Aidan Christopher

Rowan Ada

[MrsWilson]

I've always love the name Brennan for a boy. I told my older sister I didn't have to worry about her "taking" it from me because her last name is Drennan and that would be so funny to name a kid Brennan Drennan!

I like Brianna for a girl.

We haven't gotten to that point yet. Still a couple years away. I'm sure I'll add more when we start talking baby.

Merideth Morgan
Mallory Grace
Avery Elizabeth

[dlj78]

Girl's name
Ryan Elizabeth

Boy's name
Zachary Thomas (the middle name isn't a definite)

[tbell]

Ryan Elizabeth

This is the name of one of my friend's daughters, except she spells it Rhyan. :)

[Sabriel]

My favorites for a girl are Rebecca (we'd call her Becca) and Rosemary (combination of my grandmothers' names - Rosa and Mary).

DH's favorites are Matthew and Jennifer (I really think Jenna is cute, but DH hates it.)

[kmmommy]

I love the name Ryan for a girl, but DH won't go for it. I really like the spelling you posted tbell!

[Guinness]

I wanna play:

My names for the moment are:

Jace Taylor

and

Keanan James

Unfortunately DH doesn't like to play the name game until we are PG - doesn't he get a woman's obsession :rolleyes: . He is usually either 'No' or 'Eh don't love it'. When I ask him for his favorite names and he is willing to play I get things like:

Justin Case (just in case)
Justin Casey (just in case he)
Ryder More (ride her more) - More is his middle name
Derek Jeter (yankees)
Joe Torre (yankees)

UGH. . . . no help . . .

[kmmommy]

Guiness ~ One word - MEN!! :rolleyes:

Once you get pg he won't stop talking names!

[Guinness]

Kaeden's Mommy: Just wish he'd pick something and not be joking.

I forgot Antone Smoozy - he's italian

He does make me laugh though. . . that is a good thing overall ;)

[imagirliegirl]

Right now I'm loving Avery Ryan for a girl. Avery cause I think it's pretty and Ryan cause that's dad's name. I dunno if he'd ever go for it.

Other names I like:

Aaralyn
Aeryn

Aidan
Caden
Caleb
Jacob
Landon
Mason
Noah

[EmilyZA]

I have SOOO many that I love... well, girls names that is. I don't really have a lot of boys' names!

Girls' Names
Ella
Julia
Anelise
Charlotte
Mia
Natalie

Boys
Nicholas
... and that's about it. :confused:

Won't be TTC for AT LEAST another year anyway...

[dlj78]

I like that spelling tbell! I don't think I have seen that one :)

[Camdynlyn]

I was going to suggest (I did in the other thread) the spelling Ryann for a girl (Ry-ann).

[seapod]

We are thinking of some names...

Morgan LeighAnne or Morgan LeeAnne
Soren

[Heidi9771]

Boy Names
Aiden
Alexander
Adrien

Girl Names
Lola
Sophia
Ava

[Pinkie]

These are the current front runners for us ...

[Katie1]

I think I will be visting this thread often for inspiration, since we're stumped on the perfect baby names.

Here are my favorites that my BF has already vetoed:
Girls:
Sophie (he likes it but already has a niece with that name)
Madeleine

Boys:
Domenic
Gabriel

Names that we both agree on, but I don't really love any of them:
Girls:
Lucy
Emma (I do love this but it's his ex's name)

Boys:
Aidan
Jack
Liam
Kian

[gmb4503]

Girls:
Kendall
Kalyn
Jordyn
Emma
Alexa


Boys:
Carter
Connor

[mrstim]

Our Picks as of right now:



Yup, we're traditional and boring... :)

[kmmommy]

I love all these names.

We're more into modern names, but so many of the traditional names are great too. I can't wait to have another baby to name! I loved trying to decide on K's name even though I drove DH crazy!

[emmjay]

We have another month or so before we start trying, but we have talked names already! They are all family names, so they're pretty old-fashioned/traditional.

Girls -
Frances - DH's grandmother (I don't know why, but I love this name)
Rose or Rosemary - DH's grandmother and aunt
Kathryn - my grandmother
Zada - my great-grandmother, such a unique name but this one has been vetoed by DH :(

Boys -
Jack - my grandfather
James - my uncle
Martin - my great-uncle, and another name I really like. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for the kid ;) ) my husband HATES this name because he went to primary school with someone named Martin who was made fun of by all the kids because he drank skim milk. The fact that I drink skim milk doesn't seem to make a difference. :rolleyes:

He has also vetoed Connor, which was his grandmother's last name - he said it's "too popular now". This veto thing is already getting on my nerves... ;)

[Twylla]

Girls:

Kelsey Jaelyn
Janelle Carmun
Vanessa
Erica

Boys:

Trevan Gordon
Dylan Thomas
Dylan Harrison

[Natasha]

LOL, neat to see so many people like Ethan (my sons name). So far, we like:

Emberlyn
Kemberlyn
Kailani

Keaira
Middle name: RuthSerene (no space)

Noah
Jorryn
Tiernan
Benjamin
Jeremiah
Matthew
Middle name: Williamson

GIRLS
Megan(but I like Meagan)
McKenna
Lily

Ethan
Dylan
Joshua

If ds had his way, his baby sister would have been named-Thomas, Henry, James, Percy, Gordon or Dora....watch a little too much cartoons???

[ktdelsur]

There are a few I haven't wavered on liking, but DH seems to change his mind on a whim. I'll mention a name and he'll say, "Ooh yeah, I like that, but then two weeks later I mention it again and he says, "ew, no, are you kidding?" :rolleyes:

Girl:

Madeline
Natalie
Meredith
Allison
Ella
Ava
Avery - (DH says this name reminds him of some big ol farmer on a tractor with straw hanging out of his mouth...I LOVE this name so I'm disappointed.)
Eleanor (at least for a middle - family name)

Boy:

Andrew (DH's middle name)
Thomas
Ethan
Adam

ETA: ali ohli: Do you have someone in your family named Ione? I have an Aunt Ione and a Great Aunt Ione - I'd never heard it anywhere else besides my family - and they pronounce it "I-OWN", not I-OWN-EE. Interesting.

[ali_ohli]

ktdelsur I got Ione from the actress Ione Skye, better known as Diane Court in Say Anything:

http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2002-03-07/movie_videodvd-1.jpg

I would pronounce it I-OWN-EE. (Though it would be a cold day in hell before DH agreed to that one, so it's a moot point. ;))

[Brady]

I just had a baby boy, Connor. Connor was not my #1 choice, the name Evan was, but I was sick of fighting over it with my DH! :o I will say now though, I can't imagine him being named anything else! (I do agree on the popularity of it as someone else had mentioned.. I keep hearing it being called in parks, supermarkets, etc.)

