Eleanora Christine nn Nora

Christine was my mom's name

My mom's name is Lenora and a cute little foreign priest friend of mine always writes her name as Eleanora. I love it!

Logan Joseph. Joe is my dads middle name, but Logan Joe doesn't flow for me so we lengthened it to Joseph. My dad swears my grandma was on something when she named him and would have preferred Joseph anyway, so I don't feel bad with it not being a direct connection. Lol.

My uncle's middle name is Leroy, which was DEFINITELY because she was drugged up! Haha he changed it legally when he was older.

DH and I felt like we had to pick a name yesterday just in case I went into labor, so we firmly decided on Jacob Noah.

Colin Robert C. is our first choice but I've been pretty non-committal. It's such a big decision! We also like Thomas but that's a long shot as DH loves Colin. We'll see!

This is my little (18yrs old) brother's name. Right down to the last initial
He's Collin with two L's though.
Great name!

Her name is Cora. DH gets to pick the middle name. Right now its between Marie after our moms or Sue which is my middle name.

Wow, I'm impressed with everyone's name choices. There's not one name that I'm thinking my myself  "really, that's what you're naming your child?!"

Nicely done Jan '14 mommas!!!

MaryBB77

Liam Andrew for a boy & still not 100% on a girls name.
Avelinn & Aiveen are our forerunners. But my cousin used Aiveen 4 months ago & not too keen to share which annoys me.
Marie or Pauline for the MN after our mums. Marie flows better but my mum Pauline died when I was 10 & I'd like to honour her.

Lol, I bet if I put mine most would probably think that! Lol, with that said I suppose I shouldn't leave anyone hanging...we really haven't talked names. Just mentioned our boy name from being team green and then having dd.

So for a boy I guess all we have is that name, Creed Allen (hubby's middle name. I fell in live with this name from a book, and it just always stuck. Hubby's happy bc he'd like him to have his initials...but I was surprised he was on board with this name.

For a girl I love Laken Marie (my middle name) I just can't seem to find anything else that I like. I've mentioned this name once to hubby so just letting him sit on it like I did with dd's name.

We're team green and I honestly don't think we'll decide or even talk names until the baby comes...I kind of like the suspense! The one time DH brought up names me said, "so what are the names that I have to agree with?" He was mostly kidding, but is pretty laid back about names and I figure if he's not suggesting names then my suggestions kind of win out by default.

I'm ok if others don't like my names, I think they flow well with my other 2 and they are both spelled right and don't have random "y" replacements so I have that going for me, lol. As a teacher I just can't stomach some names bc I see them all the time, just personal preference!

Ours was easy once we knew it was a boy. I had told MH if he wanted a Jr. I was ok with that. He finally decided to go for it.

Christopher Robert Jr. it is

If we have a boy, probably Benjamin Andrew.

Girls: We both like Claire and Eleanor but aren't sold on either. I like Evelyn, but DH thinks its an old lady name and would prefer Eve or Eva. He's slowly warming up to Evelyn, but says he will call her Evie. Nothing is really standing out to me, though, but we still have plenty of time!

Seaaggie18

Lillian roe nn lily. Both family names

jonahsmama2014

We decided on the name Jonah Dean for our little boy. MN is a family name on H's side

valigrl21

We are undecided but here are some of our favorites:
- Savannah Lynn
- Alexandria Lynn
- Evelyn Rose
- Peyton Lenor
- Jocelyn Lenor

I like so many of these names, but as a teacher I can't use some names.

This is our problem...I was a teacher (I know SAH) and DH is a P.E. teacher so he sees HUNDREDS of kids. 

ETA:

For all of those still struggling (like us) each state has different rules for naming of kids. In PA you have 10 days to file for a birth certificate/name I believe.

@moosebaby2011 - We have Claire and Evelyn picked out if we have two girls, and Evelyn's NN will be Evie My husband already says he'll call her 'Heavy Evie'

Team green here so our boy name is Dominic Joseph and girl name is Therese Rose.

preglady12

So much fun reading everyone's names! I am impressed by how few names overlapped although I guess there are thousands of names to choose from haha. I hope we can come up with a name one of these days to add to the list, but I am thinking this might be decided in the hospital haha.

You won't get any flack from me! I'm naming my kid Ozzy for cryin out loud! Lol. I think Creed Allen has a nice flow. Laken is different but not unheard of. After having an Emma, I wanted this one to have a name you don't hear every day. So I get it.

Karenin

Brigid, Rory, (I know it's traditionally male but it's my mom's name) or Bailey. Those are the current top 3 with Brigid as a current frontrunner. MN is anyone's guess so far!

mommygrams0730

@aessary03 when I taught at The Little Gym there was 10 month old (when he started my class) named Ozzy (I don't even know if that was a nickname or not, lol) and he was so stinking cute! And both his parents seemed super cool and a little bad ass. I personally think Ozzy is a cute name too, not something you hear all the time!

Eta: forgot a word

RobynLovesDano

I feel like we have a fairly out-of-the-box girls name, but everyone we've told so far says it's beautiful. So that makes me smile DD name will be Persephone Fox W. Fox is a family name, so not totally random

Jmattis, looks like we have a similar taste in names!  :-)

We're leaning towards Oliver Prem A.  We like that the initials will be O.P.A., like the Greek exclamation of happiness/hooray.  OPA!

@Xan84 great minds think alike :-) we are learning towards John or Mark for
the middle name ( John after H's middle name and Mark is my dad's name) and our last name begins with a D, so it could be OJD or OMD

Caitlinm123

At this rate our child will be nameless

ashybear

Just no idea still. Front runners for our baby boy are Meyer (family name, sort of), Jude, Carter (FIL's MN), Penn and Perry. This could go any which way!

Aubrey Kay R.

chicki1012

We are still shuffling names. MN is Paul, DHs grandfathers name.
Callum Paul B, love Cal for a NN
Landon Paul B

Penn is my maiden name. I always thought it would be cute to use as a first or middle name.

DH has a lot of stipulations about names this time. I picked DD's name so he insists that he gets to pick DS's name. We'll see about that  He wants a name that can't be shortened (i.e. no benjamin (ben), alexander (alex), etc.). Also we call DD by her initials "CC" so we'll likely do the same with DS. I forget the rest... Anyway, his favorite at the moment is Joel and mine is Elias. I'm sure we won't decide for quite some time!

Jaytee501

Audrey Jayne

Jayne/this spelling is a family name.

petitmonstree

We've decided on Dalton Alexander.

sunkiss674

We decided on Aleksander and Dominik but we are still negotiating middle names, which I'm not sure if DH realizes it or not but I feel like I get the final say

I love Jonah and it was my top 3 choices but DH shut me down.

mrskratt

I feel like we will never decide on a name. We love the name Evie a lot. DH really likes Evangeline & I like Everly. I feel like Everly is going to get, or is gettin extremely popular. Good thing we still have time!
