Due with #2 and we need you! (Long)

Kmommy91

We are due with #2 in November and are trying to gets list going. As much time I have researching and looking for names, I have no clue what to name this child. I guess we're waiting for something to jump out at us. With our son it was really easy and we just knew by 20 weeks. His name is Abram Christopher.

My husband will soon be deploying in a month and I'm not sure how much we'll be able to talk, or if he'll have that much time to think about names. There's a chance this baby will be born before daddy gets back. This is where we'd like your help.

We aren't very concerned about matching a sibling set but we wouldn't want anything drastically awkward. I'm also not into anything trendy and want to try to steer clear of the top 100.

Any suggestions are helpful. Thank you!

EDT: EDT: I would say our style is classic eccentric and sweet and simple.

Can we get a little more direction as to your naming style?

Oh yeah sure! No problem!
I'm really liking Calla for a girl, and my husband likes Iris and mentioned Penelope recently. For a boy I like Thaddeus, Alan, Zane, and Roman, and my husband likes Bartholomew.
I'm the least picky between the both of us.

Thanks! Felix is awesome but my hand says he thinks of a cat.
I like Gideon too! I keep going back and forth on it though. Sometimes I think it may be a little too out there? Is it becoming more well known you think?

I don't think I would use it because of the big rise in popularity.

Jags8

@Kmommy91 I have a very positive association with Gideon because I know a really sweet kid with the name. I don't think it's too out there. I do think of Felix the cat also! Not sure how many people do? It is a cool name. Is Penelope really becoming that popular?

Thanks for that. I'll add Gideon for now and ask my husband about it. It's really masculine and I know that's probably what he likes.

As far as Penelope...

She likes Thaddeus, Roman, Bartholomew, Josephine, and Beatrix. 


Oh shoot! Totally didn't mean to ignore your question! This is going to be a long pregnancy...

Don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. Way too early. Only around 6 or 7 weeks.

I have Willem on our list. That's close to Wilhelm. Worried it may be confused for William though?

Selah was a fn choice for our angel baby. I may consider it for a mn but I don't feel right recycling it for a fn.

I ADORE Maeve. My husband, not so much.

Iris is one we've agreed on before.

Ezekiel is ok.

I like Margot too but I may be too afraid to use it.

No problem! I love your style!

Eilwen = ale-wen 

Eilwen is pretty. Might be too out there though? Like with the pronunciation.