If we had had a girl.. she would have probably been Kate, runner up was Allison (we really didn't agree on much here).

Our other boy name choices were:

Evan (this is my cousin's name, so my DH thought it was "weird" to use)
Chase
Ryan
Daniel

I always enjoy reading other people's choices!

[PeanutButter]

We are YEARS away from TTC, but I can't help thinking...
I really want to have family names, and DH has basically agreed to that.

GIRLS
Barrett (our top choice by far)
Ella
Eliza
Caroline or Carolyn


BOYS
Hayes (my fave - DH is "eh" on it)
Wesley
Hamilton (nickname issues)
Charles
Thomas
Rhyss (pronounced RICE - I think my sis has dibs)

[ilovepink]

Girls' Names:

Samantha Christine (the only girl name we have picked out so far, she'll have DH's initials and Christine is a friend of the family that died about 5 years ago)
Rebecca (my sister's name, we'd call her Becca since my sister goes by Becki)
Alivia
Jillian (or Gillian)
Elizabeth
Kathryn (DH's Grandma Kate)
Maggie (DH's Grandma Maggie, her real name is Margaret, not too hot on that name though)


Boys' Names:

Grayson Everett (our boy name so far but I also love Grayson Joseph or Grayson Christopher)
Joseph
Bradley
Thomas (DH's uncle who died a few years ago, they were very close)
Andrew



That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[duke's flygirl]

I love reading names to get more ideas...

We will be trying for # 2 the Fall/Winter and have names picked out already:

Boy: Liam Nelson Liam is short for William my dad's name and Nelson is my FIL, this was picked out for Baby #1

Girl: Audrey Elisabeth

DD is Ryleigh Jane Ryleigh because DH loved it, and so did I when he brought it up, and Jane is my mom's Middle Name, and my MIL is Juanita..the Spanish form of Jane.

Other names I love:
Girls:
Ella (Great Great Aunt)
Grace
Beatrice
Anastasia(Grandmother)
Caitlyn
Ryan

Boys:
Jacob
Ryan

That's all I can come up with for now.

[DisneyGirl]

Alyssa
kaitlyn


Boys

Christopher

[Turtle]

Girls name

Genevieve
Vivianne
Lucia
Isabelle
Gwenyth
Olivia

I better have girls since I have more names :rolleyes:

[sunchaser26]

Girl: Bailey (family name), Bella, Felicity, Maeve, Sasha

Boy: Antonio, Brandon, Carter, Gabriel, Jacob (favorite), Ryan

[linekelei]

Kids are at least 2 1/2 years off, but DH and I agree on a select few (he tends towards the very traditional side-I, on the other hand, like the trendy names):

Girl:
Cate Jacqueline
Mia (no middle name agreed upon, but I like Emberlynn)

Boy:
Samuel Thomas (DH's initials)
Colin William (William is a family name on DH's side)

Others that I like and would require some arm-twisting on my part: ;)

Holland Suzanne
Claire Emerson
Keena Reese
Lane Preston

Anderson William
Cash William or Cash Stephen
Carsten William

I also love the name Piper for a girl, but it's not even up for consideration w/DH.

[kmmommy]

Love how most of us have way more girl names than boy names! Why are boy names harder to come up with?

[meatpie]

Kaeden's Mommy We can't come up with hardly ANY names we both like.

BOYS
Jack Maurice (most likely the name if we have a boy)
Owen
Gregory - doubt this one goes through
Ty - vetoed because my college ex from 10 years ago was named Ty (I mean who really cares :rolleyes: )


GIRLS
Samantha Michaele
Samantha Maney
Samantha Alene
Reese Michaele

I can't think of any others. We seem to veto each other quite a bit!

[sublime311]

Ooo, fun!! We've pretty much decided on Paige Sierra and Nicholas Dakota, but here are some others I like:

Girl Names:

1. Emma
2. Savannah
3. Grace
4. Isabella
5. Haley
6. Jenna
7. Jessica (I don't know what it is about this name that I really love, but I do, but DH rejected it because an ex was named this :mad: )

Boy Names:

1. Cooper
2. Connor
3. Ethan Ryan (have always LOVED this combo - DH doesn't though.. :( )
4. Sam (not Samuel)
5. Liam
6. Will (not William)
7. Jayden (also Jay)
8. Jack

Can anyone think of a different middle name for Nicholas that keeps the "nature" feel of Dakota??

[Camdynlyn]

Kelli, what about Nicholas Skyler or Nicholas Forrest?

[sublime311]

Kelli, what about Nicholas Skyler or Nicholas Forrest?

I do like Skyler, but DH doesn't! Grrrr! And I LOVE Forrest, but Forrest Gump sort of ruined it for me! Don't get me wrong, I love the character, but kids are mean - I can imagine the teasing! I guess it wouldn't be so bad as a middle name.

Hmmm, what about River??

[Camdynlyn]

Ooh yeah, I like River. Oh and Ryder. That is on my list, too!

[imagirliegirl]

Oh goodness. Last night we talked names and didn't agree on anything! He hates all of my favorites! The only names we came up with and sort of agreed on are: Austin and Dawson.

[eli1126]

Love how most of us have way more girl names than boy names! Why are boy names harder to come up with?

Now I have the opposite problem :D I can't think of any girl's names that I just love. I am starting to like Avery, but I have a feeling that it will soon be "the name" like Madison, Grace, Emma :(

Beth

[ali_ohli]

ITA about Avery. It's lovely, but I'm hearing it all over the place lately. Angie Harmon just named her new baby girl "Avery Grace."

Do you guys all know about the Baby Name Wizard (http://babynamewizard.com/)? I love playing with the Name Voyager tool -- very fun for procrastination. :)

[mimieliza]

DH and I were talking and we both really like Winter for a boy.

Comments? Thoughts?

Can anyone think of a different middle name for Nicholas that keeps the "nature" feel of Dakota??

Winter came out of a similar discussion. DH really likes outdoors names - River, Leif (which is not really), Sierra, Savannah, Rose, etc.

[ali_ohli]

mimieliza your hubby would fit right in with the Phoenix family... River, Summer, Rain...;)

[sublime311]

This is another cool baby name wesbite:

Babynamer on Oxygen (http://tools.oxygen.com/babynamer/babyblurbs.cfm)

[sunshineab622]

My future baby names....

Carleigh Hope

Joshua Peter

[tray622]

If this baby is a boy, we are in trouble!! We have NO names we really love *sigh* Here is what we have as possibilites for now:

boy: Zakary Steven

girl: Nikole Anne

I love Zoey of course ;) and Kassidy, Isabella (Bella), Kadence, Kailey, Becca... my mind is blank, but I know there are more girls names I love. For us, middle names are kinda a big deal for "family" names :rolleyes: It can be a pain though!!

