GTKY: Baby Name Edition

crwel1048

Girl: Amelia Jean (Jean after my mother's mn and DH's grandfather Eugene)

Boy: Wyatt (love the name, but not sure I love it with our last name) and I like Kyle. MN will be Daniel after DH's mn.

ash273uk

I'm not ttgp yet either, but I do have names picked out so I'm gonna play along too!

Girl: Mattie Nicole (Mattie was my grandmother's name and Nicole is my middle name)

Boy: Preston Randolph (Randolph is my husband's mn and it's also his dad's mn. We both just like the name Preston, plus our last name starts with a P and we like the alliteration)

I really liked reading everyone's name choices!

Swede25

We named our son Holden. If he had been a girl, her name would have been Hailey Rae.  Now I have no clue what names we will use for the (hopefully) next one!  I don't want to use Hailey for a girl anymore because I think it's corny when siblings have names that begin with the same letter (and my MIL would probably love that so even more reason not to).  I do like the name Mia though.  No idea on any other boy names.

AmyfromMI

Boy: ???
Girl: Vanessa

There are a bunch of girl names that I really like, boy names don't really matter because DH would want him to continue on the family name :-w

Girl names: Ava Grace, Harper, Emma, Madeline, Katherine, Ellie, Caroline, Eleanor Grace. I really love Grace as a middle name.

Boy names: will most likely be Thomas Read III, but if I had my way I would do Thomas Warren to honor my grandpa since Warren is his middle name. We shall see what happens down the road.

LOVE Ava Grace, it is my top girl name!  I really love Grace as a middle name as well!

DH is Finnish, and I'd really like to do a Scandinavian name.

Girl: Tippi. Possibly my name as the middle name, but it would be more to honor my grandmother who recently passed.

Boy: We can't agree. I like Mikko. DH like verrrrry Nordic sounding names that don't exacrly roll off my tounge. My father's name is also an option but a 180 from the Scandinavian thing.

Girl: Mackenzie Greer (although nobody but me likes the middle name) Boy: James Andon Joseph (I've wanted a James since I was 13 but H has a cousin named James and there's bad blood so we shall see).

I like the name Greer. Like as in Greer Garson, Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice 1940's version which is my favourite movie of all time! DH does not though.

Pride and prejudice is my favourite book! Had no idea about the actress from that version! YAY! I love love love the version with Colin Firth, but I may have to check out this 1940s version.

If you like black and white movies, you will not be disappointed! I could watch it every night!

We have a boy named Gabriel Kaige and a girl named Kellie Rain already.

Gabriel after the arch angel and because before my father passed away he always got me angel figurine gifts. Kaige because my husband liked it and never thought of another good middle name.

Kellie is named after my sister who died age the tender age of 18 months from a tragic accident. Rain because we loved it and it fit well.

For our next/last:
Boy: Lane (not sure for middle name)
Girl: Nora (not sure for middle name)

We plan to be team green for our last.

NurseMom2007

I am always suggesting names to my husband, I have tons that I love. He's pretty picky though, of all the names I've ever suggested, he has only liked Henry and Eliza. So as of right now, those are our picks. MNs are still up for debate, probably Joseph or Matthew for a boy and Claire or Catherine for a girl - all family names.

danielledee89

For a boy : James. I also like Gavin (SO doesn't) and Don.

For a girl : we like Lina. But other than that I have no clue .. Girls names are harder for me to decide on ones I like !

KristaU831

I have Karina Marie already... 

boy: Alexander Mikhail, Maxim Mikhail 

girl: Kalista Marie, Briella Marie, Kamila Marie 

(Marie and Mikhail are family names) 

KatD2011

I have an ever changing list;

For any girl The middle name would either be Kathleen or Rose as these are grandparents names and for a boy it would be either Joseph or Dante (If not the first name). My husband is the 3rd generation to have the same name we agreed that we wouldn't be continuing this. I'm sure his family will NOT be pleased!

Girl:

Penelope (My Fav)
Lilly-Anne (DH fav)
Isabella
Zara
Addison
Olivia

 

Boy:

Dante
Joseph
Xavier
Elijah
Domenic
Alistair

Us too! I have always found out asap with my last 3 but this time I think I want some anticipation! My DH doesn't think I can do it - haha! I feel in my heart I am meant to be a girl mom and #4 will end up a girl. I think team green is a great way to have everyone excited

I love Laurie-Cate! My number 2 girl name is Lauren Catherine and we would call her Lauren Cate!

linnae939

we have a definite girls name picked out, and its a secret, sorry ... my other favorite girls name was Natalie...until our good friend had a baby in march and named her Natalie... she's cute though so I'll let her off the hook. I love cora  @emerald27 !  As for boy names...my DH is a third, so he  wants to have a fourth...but I hate it...his other choices are things like tank, timber etc. not even joking about that. so lets hope for a girl haha (we just want a healthy baby, and don't care too much about gender blahblah...but TANK?)

