And it was :happy: When I was younger all my dolls were named either Amy or Emily and insisted that's what I would call my daughters but didn't turn out that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1404206 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:14:48 +0000 Koolbreeze 1404206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1's name is a name I've loved since I was 13 or so. I didn't think I'd ever use the name, but it fit him perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1404196 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:12:38 +0000 travelgirl1 1404196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my sister used my favourite name, Sophie. She also used my second favorite, Ella. The name we chose I'd never actually heard of before, and judging by my family's reaction, they hadn't either :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1404145 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:01:09 +0000 birdofafeather 1404145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember names I liked when I was young, but it definitely wasn't what we named DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403473 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:35:33 +0000 jhd 1403473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't be using any of my fave names from childhood. Either they are already taken (niece &amp; nephew) or they are just too popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403469 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:34:21 +0000 raspberries 1403469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh, my favorite name was Kelly, because of Saved by the Bell - I don't think we're going there for our LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403468 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:34:17 +0000 HabesBabe 1403468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, but two of my friends did. They named their girls Sofia and Brooke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403450 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:31:14 +0000 CottonCandy 1403450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My taste in names has not changed since I was a kid, however, I couldn't get DH on board with them! We still did pick a name I've always loved, but it definitely wasn't my #1 from when I was a kid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403446 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:30:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1403446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My tastes slightly changed, but not much. My favorites when I was a little kid were:<br /> Mira Serene<br /> Elizabeth Lynne<br /> Aaliyah<br /> Vaughn<br /> Cody</p> <p>As a young teen I remember being obsessed with Bianca - I thought it was the coolest name ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403402 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:15:59 +0000 IRunForFun 1403402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No kids yet, but I only thought of girls names when I was younger, and I was obsessed with Gabriella and Hannah. I had one of those dolls that came with a birth certificate and monogram stickers and she was Gabriella. I still think they're pretty names, but I won't be using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403394 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:10:50 +0000 coopsmama 1403394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I actually kinda like Antonia. I wouldn't use it, but it sounds elegant and strong. Antoinette just sounds so hoity-toity! Haha. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403334 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:51:22 +0000 autumnlove 1403334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I liked Antonia!</p> <p>@sandy: I still like Laura, Lauren and Danielle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403322 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:49:26 +0000 Ginger333 1403322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did :) I've loved DD's name since 7th grade, but it's a pretty classic name and doesn't come in or out of fashion IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403319 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:49:09 +0000 sandy 1403319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the names Laura and Danielle when I was little. I also loved Brian/Ryan for a boy. There is another boy name I loved as a child but we may use it so I'm not disclosing (very plain classic name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403315 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:48:22 +0000 coopsmama 1403315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HA. No. I had horrible names picked out back then. Antoinette was a front runner as a kid, for awhile. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403308 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:47:27 +0000 rattles 1403308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! Her middle name is one that DH and I found together, but her first name is one of two that I had planned since I was young. DH didn't like one of the two, but (obviously) he loved the one we chose. She was due right around that saint's feast day too, so it was an easy choice for a finalist. We took two names per sex into the delivery room, and DH picked it upon meeting her. Teenage me is thrilled :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403304 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:47:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1403304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was totally obsessed with the name Sherry. I don't even know why but I had like four dolls named Sherry. </p> <p>I don't think I'd ever thought of C's name as a kid. I really didn't think if it until a few months into my pregnancy. We always focused on boy names since we were so sure we'd only have boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403294 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:44:51 +0000 autumnlove 1403294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: I totally remember Chevrolet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403263 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:38:10 +0000 mamimami 1403263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: All of the HB mamas with kids name Kakeela are going to be really offended.</p> <p>PS This thread reminded me of Ramona Quimby, anyone remember how she named her doll Chevrolet because she thought it was such a lovely name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403175 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:16:45 +0000 Mae 1403175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol no. I mean I haven't named her yet but the finalists are not names I think I had even heard of when I was a kid. I never spent much time thinking about names as a kid because I never wanted to be a mom, but I do remember for a summer I'd thought up the name "kakeela" (rhymes with tequila) and I thought it was AWESOME and if I ever had a kid I'd name her that. YeaUmNo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1403165 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 11:15:02 +0000 Corduroy 1403165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You mean did I name my baby Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae? The name I was certain I would use? No. I didn't even use my more sophisticated version: Sundae. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1402921 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:11:02 +0000 illumina 1402921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I guess so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1402916 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:09:54 +0000 autumnlove 1402916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I think it was on my list but spelled as Jayson...lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-lo-a-name-that-you-liked-since-your-childhood#post-1402899 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:05:33 +0000 artsyfartsy 1402899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I liked the name Jason for a boy when I was young.