[Toonces]

Gwendolyn Hope and we'd call her Gwen

[Heidi9771]

Bah! DH hates one of my favorite names ever, Lola

[Natasha]

linekelei--you are the only other person i've ever seen mention Emberlyn! lol, i love that name, but since we are going with family stuff, it'd be Kemberlyn.

[camberne]

I've always been a traditionalist when it came to names...

Girls:
Miranda (which would have been my son's name if he was a girl)
Isabel
Beatrice
Jessica (which really goes back to my smutty romance novel fancy - I loved a character named Jessie)

Boys:
Geoffrey (my son's name)
Kirkwood (my gram's maiden name, my uncle's name - we call him Kirk)
Henry
Basil (with a soft a, not like the spice - Basil Rathbone is one of my favorite actors... but never really in contention because of teasing factor and that everyone would pronounce it like the spice)
Owen (a friend of mine in high school's middle name was Owen. When I found out, I stopped calling him by his first name, Craig. I still call him Owen ~ 20 years later. I just love it!!)

[Camdynlyn]

I sat beside a girl at a workshop yesterday and her name was Rayne (rain). Yup, Summer and Rayne sitting beside each other. It was cute! :)

[kmmommy]

I sat beside a girl at a workshop yesterday and her name was Rayne (rain). Yup, Summer and Rayne sitting beside each other. It was cute! :)

I like that name. I've known girls named Raina and Sunny!

[Camdynlyn]

I know a Sunny. She worked with me at my old school. I also know a Wynter. She was my camp counselor one year. There was also an Autumn (with a twin sister named Summer) in one of the self contained classes of my school.

[kmmommy]

Ooh! I like the twins named Autumn and Summer - cute!

[Camdynlyn]

Giving this a bump for more name choices! :)

[jengen]

Does anyone else's DH nix almost every girl name you come up with?
The only one he likes so far, (that I don't really) is: Jordyn

For boys, he wants to stick with a "J" name and we like Jake and Jack , others include:
Benjamin (my grandfather's name)
Ryan
Nicholas

For girls, (aside from Jordyn):
Ava (DH hates it, says it reminds him of a '6 ft tall Russian woman')
Gabriella/Ella (can't sell him on this one either, but it's starting to become my favorite)
Madeline
Julia (great-grandmother's name)

[JRPAGV]

Caitlyn (or maybe Kaitlyn or Katelyn; Kate for short?)
Hannah (DH doesn't like how it rhymes with my name)
Olivia (middle name; family name on DH's side)
Brooke (middle name)
Kaley (This is the name we decided on a while back, but my brother/SIL just named their new baby Haley.)
Paige (middle name)
Sarah (middle name)
Elizabeth (middle name; my mom's name; won't work b/c our last name is long)
Emily (middle name)

Nathan (Nate for short)
Ashton
Bradin (or maybe Brayden; not sure on spelling; rhymes with Hayden)
Austin
Candler
Justin
Kaden/Caden (DH's addition; not sure on spelling)
Kyle (middle name; family name on DH's side)
Paul (middle name; my late uncle's name)
Dylan (middle name)


Girl names that DH kicked off my list:
Avery (only because there's a V in our last name)
Lainey
Nicole (middle name)
Autumn
Rachel

Boy names that DH kicked off my list:
Nicholas (DH doesn't like with our last name)
Brandon
Connor
Tyler

[LexyLou]

There are a ton of names I love but we have a Mexican last name so there are certain names that just do and don't go with it.

We are having a girl in October and are naming her:

Gabriella "Ella" Anne

other girl names I like are:

Isabella (too popular)
Emma (know a weird Emma with our last name, so I can't do it)
Olivia (friend's daughter's name)
Maya
Isabel



If it was a boy we would have named him

Benjamin

but still couldn't decide on a middle name

DH's favorite boy name is Alexander but since my name is Alexis it would be weird.

We love Joaquin but most people would mess it up but it's still not out...it's my favorite. :)

[Avalon]

Our top contenders are:
Jonathan Abraham - to be called Jack
and Nathaniel Dylan - to be called Nate
and
Ilana (pronounced Ill-on-uh) Faye
and Lila Jane

[sublime311]

I think I'm adding Tatum to my list of girl names. I've never heard the name in use by a REAL person (other than Tatum O'Neal), but yesterday I met my co-op teacher's daughter- it just really struck me as super cute!

I would love to hear perceptions about this name..

[sublime311]

Ilana (pronounced Ill-on-uh) Faye


Ooo, I used to love a name similar to this: Illiana (E-lee-on-ah)

May have to add it back on my list! Thanks for the reminder!

[stevesbabygirl]

I love the name Tatum :D! I believe that I put it on my list when I first posted in here.

[marteneym]

I know a 4yr old named Tatum. I didn't really like it at first but It totally fit her. now I love it.

[mrsfromage]

Girls
Madeleine
Charlotte Marie
Mira
(my grandmother's first name was Olive and sometimes I think this would be a cool middle name. She hated it though so I don't know.)


Boys
Sam

[Burnt Orange]

sublime311 and stevesbabygirl: My DD is named Tatum Rose. I love it :D We've had mixed reactions to it. Mostly from "older" people...like grandparents age. Everyone we tell who is of our generation loves it. One annoying thing--said "older" people usually have some smarty comment like,"Oh, like Tatum O'Neal?" To which I answer, with equally smarty sass,"Yes, but without the alcohol and drug addictions." I'm not sure why, but for some reason this comparison is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

[kmmommy]

I also love the name Tatum. Wouldn't go well with our last name, but it is unique and beautiful.

[stevesbabygirl]

Burnt Orange,

DH says the same thing whenever I mention that name. "You mean Tatum O'Neal?" is what ends up coming out of his mouth, especially because he used to play tennis, so he knows that she was married to John McEnroe. Unfortunately, that's many people's only exposure to the name.

It's like me and the name Sabrina. I love it, but whenever I say it, DH thinks of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

[KaliLily]

If we have a girl, she will be either Kassandra Emilie (after our mothers Sandra and Maria Emilie) or Kaitlyn (middle name TBD). Other girl names I like are:

After almost 8 years of never agreeing on names for a boy, we may have finally reached a concensus with either Kyle Philip Jerome or Philip Jerome (for our fathers Philip and Jerome). I also like the names Hunter and Isaak but I can't talk DH into it.

[kris97]

We have a very Italian last name, so most very Irish and English-sounding first names just don't go well. In the same vein, we really don't want the stereotypical Italian names either, which nixes Anthony, Vincent, Maria, Angela , etc.

