Names ( child mentioned, not mine)

This might be a touchy subject for some women in TTTC, but I was thinking of sharing some baby names you have picked out. I also know some women dont like sharing because of other women taking their names but I promise I won't...lol. if you dont want to I understand.

If your any thing like me you've had names picked out ever since you were 10 years old. I had Kaylee Elizabeth for a girl but when my sister had hers she took it ( gggrr). But I was 17 and got over it and now after many decisions my names from younger years haven't made the cut. We have decided on Murphy for boy or girl, Murphy Connor for a boy and Murphy Flynn for a girl. A lot of people dont like it but in the end that doesn't matter. I just hope we have the chance to use it.

I love Michael...that is my dads name and his dads middle name is Anthony so anthony michael was our first choice but we are both very proud of being Irish and murphy was the first name we agreed on. I love Fiona and zone are adorable too!!

jencity9

We like Alexander for a boy (happens to also be DH's middle name, but I just like the name Alex), and Adriana for a girl. Before Adriana we both liked Kyla.

kallygirlie

DH has always loved the name Destiny Mae, I've always wanted Alexis Olivia (Olivia is my Mom's Middle name).  When we got together we talked and came up with Destiny Olivia for a girl.

The boy name I love is Celeb

For a girl we are think Elizabeth Ann, calling her Ellie. For a boy we are still debating but think it'll be Jackson Stanton, calling him Jack All family names, sort of..except for Jackson. DH has an uncle named John but they call him Jack. We adore Jack, and wanted that name but liked having a more formal name like Jackson to go with it.

At this point I like unusual names for us, not really unusual names but . I want ro bring back old classic names...we have told both our families and friends and trust me I know none of them like Murphy but at this point I've dealt with an odd name my whole life ( Kami) and Murphy is much more common. do understand what you are saying and family and friends cane for hurtful with their comments A ( my sisters original name for her daughter was Blissery)

DH loves the name Isabella , I like it too but it has become so popular I am a little put off. So we have compromised for Isabelle Marie for a girl.Marie is a family name I am a 3rd generation Marie and we would like to continue that tradition. For a boy we are dead set on Phoenix, I am in love with the name I know its not a conventional name but it suits us. We are still not set on a middle name for Phoenix , I like Oisin it comes from Irish mythology and as DH is from Ireland I thought it would be nice. He is not quite convinced yet he thinks no one would be able to pronounce it.

Isabella Marie is on our list of girl names! I love the way they sound together. I also like Charlotte, but DH hates it. Also Adeline, Cora or Maeve for girls. We are kind of all over the board.

For a boy were pretty set on Anthony Daniel.
@alaskadee23 Barrett is such a cool name for a boy!

ky29

Both DH and I have loved Liam for years. Now it's such a popular name that I'm not sure we want to use it. We haven't really discussed girls names, but I like Addison.

princessisadora

@missmarypoppins Our name list is all over the place too...I have so many names I love like Adelaide, Lila, Delilah but DH is set on having a baby Belli

WA1215

Girl names- Alice/Allison (family name) nn would be Allie. I also love Claire/Clairise (I named my first baby doll this as a little girl). 

Boy Name- Benjamin Calvin

TheRichBaby2014

For a girl I think we've decided on Juliana (ona, not anna) Ann-Marie (Ann is my mothers middle name and Marie is his late mothers middle name.)

For a boy were deciding between Jessie and Jakob. Middle name will be Thomas after DHs adoptive dad.

TTCBabyJ

My DH wants all his kids' names to start with a J and I'm ok with it...so for a boy probably Justin and for a girl Journey. To me this would be so fitting given all I have been thru to get pregnant.

chickysue

I like Nicholas Samuel or Caitlin Elizabeth.  I don't think DH likes Samuel as a middle name, and he's not sold on Caitlin. I also like Amelia, would call her Mimi.
Hopefully I'll get pregnant and we'll have to battle through the names!

