andries to Andrew so Grant can actually pronounce it. Grant's first name is Robert but his Dad is also Robert so that is why family calls him Grant but he hates the name Grant and doesnt want another Robert but coming around to combining the two perhaps. So we will see next time around what we get. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We didn't have girls names for Ollie as we didn't name him until we found out he was a boy. This one we are fairly sure is a girl and have *almost* agreed to name her Niamh Lilia Anne, but if she is actually a he, he will be named Isaac James Maxwell  ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

LOL BS when I announced what I was going to call Maya, one of Willie's charming relatives named their rat Maya. But I refused to concede.
Maya would have been Gabriel or Kane. The gremlins would have maybe been Hayden and Damian. This bub will be Chiara Louise Whiti te Ra if a girl and Luca Shakur Wiremu John if a boy. We picked the boys middle names when we were TTC the gremlins, Shakur is after my biggest male influence as a writer, Tupac Shakur (Maya was named after my biggest female influence, Maya Angelou), Wiremu is after Willie and John is a family name in every generation on both my mum and dad's side, and my brothers name. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Charlotte Kate would have been Harrison Patrick, which our new wee man has now been named. Patrick is my grandfathers name and Harrison would have been Emily Nina. Nina after DH's mum as there are all boys on that side of the family and she would have had no other chance of having anyone named after her as both us and DH's brother are all done now on the baby front!!!

Jacob Russell Bruce would have been Jaimee Lyn and Charlotte Lyn didn't really have a boys name as we hadn't discussed names really, prior to finding out her sex at 34 weeks. My pick was Hamish or Alex and I'm not too sure what DH's pick would have been, cos he hated both mine. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

We were still deciding on boys names when we found out isla was a girl. But the only boys name we both could agree on was Ryan,..but it doenst go with our last name. I liked Caleb, but not so much now.
We have another girls name lined up, but not a boys name,...for 'if' we may need it in the future! |

yeah, but when I was preg with Jake, you never heard much about her, and the Lyn is a family name. This time round, Roid still wanted to go with Jaimee Lyn, but I said NUH UH, too britney... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Paris Harmony - would have probably been Bailey Michael, Issac Michael, Xander Michael or Xavier Michael
obviously cos we didn't have a boy 1st time we were still planning on doing the traditional middle name thing if Ayja had been a boy, she was going to be Leo Michael. #3 was going to be the same name, spelt differently either way: Sage(boy)michael (lol we were still holding out hope) or Saige (girl) and unsure of middle name. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I loved Eabha - Pronounced "Eva" or "Ava"... Personal preference methinks. But DF absolutely refused as he didn't want her to be having to spell her name for her entire life... But hell, I have a pretty straightforward name yet I'm having to spell it constantly for people... Serenity, yeah ok - I can kinda understand needing to spell that out... But Fox? Yeah- How daft do you have to be?
Anyhoo... If Eden had been a boy she'd have been Lucas James. If Number 2's a boy then we'll go with the Lucas James... If it's another girl, it's most likely that we'll name her Ivy Faith... But hell, Eden's only 2 weeks old - I shouldn't be thinking about alternative names just yet haha. ------------- My wee girl is the love and light of my life!