That said, I _love_ "a" ending girl's names with our last name, so any daughters will have one. My two favorites are:

Isabella Blair (Blair is a family name)
Alexandra Corinne (emphasis on second syllable)

Since I get to name the girl(s), DH gets to name the boy(s), He refuses to have any names that are vaguely trendy. (I'll come up with all these great names, and he says, "No way! He'll get his ask kicked with that name!") :rolleyes:

So far the only contenders are

Matthew James
Andrew James (James is a family name)

[Burnt Orange]

stevesbabygirl,

Ok, I'm gonna date myself here...When I hear Sabrina, I think Bewitched :rolleyes: Same with Tabitha. My DH loves that name, but I can't get over thinking we'd have a little girl who uses her finger to wiggle her nose. Silly, I know.

[Kanga]

I guess I'm not much of a help, but for our girl, we are going with

Daytona

No middle name yet. I have decided that 2 syllable names work best with it and our last name, and nothing that ends in "A" since our last name starts with "A". I think it would be overkill.

For boys I'm crossing my fingers that the ultrasound won't fail and surprise us, because the only one that I can come up with is Landen. And I'm not even that crazy about it.

It's like me and the name Sabrina. I love it, but whenever I say it, DH thinks of Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Dh loves the name Clarissa, but when I hear it, all I can think of is Clarissa Explains it All.

[Avalon]

Ooo, I used to love a name similar to this: Illiana (E-lee-on-ah)

May have to add it back on my list! Thanks for the reminder!

I like Iliana too, but DH automatically thinks of Illeana Douglas and he hates her voice.

[mel7dog]

I also love the name Tatum. Wouldn't go well with our last name, but it is unique and beautiful.

My cousin's baby is named
Taitum Lee! You can also spell it with a "y", Taytum. At first I thought of Tatum O'Neal as well, but what are you gonna do, there is always going to be someone with a name you like!

[polkadot]

i told y'all i would change my mind a thousand times before i actually even got pregnant but this weekend in the 3 hour evacuation drive from the hurricane that didnt even come near us (New Orleans) i was playing with neices Magna Doodle and started writing baby names....We played with all kind of names our few new favorites are

Girl:
Sophia Clare
Ainsley Elizabeth
Ella Clare

Boy:
Still Ellis Joseph (we'd call him Eli)
Aidan Joseph
or maybe a Brian Joseph (Jr.)

i love Barrett for a boy now.... i heard it in McDonalds of all places but that little boy was sooo cute :rolleyes:

[Rosebud]

We aren't planning on babies for a while and haven't even started thinking of names, so this is totally off the top of my head. Names I like:

Girls:
Stella
Genevieve
Alanna
Amelie (although so similar to the very popular Emily I doubt we'd use it)
Julia (family name)
Caroline
Lila
Madeleine

(I love flower names, like Lily, Rose and Violet-- but FH's last name is Field so that won't work. Poor kid would get teased. Also, I love the name Fiona but I think Fiona Field sounds like a comic book character).


Boys:
Conor
Liam
Lachlan
Barrett (family name)
Preston
Spencer
Tristan
Kieran/Ciaran
Campbell
Duncan

What does my FH like? William. That's it. I asked him once what names he liked and this was the ONLY thing he could come up with. *sigh* I suspect we're in for quite a battle when we actually get around to having kids.

[bluemonkey]

We just found out Monday that we are having a girl, and this is our list so far:

Allie Katelyn
Katherine Elizabeth
Brynn Marie
Sydney Marie

I also decided that I like LeeAnn or LeeAnna this morning on my way to work, so I haven't told DH about them yet.

For a boy we liked:
Andrew Joseph

I have a friend with a baby boy named Caymen, I really like that.

[manda_kate]

They are ever changing, but alas...

GIRLS

Mallory
Kaylinn Olivia
Maryn Paige
Malayna
Natalie Paige
Reagan
Taryn Michelle
Alayna
Cadence (Cady as a nickname)
Julianna
Rayna
Layla Elizabeth (my fave, but would be a HUGH mouthful w/our lastname)
Alexis Nicole


BOYS

Bryce David (David is DH's dad's 1st name, and my dad and bro's middle name)
Brayden David or Brayden Alan
Bryson
Jackson David
Mason
Aidan

[Txfish]

Ooh -- fun! A lot of my favorite names, *noone* in my family likes, let alone dh... sigh. But at least I know from reading that you girls at least have good taste ;)

GIRLS:
Caroline Jane ("Caro" my dd -- Jane is mom's name, and my middle)
Lauren Paige (probably our next girl, should we have one)
Adrienne (my other top fave, but I don't think I like Paige with it)
Elisabeth (was going to be Caro's middle, and now can't use b/c it's dh's sis' name)
Gretchen
Audrey or Audra
Katherine
Sarah
Riley (except, it's too boyish-trendy, and I've got this elegant Caroline thing going on now. I picked a path, need to stay on it...)
Isabelle
Meredith
Charlotte
Carson (what can I say, I love the movie Shag)
Avery (have loved this one since high school, but cannot bring myself to use a top 10 name.)
Emily (same problem.)
Courtney (now there's one you haven't heard in a while!)

BOYS:
Well, we don't have much choice, as the first boy is always named William, but we get to pick the middle name. Have been through many, but it will most likely be
Fisher (my maiden, and prob. what we'd call him. Too many Williams around!)
Parker -- my current love. Visions of Baby Parkie running through my head...
Carter

In general, I'm all about the "maiden name as first name" thing for boys. :D How predictably episcopal of me.

[LeslieandPaul]

Well, it will be awhile before we have kids, but I've picked out names I like.

Girls
Audrey Leigh (my mom's middle name is Lee)
Charlotte Lucia
Katherine Anne (Anne is mine and FMIL middle name)


Boys
Evan Gianfranco (Gianfranco is FFIL name-he goes by John)
Nicholas Bruce (my dad's name is Bruce)
Benjamin Paul (for FH)

[Medako]

We're due in January, but have put MANY hours into finding names we can agree on ~ even since before the wedding!

As of right now, here's how the list plays out...

Dallas Kate (Dallas is my maiden name and we would call her Dally)
Lainey Paige (DH hates it)
Emily (DH's choice, I don't like it)
Kayla (recently put on DH's list of favorites)

Jack Ryan (our first choice)
Jake Daniel
Tate Ryan or Tate Daniel

Hopefully we'll only have one girl because if we have to try and agree on another girl's name, it might get ugly!

[laurenc]

my mom named me "lauren marie" after my grandmothers laura and mary. so i'd like to keep up that tradition. so, if we have a daughter, we'll name her "madelyn joy" after *her* grandmothers marilyn and joyce. and the more i think about the name madelyn, the more i love it! :) (the jury is still out on a favorite boy's name)

other girls names i love:
jocelyn
sara
caroline
lindsay
janelle

for boys names, i liike:
christopher
andrew
daniel
brian

we struggle with names because we have a somewhat ethnic last name and so a lot of the more popular names (madison, mckenzie, cameron, logan, etc.) just don't feel right with our last name.

