IBackBevo

1. Name you can't cut or keep cutting an re-adding: Wayland

2. Name you are just not sure about:  Guinevere - I love it, but then I watched a real life crime drama this weekend where a girl named Guinevere killed her father with a hatchet.  Ugh.

3. Unexpected name for you: Also, Guinevere...maybe Winter, too.

4. Name you think the board would love: Annabelle, Emmaline, Emmeline, Victoria

5. Name you think the board would hate: IDK. I don't think I have any that are awful.  Maybe Wayland because I think the board would consider it to matchy with my DS's name... I also like Astrea, but would not use it just because it is too unusual/too "greek mythology."  I also like Andromeda and Perseus, but already used both for dog names for the same reason.  I knew I would never name a child either of those names. 

6.  Name you would be sad not to use:  Dane or Winnie as a nn, maybe...none really.

7. gp name: IDK.

8. Favorite MN: N/A - I already have mn's picked out for girl and boy because they are family names.

9. Most unusual: Astrea

10: Newest addition: Levi

brownmouse

1. Name you cannot cut (or keep cutting and re-adding): Olive, I love it even though it would be way too much with Basil. Benjamin for a boy. It's not my style at all, as I tend to go for stranger names, but for some reason I can't seem to fully mark it off the list. I just always liked the NN Ben. But its just so... normal. Haha!
2. Name you're just not sure about: ANY boys names. We can't seem to agree on anything. I love Milo, but I'm not sure if I will actually use it if the time comes. And I'm not sure if I could see naming a little girl Ingrid, thought its definitely in the top three. I'd have to meet the baby girl before deciding on that one since we have three equal front runners for a girl.
3. Unexpected name (for you): Beatrix. Roscoe.
4. Name you think the board would love: Ingrid. Theodore.
5. Name you think the board would hate: Isla, Amelia. Owen. People seem to think they are both too popular but I like the for middle names.
6. Name you would be really sad not to use: Olive for a girl. Like I said above, I love it, and I really want to use it, and might just do it anyways.. but it might be too much with Basil. My boy name I will be sad not to use but never will is middle name James. My fathers middle name is James, and I always wanted it for a middle name for a boy but my FIL's name is James, and we have a terrible relationship (as does DH with him) and I don't want anyone to think I named my child after him because he is an awful person.
7. GP name: Ichabod. I might use it fr a middle name, but its totally GP for me. Also, Tallulah for a girl.
8. Favorite mn from the list: Jasper for a boy. Magnolia for a girl.
9. Most unusual: Atticus for a boy. Tallulah for a girl.
10. Newest addition: Eloise for a girl. August and Holden for a boy.

queenbone

1. Name you cannot cut (or keep cutting and re-adding): Gregory
2. Name you're just not sure about: Teresa/Tessa because my mom has a challenging relationship with a family member with a similar name, but DH and I both like for other reasons.
3. Unexpected name (for you): Glenn
4. Name you think the board would love: Lucy
5. Name you think the board would hate: Regina
6. Name you would be really sad not to use: George & Bernadette
7. GP name: Bartholomew
8. Favorite mn from the list: Lorraine
9. Most unusual: Ingaborg
10. Newest addition Rachelle, for the MN spot

Zimger

1. Name you cannot cut (or keep cutting and re-adding): Dylan...but I feel it sounds too much like SS name.
2. Name you're just not sure about:Graham
3. Unexpected name (for you): Noah
4. Name you think the board would love: Tobias
5. Name you think the board would hate: Colton
6. Name you would be really sad not to use:I don't know I kind of think Blake fits that category but I don't want to use a surname as a FN.
7. GP name: Eliot
8. Favorite mn from the list: Orion
9. Most unusual: Ronan
10. Newest addition:Reid

 

For what it's worth we changed LO's name to Michael instead of Blake. I just couldn't get with the meaning of the name or it being a surname.

1. Name you cannot cut (or keep cutting and re-adding): Luke (I'm supposed to cut it because DH has a bad association, but I won't, ha!)
2. Name you're just not sure about: Mary
3. Unexpected name (for you): Linus
4. Name you think the board would love: I don't know, my style is much more boring than most of yours!
5. Name you think the board would hate: don't know that I have any to hate, unless you hate boring, ha ha
6. Name you would be really sad not to use: Lewis
7. GP name: Linus for boy, Gretchen for girl (Linus feels too out there for our classic/traditional style, Gretchen is a joke name among some friends of mine, making it hard to use)
8. Favorite mn from the list: FIL's name for a boy, DH's grandmother for a girl (my side was used for our first)
9. Most unusual: see answers to 4 and 5 above
10. Newest addition: Victoria, NN Vicca, except DH gave it a big no (he said Victoria was a stripper and Vicca was a horse, bizarre associations IMO, but I guess it makes the name another candidate for question 1)