We have friends who have three children, the first two from IVF and the third a surprise natural pregnancy. They named her Journey

We have an incredibly common last name, so want to go with more original first names. We like Petra for a girl and either Pierce Rivers or Cash for a boy. We would need to work on middle names for some of those. But I will absolutely admit to being a dirty lurker on Baby Names!

doodiebug18

For a girl we love Giuliana Grace and Paul Victor for a boy after my grandpa and dad.

hope2bmom83

The only name we have picked out is Cameron.  We originally said we would name a boy or girl that, but the more I think about it the less I like it for a girl.  It would be Cameron Lynn for a girl or Cameron Lane for a boy.  Lynn is really special to us because I was named after my dads infant sister who died, and her middle name was Lynn.  Also, my grandmother who I love so so much, she is truly my soul mate has the middle name Lynn.  My mother in laws middle name was Linda (she passed away in 2012) and she name DH after her so his middle name is Lynn.  Lane is my maiden name.
We like Cameron because we are both crazy Duke basketball fans and they plan at Cameron Indoor Stadium.  Stupid to some, but to us we LOVE it!
@Calindi you are so true about people not telling you the truth.  My ex husband just had a baby named Nulyn.  Everybody that I still talk to hates it but they wont tell them lol. 

Danaye

I have absolutely no choice on the boy b/c my DH is a Jr. and he wants to carry on the tradition

But for a girl, we like Rebecca Jane (our mother's names) and she would be called Becca. Had that one for a while, but lately we've also found we both love the name Lydia (his great-grandmother's name). I was thinking maybe Lydia Marie or Lydia Rose.

Sadly we also both love the name Hermione, and I love the character from HP, but I wouldn't name our future daughter that because she would immediately be type cast as that character, ya know? It's a bummer, because it's such a pretty name.

Kam10

For a girl we love Zoey Lynn, and for a boy we like Reed Alan. Reed is my maiden name, so I really like it, but I'm not completely set on it either. If we have a girl however, her name WILL be Zoey. DH and I decided on it before we were even married. Edited to add that that the only way we would not use Zoey is if my sister or brother use it before us.

Oh, I love Valentina as a girl's name! I must have tons of girl names in mind - Bernice, Gabriela, Thea, I could go on and on. I like Ben for a boy, but I don't care for Benjamin, so I don't know quite how we would work that out.

Bennett? Bentley?

Cindal

We have two girls names picked out Liliana Fey ( or maybe Faey instead haven't decided). We'd call her Lily. I've been in love with the name since I was a kid watching Legend over and over again. And its the name of my great great grandmother who was native american. Both my mom and my MIL have the middle name Faye but I like the fairy connotations that go along with the other spellings more.  Our second girl name is Grace after my great grandmother and Leona after his great grandmother.
We have been back and forth time and time again on boy names. I am absolutely in love with the name Donovan and a childhood nickname of Donnie. My grandfather is Don and I love all things irish. DH doesn't really like it. He kinda wanted a Jr. and I nixed that in a heartbeat. Trying to convince him on a comprimise of I pick the first name he picks the middle but eh he's not going for it. We also like Connor but its also insanely popular right now...so is Lily but eh whatever.
At the moment it's kinda hard to believe I'll ever get to use any of them.

TLooney17

I like Alexandra, Annabelle, and Charlotte for a girl, but I am not totally set on any of those names. I like Miles Edward or Maxwell Edward for a boy. Edward is my deceased father in law's name.

jencity9

@cindal I love both Lilliana and Leona!!

That reminded me that I really like Leilani (which is a Hawaiian name, and since DH and I are each half Asian/half white but different kinds of Asian our child will look ethnic, possibly Hawaiian lol) but for some reason DH is adamantly against that name.

We picked out the name Madelyn Adele years ago, before we were even married (and before Adele became famous).  I also like the names Adaline and Cora for girls.

As for a boy I like the names James, Jackson, Jack and Noah.

I have a feeling that we may see the Cora rise in the popularity chart.  Cora is the mom on Downton Abbey ....  I love that show.