[T&M'sMommy]

My dh's friend has a dd named Meadow. She was born on Christmas Eve.

[LeslieandPaul]

Okay, I already chose more names!

Girls
Courtney Leigh, or Courtney Anne
Carmela Anne
Natalie Anne

Boys:

There are more boys names I like, but FH has WAY too many male relatives (out of the 19 grandkids there are 16 boys and 3 girls, plus all his uncles!)

[Natrat80]

Girl Names
Addison Grace (my DD's name)
Avery
Madeline
Abigail

Boy Names
Hayden
Luke
Zac


I know we had a list longer than that when I was pregnant, but I can't remember any more!

LeslieandPaul I'm Natalie Ann-I'm glad you like my name!! :D

[Pink_Converse]

Natrat80-We love all of the same names (except Zac)! If I have a girl (if I ever GET pregnant) I think I want to name her Addision or something like it because I love the nickname "Addy".

Hayden was my Grandpa's name and I always wanted to name a boy Hayden Thomas. I always thought Hayden was an unusual name growing up but it seems alot more popular now.

Grace (Gracie) is my dog's name! Wish I would have saved it for a kid, but that was a long way off when I got her and I loved the name and wanted to use it.

Anyway, your little girl has a beautiful name. :)

[cgmom313]

Here are my favorites...

Girl
Catherine Grace - My DD name
Elizabeth Rose
Cassidy Rose

Boy
Ryan Patrick
Daniel Patrick
Roan Patrick

When we found out it was a girl, we had a long list and then we just said Catherine Grace and just loved it. I would say the other 2 are close 2nds.

[LindsaySD]

My DDs name is Caroline Leigh. I loved Caroline, and my sister's middle name is Leigh. I think they go well together.

If I ever get to have another:

Girl: Ava Catherine (Catherine)
Boy: John Russell (John)

My maternal grandfather's name was Russell, and almost every male on my mother's side is named John. I guess we all like that name? I've just always loved the name Ava Catherine. I'm dying to be able to use that name, but DH just has to have a boy.

[tray622]

We came up with our top 3 girls names last night :)

Miranda Nikole
Kailey Nikole
Addison Nikole

I am leaning towards either Miranda or Addison... decsions, decisions, decisons :) With #1 we knew her name would be Zoey for the last 8 years lol

[dionysia]

I'm not a fan of trendy names or creative spellings; I'm happy being boring! ;)

I'm not going to put down our top choices for future children so as not to jinx TTC. :p

Here are a few names that we won't use that I like:
Gemma (DH doesn't like it)
Emma (ditto)
Claire (ditto)
Helen (mn)
Eleanor (nn Ellie; 2 friends have daughters named Eleanor)
Julie (DH's cousin is named Julie; none of us like her! :p )
Molly (poss nn for Mary)
Elissa
Stephen (our last name is S*****n, so really any S names or Vowel N names are out)

My major exception to the not liking trendy/unusual rule: Avalon Lenox. :o

Di

[Etoile]

For our someday-baby, DH & I have chosen Magnolia May for a girl, and Guthrie James for a boy.

Other names I like:
Eva
Grace
Evelyn
Esther
Ruby
Violet

For a boy:
Zachary
Aidan
Henry
James

[Jaycee]

Question for those of you who like the name Lily

We are thinking of the name Liliana and then calling her Lily. For some reason Lily seems like too short a name. Or does it? I do love the name Lily, but would you go with a longer name like Liliana and then call her by the nickname but have the option of the longer name, OR just cut to the chase and make her formal name Lily?

[JRPAGV]

Jaycee: I love the name Lily. :) I also like Liliana (Lily as a nickname). I think Lily would work best if you have a last name with 3-4 syllables and the middle name is short too. Or, you could use Lily as a middle name but still call her that. Or, Lily with a middle name that's 3 syllables should sound good.

[Jaycee]

Jaycee: I love the name Lily. :) I also like Liliana (Lily as a nickname). I think Lily would work best if you have a last name with 3-4 syllables and the middle name is short too. Or, you could use Lily as a middle name but still call her that. Or, Lily with a middle name that's 3 syllables should sound good.
See here in lies the problem...Our last name is one syllable :confused:

[JRPAGV]

Jaycee: I think Lily could still sound good with a one-syllable last name. Examples: Lily Kathryn King or Lily Elizabeth Brown or Lily Nicole Smith. I guess it depends what middle name you choose.

[Camdynlyn]

A family name of ours is Lillia. I love it but Hubby had an ex with that name so it is out of the question. I LOVE it and my mom always brings it up.

Lillia or Lillian or Lilliana with the nickname of Lillie or Lilly or Lily. I love it.

[melnv]

I love names, but change my mind constantly. It's such a responsibility to give someone the name they'll have forever! That said here are our current picks.

Girl- Frances Margaret
Boy- Henry Matthew

I knew a little boy named Jack Diamond (last name). So cute! If you say it out loud and a little fast it seems sort of secret agentish.

[daydreamer]

I like feminine but strong names for girls & I'm sure "feminine but strong" mean something different to everyone. While I'm not opposed of unusual spellings per se, I
think it's sad if one has to spend their whole lives pronouncing and spelling their names to everyone.
GIRLS
Hannah
Claire
Allison/Addison
Bronwyn
Madeline
Tessa
Greer
Hope
Lauren
Noel
Parker
For boys, I like what I consider 'western' names', I don't know why?!
Ethan
Cody
Jared
Micah
Dillon/Dylan
Brett
Nick
Garrett
Wyatt
Loren
Ryan
Seth
Zane

Oh BTW, how do you pronounce Lillia: Lilly-ah?
Ainsley: Anns-lee?

Just wanted to recommend a good baby names website that I found. It's especially good if you like Irish or Scottish names or are looking for a name that is unique & not hugely popular.

www.namenerds.com (http://www.namenerds.com)

[julietchicago]

[kmmommy]

Jaycee ~ One of my friends has a DD who's name is Lilli. Her middle name is Jane and last name is 1 syllable. I think it sounds fine.

[Jess71903]

Oh BTW, how do you pronounce Lillia: Lilly-ah?
Ainsley: Anns-lee?
I am not sure about Lillia- I would assume you are right. I went to H.S. with a girl named Ainsley- Anes-ley. Long A as in cane instead of short as in Anne.

Good names!

[Lisa]

I love Ethan and Lauryn (for obvious reasons!)

[Squee]

For a girl my first choice is
Jessica Anne K..
or Danielle Grace K...

For a boy(although both may take some arm twisting)
Otis Brian K...
Or
Tyler Matthew K..

