- Hi, everyone.
So, today I thought I would do a tag video for you all.
It's a tag that I've seen going around by
some of my favorite mommy Youtubers,
and it is the ten baby names I love,
but will not be using tag.
I've seen a few people do this
and I love baby names, and I am
heavily overdue pregnant with baby number 3
and this is our third and final baby.
So, I thought I would do this video
and share our names with you.
Some of these names we haven't ever even shared with family.
It's been like top-secret the whole way through.
Especially the girls names.
But, this is definitely our last one.
I know lots of people are like,
"You know, you could have a fourth.
You might have a fourth one day."
Blah, blah, blah.
But, for us, I think it's definitely, this is our last one.
So, this is almost like showing that this is as well.
Because, I'm now going to share the names with you.
So, I'm gonna alternate between girl and boy.
So, I'm gonna do five girl's names and five boy's names
that I have always loved, but sadly will never, ever use.
Some of you will know that I have three sons.
Well, this is the third one in here.
He just needs to come out.
And the names that we have chosen for our boys,
we've always wanted names
that are a bit unique but aren't weird.
So, names that you could go ahead in life
be prime minister or a rock star.
Versatile names.
So, my first son is Fraser Matthew.
His middle name is after his dad, Matthew.
And Fraser, we named him after Fraser Island in Australia
which is somewhere that we traveled
and fell in love with when we first met.
We don't know many other Frasers at all.
He gets Fraiser sometimes because of the show.
But, most people can handle the name Fraser.
And then our second son is Caleb Dean.
Dean is my maiden name, so we kind of wanted to get
a family name in his name as well.
And we chose Caleb because we love it.
It's a bit more of a Canadian name
which is originally where I am from.
And, also, we love the band Kings of Leon,
and the lead singer in that band
happens to be called Caleb.
So, it kinda was a nice link as well.
So, we have Fraser and Caleb and this baby
is a secret, but his name is completely decided.
So, none of the names I'm gonna share with you
could potentially be his name.
He has a name already.
So, I'm gonna start out with girls names.
This name, it feels like we have kept it a secret
for about 6 years because it was always a potential name
that we actually both agreed on, which is really rare.
And this name is Luella.
We always loved that name for a little girl.
I just thought, again, it was a little bit unique.
Although, I've heard it bit more recently.
But yet, it's not weird.
It's kind of got like a
foreign tone to it like Lou-ell-lah.
And I just thought Luella Norris
would have been a beautiful little girl's name.
I liked the three syllables.
I liked everything about it.
So, Luella was one of our top girl's names
that, sadly, we will never use.
Now, onto boy's names.
One name that I have always had in my head
since I was a little girl,
but my husband never, ever liked it is Chase.
I loved the name Chase for a boy forever.
When I was little at primary school,
there was actually a little boy their called Chase.
And he was blonde haired, blue eyed,
really nice little boy and
I just loved the name ever since then.
I thought, again, it was a little bit different.
Yes, Chase was always one for me
but my husband hates that name.
The next girl's name is Freya.
I liked the name Freya.
I thought it was almost a bit of a surfer chick name.
But, of course, we had Fraser.
So, we would never have a Freya with a Fraser now.
But, I always loved the name Freya.
One boy's name that we will never use
that I have always liked is the name Brody.
I thought it would be really cool if we called Caleb
"Brody", because he would be a "Bro".
But, my husband really didn't like that name.
He said it was far too American sounding
and he just wasn't a fan of it.
But, I've always liked the name Brody
and more recently I've heard of the name Bohdi
which sounds like a really cool,
surfer kind of name as well.
But I don't know if Bohdi could grow up
and be a financial advisor or a prime minister
if that's what he chose to do.
So, I don't know if I'd ever actually use Bohdi,
but I really loved that name.
The third girl's name that we absolutely loved,
both of us loved, and that we actually
would have named this baby.
If this baby was a girl, this baby would be called Lani.
And that is actually one of my
closest childhood friend's names.
So, it's such a shame that we will never use it.
But when I was little,
my best friend was Lani, spelled L-A-N-I.
It's actually Hawaiian and it means "the sky".
Such a beautiful, unique name.
We would've named her Lani Emmie, I think,
because my name is Emily and my family, they call me Emmie.
So I thought it would be a really cute family link
and I just thought Lani Emmie would be
a really sweet name.
There's sometimes if you know someone with a name
and you don't really like them it kind of puts you off.
Well, the name Lani was the absolute opposite
because she's really sweet, kind-hearted girl
and she kind of makes the name.
So, I would have loved to have used the name Lani.
But, sadly, we will never get to.
The next boy's name is quite plain
in comparison to the other names
that I've always liked.
And that is the name James.
I have always liked that name.
It's a bit of a family name, as well, for us.
And if I had been a boy,
my name would have been James Christopher Dean.
And I thought the name James and then Dean
in the middle would have been really cool
cause of James Dean.
And also, although James
is a really popular name of my generation
I don't know many baby Jameses.
So, I would've loved to have had the name James for a boy.
Another name that was in the running for ages
was the name Isabella.
Which again is a bit more plain
but we really loved that name.
I loved the way it just sounds.
And my husband actually said that in our wedding speech
he said, "Oh, I can't wait for all of the babies.
Fraser, Freya, Isabella..."
He sort of started naming some of the names.
But he also has a habit
of thinking of all possible nicknames
when we were talking about baby names.
And he said, "Well, what if it's Isabella N.?"
He went, Isabella-nd."
And just completely ruined the name for us.
Another boy's name that I love
that was nearly Caleb's name was the name Jude.
We had Caleb the whole way through
my pregnancy with Caleb.
But, on the night that Caleb was born,
he was born on Storm Jude.
It was a really big storm in England.
And I thought it would be really cool that
if he was born that night, that we would
name him after the storm that happened.
Naming him Jude.
But, my husband was already so committed to Caleb
we didn't use it, but we did really like the name Jude.
And the fifth and final girl's name that we loved
but we will sadly never be using is the name Miller.
Now, this name only really
came up during this third pregnancy.
I was really into finding a surname name for our son
or surname name in general.
I just really liked the sound of those names.
And Miller came up as a potential name for a girl.
I don't know if I ever would have used it
because Fraser, Caleb, and Miller,
because she would have been my only girl,
I probably Would've wanted, maybe, a girlier name.
But, I really loved the name Miller for a girl.
And then, for the last sort of boy's names that
we will sadly never be using, as I mentioned,
I really liked surname names for boys.
So, there were so many that I loved,
but just my husband didn't really agree with.
And I really liked the name Carter, Parker, Grayson.
There were so many beautiful surname names for boys.
So I'm kind of cheating.
I'm not giving a fifth one.
There are just so many beautiful surname names
that I like for boys that we will never, ever use.
Anyway, thank you so much for watching.
I hope you liked this video.
I would like to tag any mums out there
who would like to do this video.
So, any of you that want to share your top ten
baby names that you love but you will never use,

And, yes, thank you so much for watching.
And I will see you very soon.
Bye.
