Not a single person has picked out the names I did. I guess they're not as popular as I thought. I for sure thought my boy name would be all over the boards!
Our boy name is Jackson Thomas and we have had that for over a decade. Girls are harder for us. I am pushing for Lillie (DH's Great Grandma) Elaine (my mom's middle name). Other girl names that I like are Stella (DH hates), Charlie, and Julia.
We had a VERY hard time picking out the boys name. We went through over 200 different names that neither of us could agree on before we came up with the name we did. We have no "family names" for a boy that we would ever consider using and DH and I have very-very different name styles. He is much more modern and I love traditional names like Oliver and Theodore or names like Bryce and Lane. In the end I am only 98% in love with our boy name but my DH is so in love with it I could not imagine asking him to consider a different name.
Girls: Isla and Winter are my top two. MNs will be Maren or Louise.
Boys: Davis Alexander, Mason Davis or Ronan Davis are top contenders. Davis is my maiden name, so I'd really love to use it for a boys first name. DH isn't 100% sold on this yet!
DH won't play the name game until after we know the sex, but I love classic and family names. Both the middle names are in honor of family members--Walter is pretty much a lock for the boy mn, since it is DH's mn, as well as pgpa"s name, and 2 ggpas names!
Boy: Charles Walter
Girl: Charlotte Ruth
My problem: Charlotte has been my girl name since I was 14. If we have a boy and name him Charles, I can't really name a future girl Charlotte, since they are basically the same name. It is going to be a gamble if we get a boy first!
Girl - Addison Olivia Boy - Jaxson Randall Or Jeremiah Randall
DH really loves the name Jaxson but I feel like it's being over used right now so I'm leaning more toward Jeremiah. Both middle names would be after my grandmother her maiden name is Randall. Greatest woman ever!!!
Boy - I like Liam but dh isn't on board. He likes Tristan but that's my cousins SIL's name. So I have no idea.
How close are you with this person? Sounds like a distant relative by marriage who you probably not see that often. I think Tristan is a boy name anyway.
Our girl names are Josephine Elizabeth or Alexandra Katherine. DH suggested Josephine and Joseph/Jose are fam names on my side. My mom is Sandra so Alexandra is kinda for her. (Ps-nice pick @jmwolk24 )
Boy name is Harrison David (DH has an uncle and grandfather named Harold but I'm never going to go for that. And his dad was named David. He recently passed away)
Boy - I like Liam but dh isn't on board. He likes Tristan but that's my cousins SIL's name. So I have no idea.

I know. I just feel I would think of her all the time. And I'm not crazy about the name anyways. So that's my excuse not to use it lol.

Love love love Winter and Davis, these would be our names if DH didn't veto them. I'm a sad panda!
I've always love the name Charlotte Belle but DH is against it.. I also love the name Logan Marie Rose for a girl Logan is my grandfather, Marie is my grandmothers middle name and rose is my sisters name, but we haven't made any decisions. DH likes carter or Benjamin for a boy, I'm not thinking of boy names because I'm hoping for a girl lol

girl - Marian June (after my two favorite grandmas)
boy - no idea
Oh my! I didn't see this when I posted! Both of my Grandmothers are also named Marian! How funny!
ETA: wait, you probably meant one is Marian and one is June......
Yeah one was Marian and the other was Beverly June. MJ sounded better than MB in my opinion. I really wish they were alive to know about it :-/
ETA smiley face fail
Re: Share your names if you got em!
Natalie Ella
Kara Isabelle
Boys:
Luke (my fav)
Landon (DHs fav)
Adam (both of us like) and probably my maiden name for the middle name with any of those names which is Wynn.
Boy-Logan Drew/Logan Jude
I for sure thought my boy name would be all over the boards!
Girl: Lauren Patricia (Patricia after my beloved grandma)
We decided on names very early on and both love them!
Girl: Katherine Alexandra
Boy- Noah Keith or Cian Joseph
Married: August 2012
DD: 9/22/2014
Girl - Summer Emma or Summer Amber (we surveyed family and Summer Emma is the frontrunner. I'm using the "s" from my grandmother's name.)
Boy - Logan Martin (Martin is my last name.)
I'm amazed that we came up with something we both liked so these will probably stick.
Boy: Oliver, Charlie, Sam, and Will (was our boy name with DD but I feel like it's so popular right now).
DH just listens to me and doesn't say much. I do get the feeling he likes Oliver best for a boy because he initially suggested it.
DD is Nora Margaret
Nora - 10.26.12
Henry - 5.9.14
Boys: Davis Alexander, Mason Davis or Ronan Davis are top contenders. Davis is my maiden name, so I'd really love to use it for a boys first name. DH isn't 100% sold on this yet!

Girls- Nyla, Elena, Estella (DH only likes first)
Boys- (all DH suggestions) Sampson, River, Miles. I'm not a fan of any of those...
Boy: Logan _____
Girl: we like Harper, Amelia, Piper and Summer.... middle name for all would be Elizabeth for my sister
Boy names: Salvatore (Sam)--family name, or Lucas
For a boy I like Luke Alexander, but we won't discusse it hard core till we know the sex. Dh and I have a hard time agreeing on boy names.
Boy name Gavin Elliott or Gavin Pete
Lynn is both our sisters middle names
Elliott is Dh grandpa last name and Pete is my grandpa first name
