Let's talk names! If you had your baby today...

HisuiNekome

For a boy we're set on Jameson Ira.

A girl, I know we're going to make her middle name Mae, after DH's mother. He really likes Arian for a first name, but I'm not sold on it yet.

We already have our names picked. Girl - Ava Marie Boy - Aidan Matthew Ritter

Great minds think alike!  This has been me and DH's favorites out of the girl's names we've looked at so far.  Kathryn Marie is a close second. (Middle name will be Marie, no matter what)

For a boy, I really like the name Alexander, but we are stuck on middle names.

kcox11

Its our first so we have had a little list of names for over a year. After going over it again a few days ago, we finally agreed on Evelyn Harper and Aiden (no middle name yet).

lesleyn21

With Ds it was easy he was gonna be a jr for sure. Matthew Ryan Jr (MJ). If he ended up being a girl we were screwed.
For this one, if it's a Girl we like Makaylee or Hadley with a middle name Jane (dh mom) or Nichole ( my middle name).

If it's a boy we are still eh about it. We like Jaxon or Michael but Michael is quickly fading. The middle name for sure would be Corey after dh brother who was a still born long ago.

NatashaKelly

Girl- Lucy MaryEllen
Boy- Augustus David

MrsZko

Girl (still in the running from last time): Avery, Amelia, Leila with MN Joan (for both our grandmothers!)

Boy: We still like Zachary, but we had a hard time agreeing on names we like other than that. I like Lucas, Anthony, and Matthew...I don't know if it would be weird but I'd like my Mom's maiden name as MN it's Crawford....Still contemplating !

Kathryn is pretty much the best name and the best spelling ever.

I may be biased though....

SouthernMomma+3

Boy-Nolan or Declan
Girl-Cora, Calliope, or Kiersten
DH only likes Nolan and Kiersten, but I'm not 100% yet. No clue about MNs either.

WhitEm14

Girl-Sohpia or Grace
Boy-Samuel or James

But we aren't in live with any name right now. I think we are going to wait to really talk about it after we find out the sex.

Ctamas

Boy- Samuel Louis
Girl- Rula Ann

shutaff

Do you know this is the name of Steve Carell's character on The Office? Just thought I'd let you know because that name may have that association for a lot of people... He's really goofy guy.

Girl: Madilyn (maybe Renee for a middle name?) Boy: Michael Scott (my BFF told me it's stupid to use two first names but I like it)

jenn2714

We have had the hardest time finding boy names, we have all boys so far, we had 2 names picked out for the last boy and said whichever one we don't use we can use next time if needed. So if we have ANOTHER boy his name will be Everett Coen. Girls names I'm not even thinking about yet, I don't want to get my hopes up.

I know Ava is such a popular name, but I've loved it forever and I'm not changing it. It's classic, so it's always going to be high up on the list. Marie is my middle name and a family name, so that would be the middle name no matter what.

shutaff

Boy: William Rhett (the V - My husband is the IV.)

Girl: Charlotte Catherine (Middle name could change.)

phillipsd46

Boy - Gardner Merritt

Girl - Catie-Jane Marie

AR1of2

Girl: Kenzie Grace
Boy: Nicholas Patrick

MrsLaLaBug

Haven't decided quite yet, but I really like uncommon names - NOT names with YOUNEEK spellings, just names that are uncommon.

MarisaKathleen

We're not even entertaining the idea of boys names.  If it's a girl we're going to name her Cora Susan.  My Grandparents died 2 weeks before I had DD and my Grandma's name was Coralyn, so we're shortening it to Cora.  Susan is my Mom's name, but I just really like how Cora Sue sounds. 

Nicolevigil94

Girl- nevaeh hope vigil
Boy- Daniel Uriah vigil

Lacey88119

My husband and I have been TTC for 2.5 yrs and in that time we have had a solid boys name but NEVER could agree on a girls name. Both my name and DH start with a L so we want to keep with that. There's pretty good odds that we'll be having twins - if its twin girls it will be thing 1 & thing 2 (jk) that's what we joke because we can't even slightly agree on one much less two.

Boy- Lyle Allen
Girl- L....

Me too! Unfortunately mine and my moms middle name is Kay, which I don't think goes well with Ava, and neither do any our grandmas or dhs's moms names. Love that you have a middle name with meaning that goes so well with it!

julestony

Boy - Brandon David (middle name will definitely be David as there are Davids every generation on both sides for both if us)

Girl - Allyson...middle name can't decide between Amelia (after my great gram) or Nicole or Bailey.

DS is Cole Harrison If we have a girl she will be Anna Rose ( after my grandmother and DH's Grandmother) Right now we like Jonah David for a boy. I also like Jude, but DH isn't quite on board with that one.

I also love Jude, but DH doesn't care for it.

Annsor

Charlotte Harper for a girl
We can't decide on Micah or Liam for a boy.
I won on my girls name so I suppose I'll let the hubby and son pick the boy name!

Texasgurly0313

@aggiefrau08 Marie is my middle name and a family name as well (mom and grandmother both had it as a MN and DH's grandma's name is Maria).  

@groxb I've loved the name Kathryn (with that spelling) since grade school.  I always thought it was such a pretty name.  The NN would be Kat if we used it because there are a ton of Catherines in DH's family and we wanted to give her some individuality.  

