DD3 was three,, but due to SN, had the mental development of a two year old. and came up with some inspired name choices when we had DS and wanted Flop, Fireman, Barney or Plinkaplonk. We suggested a compromise of Sam instead of Fireman but I was met with 'Sam not fireman Sam chinchilla .

Where she got that from, I don't know.

DD1 and 2 were five when I had DD3 and the names they suggested were Columbus, Oliver, Justin or Rory for a boy, and Emily, Hilary, Carla or Brooklyn for a girl. I can get Oliver, Rory and Justin, and Emily. Not sure where Hilary came from, and Carla was the childminder's friend. Brooklyn....I don't know where that came from.

They suggested Isadora, Ethel, Amelie, Jenna and Ruth for DS, and on finding out that he was a boy, River, Xayn (this was the spelling DD1 and 2 agreed on apparently), Wolf, Kasey and Peregrine.

Dd1 and 2 are now thirteen, and DD2 recently told me that she wants two children and will name them Raven Alexander and Susannah Wynter if a boy and a girl, but if she had two boys, Raven Alexander and Tyger Geoffrey Andreas, and two girls would be Susannah Wynter and Fallow Isabella Rae. Interesting name choices.

DD1 wanted to name new baby Cornflake- she was 3. DS (DC2) thought Noisy would be appropriate for his baby sister (DC3). We ignored both suggestions. However, when I was pregnant with DD1 my sister dreamt I named her Loaf- so apparently my whole family is a bunch of nutters... ??

For my baby due in May, DS (5.6) wants Ninja or Cyber Jack for a boy, NinjaGirl or Rosella for a girl. Confused by all of them except the Jack part!

I have been reliably informed that my future grandchildren will be Isobel, Bob, Rowan and Lucy. Although DS2 has now decided that he wants 17 children, so more names will be needed...

They are 6 and 4, so I'm not worried yet!

DS is 3. All his teddies are currently named "Her", "Him", or "Nanny". Not looking promising for the future Grin

My DD was 2 when I was pregnant and when people asked her what she thought the new baby should be called she alternated her opinion between 'palm tree' and 'toucan'.

I will soon be 34 weeks with DC2 and DD calls the baby "Ba-Ba-Black Sheep." I keep saying we'll need a normal name when the baby is born and the main suggestion has been "Pasta."

I am expecting DC3. My DS (nearly 3) has informed me that he wants a sister called Edward :o

DD (5.5) has come up with some remarkably sensible suggestions - Rosie or Matilda for a girl, and Peter or Jack for a boy.

Don't think I'll be taking his advice!!

I am expecting DC2 (due today - no sign tho) and DD (2y 8mo) would like to call the baby Jessica, or Cress. I think it's a Meg and Mog reference... She refuses to entertain the possibility that it might not be a sister.