First off, I love this post! I like talking about future good stuff, instead of procedures, and injects..lol secondly, I'm pumped--no one has our baby names. Not that ours are super original. . But you know! DH both say "olive" is a must for our first daughter. When I get u/s done, and he sees a follicle, he'll go "there's our olive" haha so cute. And deff boy name "Lincoln" secondary contenders for siblings are "Ruth, Eleanor, Bonnie, Kairi (from kingdom hearts) and Leela" then for boys "Chester" my husband literally wants to name a kid Chester cheetoh. (Smh) lol Norris is my maiden name and my dad unfortunately fathers only girls. We're the last of our kind !!!(He was an only child) so idk about first name, but deff middle name.

sundaybrunch

I feel the same way about Liam!  DH and I love it (it would actually be short for William which is the name of both of our fathers) but even though I'm not in touch with kids and popular names I had somehow gotten wind that it's very common now.  Oh well, pretty sure we'll go with it anyways.

Lillovebug79

My DH and I are set on Madeleine Claire for a girl and Mason Richard or Mason Jude for a boy. I love the name Claire too so if by chance we end up with twin girls (lol) it would be Madeleine and Claire!

I love Olive! I really like names that start with vowels for some reason. That is sweet what your husband says. For some reason whenever my SH and I talk about our potential future baby, it is always a she! I guess it could be because our dog is female so we're used to that gender but it's sort of funny how we assume.

misskrissymarie

I have had names picked out for years but I also have a long list of potential names as well. Hazel Elizabeth for a girl or Cyrus Matthew for a boy.Elizabeth is my sister's middle name, Matthew is from DH. I loved loved the name Zoey, but I used that for my fur baby when I got her this summer to help ease our sadness at dealing with IF.

coriej4110

DH is all for Brayden Michael. I think Brayden is okaaay, but not my first choice. I like Cameron Michael (Michael is DH middle)

And for girls I feel like I have a long list haha. Olivia Grace is my favorite, and the only one I'm dead set on. We also like McKenzie, Alexis, and Emma.

lookingup84

DH and I have such a hard time talking about names because he's hell bent on suggesting names he knows I don't like to tease me. So far his favorites are his name, Cormac, and his dad's name, Harry, for boys.  I don't mind his name but don't like the idea of a Jr. and can't stand his dad's name.  He doesn't really suggest any girls names.  And I'm, well I'm all over the board lol. We have somewhat agreed on three boys names in the running, however: Jonathan, Ronan, and Jameson. We did talk about Sofia Marie for a girl a lot wayyyy in the beginning of TTC but I had a Sofia in my classroom and now it's not as special .

lol we have three girl dogs hehe

ktupiak

I guess we picked an odd one with Murphy no-one else has mentioned that...lol. when I was born i was supposed to be Patricia Muriel after my moms mother and sister who passed when she was really young, but my real father had to have a name with a "k" so thats how my name came about. Now my mother has been hounding me well since I can remeber about using thoes names but they just dont quite work for me. If I ever did use them it would be for middle names like Abigail Patricia Muriel, but DH isn't sold...lol

megwill126

For a girl I love McKenna Haley.

Haley- was my cousin that passed away at the age of 3.

For a boy we do t have a name we love. I'm ok with having a Christopher micheal jr and calling him CJ.

I love Brayden Michael!! DH hates it though so it will be a no go if we ever get that far.

I always wanted Cordelia for a girl and William Marshall for a boy.  But, my husband was not on board with these names.  We have a girl from IVF #3 named Lillian which I love.  If we have another child, and it is a girl, her name will probably be Cordelia.  If we have another child and it is a boy, his name will probably Jamison Marshall (unless we would have twin boys and then there would be a Jamison Martin and a William Marshall).

JMForte33

We like Isabella Rose and Willow for girl names and Jack for a boy

jessimi06

We like Allison or Hailey for a girl and Jackson or Jamison for a boy. We also liked the names Mia and Rylee, but we used them for our fur babies

ReneeJ2011

We both LOVE e name Norah Elizabeth for a girl and Oliver Lee for a boy both use our middle names. I also love Ian, Patrick, and Henry for boys and Gracelynn Loveda (Loveda is my grandmothers name) and Charlotte but DH isn't too fond of any of those names. There are 2 names that we refuse to use though, Terry and Kevin, because both of our dads are Terry and both of our brothers are Kevin and it's confusing as it is we don't need to add another Kevin or Terry to the mix
