Newbie! (names inside)

DaBearsFansWife

Hello bumpies!
I'm new here. Lurked for a couple of months and usually stay on the BOTB board but in celebration of our decision to start TTC I wanted to introduce myself and toss out some names we were considering.
DH and I are huge Bears fans. DH is from Chicago and I am from Florida, we meet in college in Tennessee and got married 4 years later in July 2013. We've been NTNP since September and decided this month to start actively TTC. Here are the names so far. Last name sounds similar to Callaway

Sophia Renee
Brennan Lee Joseph
Riley Thomas

For girls I tend to like less common names and Sophia, although a fine name, just doesn't do much for me.  I have always like Brennan for a boy and love Thomas.       I really dislike Riley though- aside from the fact I know just one boy and ooddles of girls with this name   I just generally am not fan of the -ley ending on names.

I think Brennan Thomas or Brennan Joseph is great

GL!

Thank you! I have a very very uncommon first name that is unnecessarily difficult to pronounce so I gravitate towards easier names. Thomas and Joseph are family names so I am very happy to hear that they are still good names (as opposed to being outdated). I know a couple girls named Riley but I always viewed it as more masculine.

I really like Riley on a boy. Where I live it is a boy's name about 9/10 times so I have always thought of it as masculine as well. Sophia might be popular but I still think it's very pretty.

I love Brennan! 

Sophia is pretty but is the most common name in the US for the last couple years.  May not bother you though, it is a lovely name!

I know only Rileys that are girls, but that too may be different in different areas of the country.

Last year, Sophia was the single most frequently used name for girls.  If that doesn't bother you-- it's a lovely name.

Brennan is nice, but I personally prefer Brenden. 

Riley is just OK for me.  Don't love it or hate it. 

I do however love Thomas!

Sophia is the only one I like in that bunch. IMO Riley and Brennan sound a little outdated and overdone.

I really like Riley Thomas! Not a fan of Brennan and Sophia is nice, but not my style.

Riley Thomas is my favorite out of them all so far but alot of that is because my dads name is Thomas

I love Riley Thomas/Joseph. Renee is great too. The others are ok. Can I suggest Sonia?

Ok, put on your judge pants, but I cant say Sonia without incorporating a foreign accent. Judge away lol