[longislandlolita]

We're probably several years away from kids, but . . . :D

We plan to have two kids (eventually). I get to name our girl, if we have one, or our second boy. FH has named our first boy. I really don't like a lot of the "eunike" modern names, especially all of the "K" names with the butchered spelling -- but then again, I don't want my kids to have the most common name on the block, like Michael and Jennifer (the big ones when I was growing up). Our kids' last name will begin with "L", and we are mostly of Irish descent, in case that matters when you vote on names!

Boy:
Our first boy is Brennan Gregory. FH selected this name and I like it.

Girl:
Catherine
Abigail (nickname Abby, which I love)
Caela (my cousin has this name)
Calla (maybe call her Callie as a nickname?)
Julia
Sophie/Sophia

I'm open to other ideas for girls, as well as boys' names -- I have no idea what I'd name a second boy!

[rene']

I really like the name Karson, for a boy. I also second Ainsley for a girl.

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

We have names picked out..
For a boy:
Xavier Warren (pronounced zavier rather than x-zavier, Warren is my grandpa's middle name and he has no namesakes)

For a girl:
Haley Eileen (Eileen is my mother's and mine middle name)

Other names I like:

Alyssa Nicole (Had it picked out until my BIL named his lil girl Alyssa)
Xander Warren (I know love the X names, our joke is "little baby x")
Hannah (Too popular after we looked it up)
Caleb (Another IL used that one as well)

ihadnt done that in a while...i'll have to go back to my earlier post and compare which names have changed

[MichelleRenee]

We have talked about baby names forever! We finally agreed on one of each for our first baby:

Isabella Marie
Logan James or Logan Michael

Here are some of my top girl names:
Lily
Grace
Emily
Reese (but that's our last name)
Annabelle
Angelina
Larissa

And some of my top boy names:
Ethan
Benjamin
Nathan
Christopher
James
Noah

[doubleR]

My husband and I are having the hardest time coming up with boys names that we agree on. and we're keeping the sex of our baby a surprise til the very end. here's what we have so far...

boys names that I like
Jackson
James
Wyatt
Brady - DH does like this name, but he has a girl cousin Brady...
Holden - family name on DH's side.

boys names that DH likes
Colin - I like Colin, just not crazy about it, but I think I could learn to love it!
ROCCO :eek: no offense to anyone, but it just doesn't go with our last name, and we're likely to have a red-headed freckle faced irish kid. Rocco just wouldn't work ;)

girls
Brianna
Riley
Reagan
Cassidy

we have tons more girl names that we both love, but we're trying to just narrow it down to 1 of those 4.

MichelleRenee our last name is Reese too, only spelled differently! and what's funny is that long before I even met DH, that was definitely my top girls name. I LOVE it for a girl...

[sublime311]

boys names that I like
Jackson
James
Wyatt
Brady - DH does like this name, but he has a girl cousin Brady...
Holden - family name on DH's side.

girls
Brianna
Riley
Reagan
Cassidy
I love the name Holden! There was a character on Guiding Light named Holden and I was just so in love with him! When I was younger I swore my children would be named Holden and Caleb (Holden's brother's name). Also, I love the name Riley for a girl!! I perceive it to be a popular girl's name.

[duke's flygirl]

Great ideas for names ladies. DH and I have been talking about names for the next Baby D(yet to be conceived).

We have a Ryleigh Jane already, (it wasn't that popular when we picked it out)

so we are looking for another girls name, as we still have our boy name from our first PG, Liam Nelson (After my dad and my FIL)

Names we have been thinking about:

Cheyenne
Reese
Faith
Audrey
Hope
Julie
Mackenie
Shannon
Taryn
Brooklyn

As a middle name either Elisabeth or Beatrice (DH's Grandmother's name)

Keep the names coming!

I love the name Reece Joelle! A teacher friend of mone has a 3 month old Reece and she is precious :)

We have a Zoey and assuming this baby is still a girl once we have our "big" u/s... we decided on:

Jocelyn Nicole

However, I still love Adyson but DH isnt going for it over Jocelyn.

Katrina
Cade
Zakary

[NicoleB11]

But so far, our names for this baby are:

Michaela Elisabeth Leigh (girl)
and

[mel7dog]

A girl at work work sister just had a baby she named her:

Brynley

Weston
Tanner
Talon

Leyton
Chance

Brenner

DS is Landen Carter ;)

[MichelleRenee]

My hubby decided he doesn't like "Logan" anymore and I was heartbroken. We aren't even PG, but I just LOVED the name.

He suggested another name that is really starting to grow on me for a boy:

Tristan

He is determined to name our son after a great leader or a knight.... Tristan was one of King Arthur's Knights. I really do like it

I also wanted to post that I LOVE my niece's name:

Kianne

When I first heard it I thought "how wierd" and now (probably because I love her so much ) I wish I could use it.

[nuhmah]

We are planning for James William, Jr. as a first boy, David William for a second one (William in a family name, and David is my father's name).

Samantha is our first choice *I think* for a girl, but right now we are also leaning towards untraditional and going with Athena.

[kmmommy]

Mel ~ We have similar taste in names! Keegan is one of my fave boy names too!

[LadyD088]

LynzeyAHL - My cousin chose William Jackson for her son (which we should be expecting in a few weeks now). Just thought it was very similar. Great choice!!

Boy: Ethan Gregory (first choice) or Ethan Arion (Ethan because we love the name. Gregory is my DH's middle name. Arion is from Third Eye Blind-our fav band-and there's a great story about Arion the Greek Poet and Musician which I would love my child to know. DH and I are very into music, its very much a part of who we are. Its also unique and similar to DH's name. He didnt' want a Ryan Jr so this is as close as we can get.)
Girl: Charlotte Mae (Charlotte for my late Grandmother and Mae for my late Great Aunt)

[kanga1622]

Boys:
Zander Brian
Griffin Lucas
Callum Jonathan or James

Girls:
Anissa Rose
Danielle Nichole
Shelby

For all of you that like Keegan, I'll warn you that people tend to look at you strangely when you say it and ask you to repeat it. We named our dog Keegan (sorry) and people have a hard time getting the name correct the first few times.

[LynzeyAHL]

LynzeyAHL - My cousin chose William Jackson for her son (which we should be expecting in a few weeks now). Just thought it was very similar. Great choice!!

I ALWAYS loved Jackson for a boys name, but that's my DH's cousin's name so ultimately the nick name won out. I'd rather have a Jack than no jack at all

[mel7dog]

Boys:

For all of you that like Keegan, I'll warn you that people tend to look at you strangely when you say it and ask you to repeat it. We named our dog Keegan (sorry) and people have a hard time getting the name correct the first few times.

