Let's talk...baby names!!

caitlindenise

Just curious if anyone has thought of names they like yet?

We're thinking James David for a boy.
And a girl we have no idea.

Any thoughts?

Mommy62408

We are doing Benton for a boy, Parker for a girl:) With my oldest DD, I constantly paid attention to names on tv and when I overhead people talking:)

@Mommy62408‌ Those are extremely cute!!

WashingtonQueen

There's a baby name board. Good place to go for a baby name fix.

ETA: Fixed word

MyOwnLady2

Taylor Rebecca for a girl, Caleb Gordon for a boy

CsJ442009

Tucker Grant for a boy and Darcey marie for a girl

shaynablack

Alexander Daniel James for a boy, Alexandria Lynn Marie for a girl. Xander or Lexie for nicknames   :>

eboyd83

we are doing liam crispin brown for a boy, but haven't figured out for a girl yet.

LadyXaverian

Definitely Duncan for a boy and probably Matilda (nickname Tilly) for a girl.

I have no idea. The names I used to like are way too popular now.

This! Every name I loved 5 years ago and filed away as a potential baby name is so super popular now. I don't understand these zeitgeists and how everyone woke up one day and decided to name their daughter Lilian/Lily. I have one name that I love for a boy that I'm certain an second now will take off in popularity and it's frustrating.

I really like Veton C'Ville for a boy and Opal Chyne for a girl

My husband and I started telling everyone we are naming our child America for a girl and Thor(which is also our dog's name) for a Boy.  We are going to pick 3 names we both like and wait to see what we think suits the baby after it is born. A few of my friends posted their chosen baby names on social media and had people actually steal the names (which I didn't think still happened) and while your hormones are raging is devastating when you live in a small town.

adoringangeldmb

Callie for a girl and Aiden or Caleb for a boy . My husband and I had a hard time even picking a girl name we both liked, hehe.

My mom desperately wants me to name the baby Oprah if it is a girl.  She is obsessed with Oprah Winfrey and its borderline creepy.  No matter how many times I veto the name Oprah, she keeps pushing for it.  My boyfriend thinks she's nuts.

evalynn24

We are most likely going with Michael Gennaro for a boy or Adriana Nicole for a girl. Both middle names are in the family and we like the others just because. I used to REALLY like Corrie for a girl and still love Gabriel for a boy, but maybe we'll use those for the next one

LollyLawlz

William for a boy (billy after my dad). Alice Estelle for a girl

You're making a funny right? I'm gonna go ahead and say you are because it makes me feel better

michelleailee

for a girl, i like ailana (pronounced eye-lah-na) or eliana (pronounced ellie-ana). both have to do with light and because this baby is like the shining light in my life, i thought it was appropriate

for a boy, i like caden (pronounced cay-den) because it means battle and it also is fitting because there are a lot of factors that are opposing this baby but i am still fighting for him/her. 

ScubaMomma

@caitlindenise that's a great name.

I have only come up with a girl's name, Olivia Simone named after my mil and husband's grandmother (both from Quebec).
We named our son Maxime Gabriel.  

mrsdormane

I love Georgia or Georgiana for a girl and Hudson or Thatcher for a boy.  DH and I don't agree on any names.  Why is naming a human so hard>?!

GummiBearJ

@mrsdormane I love Georgia for a girl!

We're thinking Riley for a boy and Amelia/Emilia or Sloane for a girl. We have a few other names we like but these are the ones we keep coming back to.

MichaelSC28

Whew...no one said Sophie.

Girl: I got Sophie Elizabeth - if you want to use it...just don't tell me lol! I will unknowingly Share

Boy: My husband is a 2nd so of course we will have a 3rd,  William Joseph - nickname Liam

@lollyLawlz suprised you were the only other William, such a popular name...

@Wolkie: no offense, when I saw Chardonnay I was like...steel or wood barrel...mmm. But then second the thought it is a very pretty name.

That's what I was thinking.

KRafaia

My friend's gramma's name was actually America. I like it. Lol, it was passed down to my friend for a middle name and my hubby loves calling her, "Aubrey America"

Soo.... you know Sophie/Sophia is in the top five names in the US for like the last ten years... right? Also that it was the number ONE name for the last three years. If other people using the name bothers you, you should probably rethink using it....

www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi

Elizabeth is also top ten...

MichaelSC28

It was a joke, I am very aware that the name is top five.   The reason I said "LOL".  Its not like I own the name so I am aware others will most likely have it.

Thanks!  I love Sloane!  That is on my list, too!!

We picked Leah Noelle for a girl today and still struggling with boy names. I always wanted Wesley but now I leaning towards Ben.

Also have Edison, Silas, and Chase on the list

But... why?

gladys509

We picked Noah for a boy & Jocelyn for a girl:)

msmeg26

Either michael or michelle for middle names after my dad who just passed away a year ago. 

First names are up in the air.. but for a girl I'm kind of liking Vivian Michelle. 

I'm not giving names much thought until I find out what we are having in 5-8 weeks. 

Prinycesa07

Olivia Mae is a definite.  For a boy we arent positive but the only thing that we agree on and are leaning towards is Mason Parker. Both middle names are family ones.

lolo428

DH and I managed to agree on Giovany for a boy (that's usually the Hispanic spelling of it vs Giovanni). For a girl, I'm set on Alexandra but we're also considering Valentina or Sofia. Middles names are still up in the air.

nikkitaplin

my husband likes Declan for a boy.  We like McKenna for a girl but I like the spelling of Makenna better.  I like McKenna Faith.  It took a lot of faith to get to this point.  I'm not liking Declan....

tanaandnugget15

for a boy i can't pick i like Spencer (nickname Spence), hunter, Gavin, Holden, Braydon, Ryder, decisions.... ahhh help?!

Definitely Spencer! Great name. Gavin is nice too.

PhilsWife07

Sophia for a girl, Stephen for a boy

barbikins

DH & I haven't discussed names yet.

The one boys name I loved for many years is, Nolan. However I did a bad thing and shared the name with some friends. They had a boy last fall, named him Nolan. I was pissed for a long while. I think it's uncouth to steel a name. Or at least ask FFS....so lesson? I won't be sharing names with ANYONE. OK, maybe one person.

I am not partial to any other name but have ideas.

Boy: River James or James River

Oliver (maybe?)

Girls: 

Elsa, Leah, Skyler, Gemma, Emma, Everly, Jenna, Neve, Addison, Avery

I'll probably hate all of them in 6 months