My husband wanted his middle name passed down to a boy and since we are trying for our last and have a track record for girls the middle name will his no matter the sex. I'll just change the spelling.

Girl- Georgia Rae

Boy- ______ Ray  

I LOVE Remington (Remy) but not sure if it flows with the middle. Our 1st was going to be Mason if a boy but it has sense been taken by family. Our 2nd was going to be Noah if a boy but I doubt it is making the list again. 

My middle name is Rae I hated it all my life but I've definitely grown to LOVE it.

Lola825

We've picked and hopefully when/if we have the baby we still want them because I LOVE them ha!

Boy: Cohen Michael
Girl: Calia Rose

We wanted different firsts but significant middles. Michael is a friend of ours who passed and my dads first and brothers middle name. Rose is my gram's name.

Jayers10

@KenziK - we have similar taste in girls' names!  Ava, Harper and Ellie are some of my favorites.  I also really like the name Avery.

@JessElam - Cole is my favorite for a boy

Yeah, Ray/Rae is not my 1st pick of name to be passed down but DH inherited the MN when he was adopted by his dad and it is important to him. Rae has started to grow on me too. I grew up hating my MN too so I think it's pretty common

Beth1031

Girl: Avonlea (Ava) Sophia, or Sophia Lyn

I love the name Sophia, but hate Sophie, so I hesitate to use it as a first name.  We used DH's middle name for DS middle name and DH want's to use mine, Lyn, for a girl... we'll see.  I met a girl in middle school named Avonlea and thought the name was beautiful, has nothing to do with the Anne of Avonlea books.

We had a difficult time agreeing on a name for DS and can't agree for a boy, we'll wait until we get a BFP to work on a boy name.

one of my friends has an avenleigh pronounced the same as avonlea! it's cute! 

KatieN123

Girl: Katylnn Ann (Ann is my mother and my mother-in-law's middle name.  We got a two in one deal with that.  LOL.)

Boy: Connor (We can't agree on a middle name, but I like Jacob)

May I just say your girls are ADORABLE!!! LIKE SO SO BEAUTIFUL!

Lola825

@tonyacody06 I like it because its different. One of my best friends actually tied the name into her DS' first name (Raegan) and we all call her Rae. My parents like to say that they used it because I was born in the morning and was their "Ray (Sp) of sunshine". Rae is just a more feminine spelling.

Thank you very much!! That siggy pic isn't showing very clearly since I shrunk it to fit. It's amazing to see how different each one can be! I have 2 with brown eyes and 1 with gorgeous blue eyes. I also never thought I would have blondies since my dark hair is so dominant.

Our top girl name is Evelyn Elizabeth. Second choice is Charlotte Elizabeth.

Both choices are climbing in popularity and it makes me awfully irritable because it is my baby name. Anyone else feel irrationally possessive of the names they like?

For a boy, we will go with Charles. DH is the bazillionth Charles in his family and we don't want to break tradition. I want a middle name that starts with J so I can call him CJ. DH isn't too keen on the initials as a nickname thing.

short_meli

We have two for each sex ...in case we ever have twins...haha:

Owen Gerard (Gerard is after DH's Grandpa)
Ivan Cannon/Ivan Link (Ivan is after my Grandpa...DH picked the middle name(s))

Brynn Marie (Marie after my sister and Grandma)
Vanessa Renae (Just a name I've liked since I was a teeny bopper)

CopperPoppy

Alright fine ill share. I just love names so much.

Girls
Josephine Elizabeth/Elise
Alexandra Kate/Katherine
All the names have family significance

Boys names are hard for us.
Roderick David (NN Ricky)
Harrison Edward (he's not sold on Harrison yet but I love it) again, all family names.
Maybe just Edward with some other MN.

You can vote on the names in my siggy.

GermanGirl2007

It's going to take forever for DH and I to decide on names. We only have 3 total girls names on our list that we agree on, and one boy name.  

Girls: Nina, Thea, or Willa

Boy: Edward (nn Eddie)

megastar007

If  we were to have another boy, his name would be Adrian... MN is still not 100%... maybe Wesley.  If we were to have a little girl, her name would be Stella Mae

LaDyBostonRN

Yes!

Boys: Lincoln, Coleman

Girls: Amelia, Colette

MelanieAdam0707

We have trouble agreeing on names - lol, but I think from the time of a BFP and delivery I think I can make him feel like one of them was actually HIS idea
Noelle
Gemma
Scarlett
Sloane
Harper
Kendall
Charlotte
Cora

Harrison
Emmett
Colton
Everett

maplesugarkisses

I posted earlier on on the thread but DF and I were talking. He really wants Diana as the first name to honor his mother instead of the MN. I'm not 100% on board. (Name in honor of his late mother is awesome, just not too sure how I feel about it)

Girl name was Gabriella Diana, now Diana May. What are your thoughts?

Boy would still be Tennyson Joseph