Keegan is not really one of my top boys names. I couldn't think of anything else that started with "K" for a boy and I like the way it sounds. I would never use it for a child though, too trendy for my taste!

[jbenny75]

I love the name Reece Joelle! A teacher friend of mone has a 3 month old Reece and she is precious :)

We have a Zoey and assuming this baby is still a girl once we have our "big" u/s... we decided on:

Jocelyn Nicole



Jocelyn Nicole is my sister's name! I think it's very pretty, but then I'm partial.;)

[kmmommy]

Kanga ~ Thanks for that feedback. I really like Keegan but think it might be too different. We're leaning towards another name if this one is a boy!

[amygrrl]

oops

[kcjules]

GIRLS
Mackenzie (Have always loved it)
Madison
Dakota


BOYS
Matthew
Jason (would be a Jr.)

[Southlooper]

We have a baby due in Jan and we've chosen:

Hannah Elisabeth
OR
Evan Matthew


My niece and nephew's names.

Great kids...

[polkadot]

we are TTC right now...as of yet our names are...

Ella Claire
or
Eli Joseph

[twainny]

WE LOVE ELI! My DS's name!! :) (i liked Ella, but DH didn't, but it didn't matter!)

[maybebaby]

Annabelle
Charlotte
Lucy
Madeline
Anya

[Jess71903]

I may have posted mine here before, but I can't find it if I have, so here we go:

Boy: Gage Anthony (Anthony is DH's middle name)
Girl: Gracey Evelyn (my maternal and paternal grandmothers)

My middle name is Cherry- I was named after my dad's mom, Jessie Evelyn Cherry (maiden name). I love it but it doesn't seem to fit with other names I like...

To me, boys names are so hard. It seems that there is less choice...old girls names seem to come back easier than boys. The names in our families are so un-doable:
Dale
Clyde
Robert
Russell
John
Janie Fern
Ruth (although I am not totally against this as a middle name, DH is
Lorraine

I also have Lora Lee in my family but it has been really overused
Guess I went a little overboard :) Got baby on the brain!

[Jess71903]

Keegan is not really one of my top boys names. I couldn't think of anything else that started with "K" for a boy and I like the way it sounds. I would never use it for a child though, too trendy for my taste!

Oh yeah,
I knew of a kid named Keegan- love it! He must be 19 or 20 or so by now. For you, it's not so much that you like Keegan, but that you have a Kaeden too! Can you imagine trying to yell at one of them? You'd never get it right! I have enough trouble with the males in my family now and they sound NOTHING alike! When I try to talk to one of them it always goes:
Tony, UH, Nathan, UH, Dusty... :D

[mrstim]

I love my cousin's names - they're twins. Keenan & Kayla - and they're in their 30's so I guess it wasn't so trendy then. I wouldn't use those names, obviously, but I loved them anyway so I wanted to put them here!

[TaterBaby]

Here's my favorites...

Mallory
Morgan
Molly
Ainsley
Jordanna
Delaney
Charlotte
Leighton


Braedan
Adler
Barrett
Garner
Tanner
Cooper

[anniebananie]

Here are my favourites:

Girl:
Grace
Sophia
Reese

Boy:
Grant
Nate
Reid
Kai (it means Ocean in Japanese. FH thinks it's strange since we're both European but I don't have a problem with it. Besides, the name MacKai runs in our family so in my opinion this is a version of that)

[sarahncraig]

*bump*

[Sophia]

I don't think I've posted here.

Amelia
Juliana
Lilia
Liliana
Miranda
Natalia
Olivia

Aidan
Ewan
Ian
Lucas
Nicolas
Malcolm
Vincent

This is list of names DH & I both like, and unfortunately some of the boy names we like would sound awful with our last name, but I would consider as middle names.

[cartersmommy]

girls names:
Emily
Emma Grace
Adeline (Addie)
Allison

Boys names:
Carter
Dillon
Jackson
Cooper

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

Caitlin Abigail Watts
Macy Agibail Watts

Ronald being Curt's father's name and Gail being my mom's name.

[skittltoes]

Braedan


That's my son's name! :D

Since we just had a boy, we're out of names.

For a girl, we love Riley Madison, but Riley Addison is really growing me. Would the initials RAH be bad? :p

[Pink_Converse]

I can't remember if I posted in here before or not, but off the top of my head:

Boy's Names:
Hayden (my #1 choice and Grandpa's name so it's not trendy to us)
Thomas
Eli
Elliott
Everett (for a middle name)
Owen
Miles
Simon
Mika
Lucas
Levi (DH said it was a "truck driver name", whatever that means)


Girl's Names:
Abigail (I think this one is #1 for us so far)
Hayden (DH doesn't like it for a girl)
Allison
Riley
Jordan
Ruby
Laney
Lane (for a middle name)
Olivia
Adeline (Addy, I like all the names that are "long" for Addy)
Evelyn
Annabelle
Isabelle

[mkvh]

Levi (DH said it was a "truck driver name", whatever that means)

I dated a Levi, and he was NOT a truck driver! Love the name, and would use it myself if it wasn't part of my past.


Hayden (DH doesn't like it for a girl)


Silly men! I *heart* Hayden for a girl! And it takes a BIT of the trendy factor out of it!


Why do we have to agree with our DHs on names again? Remind me?? ;)

[Pink_Converse]

That's right! I have to go thru all the crap and YOU get to help pick out the name, hmpff!!! Why do we have to agree ;) ?! My Dad loved it for a girl's name too and it's HIS Dad's name.

[Txfish]

I'm just thrilled to see so many of you like/ love the name Charlotte... we are having dd #2 and it is my absolute favorite, and dh does not like it. Every week I try to focus on one of our other girl names, and I just can't do it -- this kid is Charlotte to me. (whine whine whine -- he'd better get over it, I'm doing all the work here!)

On the chance he really never does get over it, she'll probably be
Ainsley Katherine (Kate) -- amusing just how popular Ainsley is in here, too!

Paige as middle name for either of them -- I don't think I like Charlotte Ainsley, though that would be my big compromise LOL

He likes:
Lucy

We both like Lauren, but it's just SOOO popular, almost to the point of boring.

I also love Tatum, but he won't go there & I'm not wasting my fight on that one!

[LynzeyAHL]

Txfish- hey my name is Lauren and i admit it is soooo popular now..but its a classic ;)

[PLNUBRIDE]

I have gone through this whole thread about 3 times in the last week since My DH and I got our 1st BFP 12/2 (three more since then and a Dr confirmation hopefully tomorrow).

