What daft or embarrassing names did you toy with when expecting?
I confess to: Chad (family connections to Staffordshire); Nelson (my hero - friend told me "you can't do that, you're not black"); Charles Martel (in acid moment -no comment).
Eventually gave sprog sensible names.

My elder daughter was known as "Jeremy" before birth, and my younger daughter as "Jonathan". (I did change these names afterwards)
I'm preggers at the mo and refer to the baby as "Bunty". I've had to assure my husband we won't be calling it Bunty when it's born though!
OH alwyas referred to our son as "Caractacus" before he was born. He really got my mother going - she was quite taken in!
Little boy up the road when his Mum was expecting the second kept asking what the baby would be like. They kept telling him the baby would be tiny. When she arrived he insisted on telling everyone that her name was Tiny. This went on for some weeks amid some worry that it would "stick" and that she would turn out to be tall and buxom. Happy ending, he was eventually persuaded to address her as Carys. Gwen
Impunity. We really fancied being able to say 'I'm going to nursery / swimming /shopping whatever with Impunity'.
I really did know a family whose three daughters were named Faith, Hope and Charity.

Eldest son was known as "Boris the Bulge" while I was expecting him. Became "Baby Boris" for a while after birth but only to OH and I. There's a more sensible name on his birthcertificate. (With apologies to any Borises who are reading this. Nothing wrong with Boris as a name, just doesn't go with our Welsh surname.) (No I'm not actually Welsh and neither is OH.)

Believe it or not, I did seriously contemplate naming after the place of conception!
As she freely admits herself, I taught that Victoria Beckham everything she knows. MT

Until she decided that "Kitchen Table Terrier" was just leaving the poor child open to teasing.

we refered to my daughter as brioche before she was born, because it was my treat of choice at the time! I actually think it's quite a sweet name.
Some ex-neighbours of mine nicknamed their baby's potential room 'Eric's Room' - guess what they called their little boy when it was born!
You are a pack of cheeky monkeys! And, no, the answer is not Whipsnade Zoo. MT
