So what would your LO have been called if they had been the opposite sex?

Just thought it might throw out a few more names for those who are searching for a name for their impending LO.

Wil was going to be Sarah Grace

Caitlin would have been Joshua George Maxwell

(middle names are FILs name & my granda's middle name).

Keira Amy Isabelle

Marcus john

To be honest ellie was never on our list of names. I wanted to call her Harriet but oh didn't like it so we hadn't decided on a girls name. She just looked like an Eleanor when she was born and it suited her.

I loved Harriet and Lucille, they're lovely feminine names. I think when you give a child a name it's a gift that they can take through life and make it their own. I like names that be shortened (I know some people hate names being shortened). So Harriet could be Hattie or Harry and Lucille could be Lucy or Celia.
My eldest is Charlotte, she often gets Lottie and Charlie.

You see, when we're naming these cutie little babies we don't know how they'll turn out! I hope that Ellie is a brain sugeon or top lawyer and Eleanor will be good as her professional name. On the other hand she may be a lap dancer or call girl and Ellie will be just fine.

I think my mum was thinking the same when she called me Penelope!
There's only my dad that says Penelope and it's when I'm in trouble (quite often)! So I'm plain Pen or Penny but it's nice that I have formal name too.

My son is Paul James, after his two granddads! For boys I like good strong masculine names!

Hehe what a load of crap for so early on a wednesday morning

rich would have been jessica anne, if he was a girl.

but if he was bald he would have been james richard, but he had hair so hes richard james
and it suits him

Harrison Jack

elijah was nearly hunter, but if he had been a girl he would have been florence

I love Florence.

it was my grandmas name - we will probably still use it but im convinced we will only have boys

We never picked a boy name as such cos I obviously had very little time between knowing I was PG and finding out she was a girl!

However I have always liked the boys name Alex and if I have one chances are he will be Alex

If I have another girl its not so clear, I LOVE Georgia but it doesnt go with Bonner I dont think

yeah georgia bonner sounds a bit like riding a bike over cobbles

Thomas would have been Hannah

I never really settled on a boy's name for Hannah, I think part of me always knew she would be a girl

xx

Had Oliver been a girl, he would have been Emily Grace

oh, I just posted this in the other one Arwyn would have been Matthew Thomas Robert, and my OH had no input into that name

Milo or Bailey

Lily would have been Joseph John although we would have shortened it to Joe x

Pinky - my friend Clare has 2 cats and they are called Milo and Bailey

Imogen would have been Oliver James Ronald (i'm just not convinced about it now!)

If this baby were a girl we'd decided on Isabella Evelyn (Evelyn after my Nanna) or Lucia Evelyn.

MJ would've had my ex's choice although I hated it so I probs would've got my own way and her name would've been Dylan. Drew was going to be Willow or Summer.

This hasn't been announced on Facebook (hush hush) so pip is still baby H or baby E. We've chosen Harrison for a boy, Harry as a boy Harrison as more grown up name. Eleanor for a girl, she'll be Ella, Elle or Ellie. We did like Eliza but we heard 2 grannys talking on the bus and one called the other Eleanor and Paul and I looked at each other and when we got off the bus we both said that's our name and we both fell in love with it.

We're not announcing names this time as family may say negative stuff about our choice etc... Xx xx