Here is our list so far:

Boys:
Ryan - This is actually the front runner right now. It is very interesting to see that this is more popular as a girls name, since I knew 4 Ryan's (all boys) in college.
Connor - This being the front runner for the middle name. For some reason my DH is stuck on a "C" name for the middle name
Andrew
Cayden
Owen

Girls:
Ashley
Kayla
Brenna
Christin - My middle name (would be used as amiddle name)
Avery
Morgan
Brooke
Rachel
Syndey
Maren - As a Middle name
Alyssa

[ruby]

I cant believe no one picked my son's name, Colton Ross, I loved it and never meet any one else with it. "colty" for short....

For a girl-
Makenna Belle
Reese
Rianna
Madigan
Riley


Boy-
Brayden
Kaden
Mason
Carson
(do you see a trend here? )

[kmmommy]

[Asha]

girls
asha
juliet
marisol

boys
simon
alexander

[Pink_Converse]

My brother has a cool name. It's Brennan. I really like that name and you rarely meet people w/ that as a first name. Just an idea.

[ruby]

Kaeden's Mommy-I was thinking the same thing when I read your post too, so I had to reply! Hoping for DD next, the big US in on 1/3. Please send pink vibes......:)

[kmmommy]

ruby ~ Pink vibes coming your way! I'm due in June and hoping for a girl too so I'd appreciate Pink vibes.

BTW, if you're due in June and would like to join the June 06 Mommies group please do. We're a fun group and we'd love to have you! :D

[Bibay626]

Boys

Colin

[Txfish]

polkadot, I know, I know. I just can't get past the whole having-5-kids-with-same-name every year school thing... That's why I'm focusing on "classics" that are in a little less use right now ;) I'm kind of disappointed not to use Lauren, but everyone got there first in the last couple of years :D

Caro's daycare teacher actually asked me the other day: "So, it's a girl. Will she be Taylor, Mackenzie, Ashley, or Bailey?" In total seriousness. Horrifying.

[sarahncraig]

My friend named her daughter Adeline and they call her Addie for short. It really grew on me and now I love it!

[Janey]

Subscribing. This is a fun thread. :) Names are hard. B and I have one girl's name and one boy's name picked out. If we end up with two boys or two girls, we're in trouble. :p

[Sophia]

If we end up with two boys or two girls, we're in trouble. :p

That's what I told DH this morning, but just about boy names if we were to have twins in there (not planning on more after this one). I'm fine when it comes to girl names--I have such a long list. Boy names--none of them sound right with our last name and/or they don't sound "related" to the sibling names.

Txfish, have you considered Laurel instead of Lauren?

[ruby]

thanks Kaeden's Mommy, I'm usually more of a lurker but now I have some extra free time to post more, I'll join in soon. Pink vibes to you too!!!!!

[mkvh]

Di

Not a fan of the gender-bending, Di? ;)

[BrownEyedGirl]

I'm normally just a lurker...but we've been thinking about names too much to not post...even though we aren't really even trying just yet.

Girls
Ava
Ellie...or something that can be shortened to that
Kennedy (my maiden name)
Cowen

Boys
Jackson
Harrison
Kennedy
Cowen

I'm sure there are more...but those are the favorites so far.

[AlisonCO]

Kennedy (my maiden name)


Me too - and my daughters middle name. Dh really liked it for a first name but we have a long last name and I felt like it was too much!

[dionysia]

Not a fan of the gender-bending, Di? ;)You could say that. ;)

Di

[mkvh]

Well, I applaud your restraint (and *heart* the lips-sealed smilie, BTW)! Differences of opinion are what make life interesting. It would be no fun if all of our kids had the same name!

[mimieliza]

Right now our chosen names are:

Mariko Elizabeth (Mari)

Andrew Keiichi

[Sare79]

Right now our chosen names are:

Mariko Elizabeth (Mari)

Andrew Keiichi

My FIL really wanted to name their last son Mariko if he had been a girl, and he wanted to call her Koko. I really like the name, too.

[dionysia]

Well, I applaud your restraint (and *heart* the lips-sealed smilie, BTW)! Differences of opinion are what make life interesting. It would be no fun if all of our kids had the same name!Well, duh.

But when people ask for advice, I am very honest about my feelings regarding certain types of names.

This is not an advice thread, so I kept my mouth shut.

Di

[mkvh]

This is not an advice thread, so I kept my mouth shut.

That's just what I meant, no sarcasm intended. This thread is great for that...lots of ideas just "out there" to be shared! :D

[polkadot]

ohh TXfish- i never thought of that...i love laurel and its different without being weird....:D

[amygrrl]

advark

[chefker]

I think we've narrowed it down to TWO for our boy...Harrison James or Ian James (the James being for my grandfather.

Jack had been in the running for a while, but we're starting to think it'd be almost 'too' popular/trendy. Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that, we are just SO not trendy! :)

[Jen1098]

We have our big u/s on Monday so hopefully the little one cooperates and shows the goods.

For a boy we like Braden. Can't think of anything else-dh likes Kyle but I dated a Kyle in the past and although the chances of running into him are slim to none I'd rather not use it.
Our ds's name is Joshua David.

We're so stuck on girls names-dh wants to use his mothers name as a middle name but I really don't want that at all. I think it will hurt my mother's feelings.

So for girls the only ones we've thought of are:

Olivia
Julia
Samantha

Olivia is my fav. dh's fav is Samantha(call her Sam) but he thinks by giving me Olivia I'll be more open to using his mom's name as a middle name. Uh no.

[SQ2]

Top favorites so far...

Boy: Silas Ethan (We both like this one. Silas is an old name in DH's family)

Girl: Addison Elizabeth (DH is not so sure about this one but I love it!)

[Chimichanga]

For boys we like Grant Isauro or Cole Isauro (Isauro being for my grandpa)

For girls, we both really like Cameron Joy and call her CJ. Beyond that we're still kind of up in the air.

[Asha]

Cole Isauro

nice name - it's my maiden name.

Cameron Joy

wow - another name in my family. you must have good taste!!!

[DelSol]

Boy:
Joshua Anthony
Jordan Anthony

I picked the middle name of Anthony because of the friend who introduced us to each other.


Girl:
Olivia Danielle
Jordan Alyssa
Hope Elizabeth

[Baby Lust]

DH and I have been throwing around names for a while now. I really like the unique names, but I also don't want my child to have to spell their name every time they say it.

The names we are still throwing around are:

Boys:
Lucas
Nicholas
Nathan(iel)
Both our dad's names are Kenneth, so we are talking about using that as a middle name, if it flows with the first name we choose.

Girls:
Hailey
Emily


I know there are so many more that we both like, but these seem to be the ones we are really stuck on.

[KB57]

For girls we like:
Abigail (I love Abby as a nn)
Ava
Hayley
Lindsay

Boys:
Gavin
Andrew
William is DH's name...he does not want to the baby after himself, but I love this name!

These are not set in stone...we've discussed names but haven't really decided on anything in particular