Welchbaby2

Girl= khloe grace
boy= we have no idea just really hoping for a girl this time lol

emmyfreeman27

If I had baby today, baby wouldn't be named for days! Ha! 

We spent SUCH deliberation over LO#2, and we didn't find out the sex until birth, so we finally came up with TWO perfect names. We ended up using our girl name, Providence Louisa, and didn't use our boy name, Abraham Koert (Koert is a Dutch family name).  Now, I'm not feeling Abraham Koert so much. Isn't that weird?

I'm thinking I'd like to use place names this time. Our oldest is Ruth Seraphina, #2 is Providence Louisa, and I'm liking the names Bethlehem (girl) and Zion (boy) this time. We sort of have a biblical theme going with names, but one is an actual "name," one is an ideal/virtue, so we may do a place this time.  No ideas on middles yet. 

(I know- we choose the weirdest names. Roll your eyes- it's not the first time I've seen it! I just can't stand trendy, cute-sy names, and I totally abhor the Southern girl double-names. My name is really common, and I always wished I had a "different" name.)

AccioPizza

We won't pick until we actually new the baby, but we'll go in with a few options. Right now we're at a bit of a standstill with boys' names: I'm obsessed with Jasper, and my husband still loves Benjamin. I've always loved Benjamin, but it was our front runner for like 8 months with Owen and now I can't get excited (yet) about using it for the next one. I even kept accidetaly calling Owie 'Ben' for a good week after he was born LOL. For girls, our favorites are Lila, Vivian, Clara and Fiona.

sapphires-and-diamonds

My favorites right now are Sawyer for a biy and Kylah for a girl.
At this point the name will be 'boy' or 'girl'. We know a billion people (my H is a social butterfly who is still friends with everyone he has every made friend with). It makes choosing a unique name hard. That being said, I am about to not give a fucking and if our kid has the same or similar name as a friend or family member or their kid, oh well.

amy006

I think we're going with Benjamin Scott for a boy or Clara Rae for a girl...but I change my mind a lot so this could change

JD83

We've had our names picked out for quite a while, since before we started TTC.

Boy: Dominic Christopher

Girl: Remy Lauren

If we end up with twins, a second girl will be Rio Dianne. A second boy is still a toss up. I like Vincent, DH likes Ivan. MN will be Thomas.

Boy - Levi Girl- hahaha no clue

Same actually. Meaning that Levi is the only name we've come up with yet besides Scott, who is DH's BFF. But I'm not sold on Scott, and DH isn't sold on Levi, so I don't think it'll be either one. If we have a girl...well, it's a good thing we have tons of time to think about it.

We almost divorced (not really) over my daughter's name and finally settled on Paige... We've had boy names for a long time. Owen or Colin. A girl this time we both currently like Amelia.

I love the name Colin, but it doesn't work with our last name. Boo.

I think Cora Sue is adorable!  I love it.

I have no idea what we'll name another boy.  We struggled with naming DS2.  He was nameless for the first 12 hours of his life.  I like Nathan, but DH isn't really on board.

Our original girl name was always Natalie.  I still like it, but also really like Caroline (nn Carly).

DogfishHead

We waited until we met DD to name her.

We are planning to do that with #2, but we are going to have a list this time.

Haven't started thinking about this yet, but we both like Patrick, Desmond, and Henry. I like Fiona, Daphne, Ariadne, and Persephone for a girl. DD's name is classically Greek, so I would love another Greek name for a girl.

lrau123

Girl is Lyla Claire. Boy is Mason Joseph. Lyla because I wanted an L name for a girl because I have always been obsessed with my capital cursive L. Mason is my DH's grandfather's name and Joseph is my dad's middle name.

JanaK2013

The DH is a HUGE Star Wars fan and fought me tooth and nail to get Anikin for a boy ("We could call him Annie!!" ...?  Really?).  We compromised on Benjamin Kenobi because at least Benjamin is a "real" first name!  I still really don't like it, so he came around to -

Boy: Theodore Logan (DH says it's from Bill and Ted, but I prefer to think it's Teddy Roosevelt and DH's college rugby nickname)

Girl: I love Callie, he says no.  Chelsie is a good combination of our mother's and grandmother's names, so we might have something there.  He wants Criquet, I...don't know how I feel about a name that will always make me think of a bug, even a cute-ish conscience bug.

Thoughts?  Help dealing with a stubborn DH? haha

beck12803

I really like the name Raelynn Diane for a girl. But DH is not having it. :-( I'll just have to try harder. For a boy, I like Andrew James but he liked Carter James (that was his name for DD2 if she had been a boy) . Now, he's not sure.

ritzgrrl

@JanaK2013 I had a nerdy DH situation like that the last time around. I jokingly suggested Tiberius James (like James Tiberius Kirk from Star Trek), and DH loved it. He said we could call DS Ty or TJ, which is great, but his name would still be Tiberius. Thankfully, we had a girl.

kimbee009

I'm still in shock that I'm pg that I haven't even thought of names!

I do have a long list for girls that I've never used. My top two being Briar and Hattie. Boy names on the other hand are going to be a struggle : /
