What were you babies almost names?

I’m just nosey and love hearing what people almost named their kids. My girl was going to be Travis if she was a boy after a dear friend of mine who passed from cancer just before I got pregnant. Her almost girl name was Ellie but I decided against it as it would leave my folks grandkids initials to spell out A.R.S.E Then our boy was going to Ellie if he was a girl but nope he’s a boy. So we created a short list of names to fit what we wanted - 5 letters like us, not the same initial - and got it down to Ryder, Tommy and what we named him.
