We finally decided on Graham David yesterday. Graham just because we like it. I'm a teacher so I wanted something that was easy to pronounce and wasn't super popular. David is my father's name.
Novella Faith. Novella was my great grandmother, Faith because we never quite believed the five doctors that told us we'd never conceive on our own. It drives me batty when people say "You know no one will call her that!" My first name is Amelia, and people were always trying to call me Amy, but with enough persistence everyone has managed to call me Amelia!
Becca Mae. We haven't decided if we will name her Rebecca or not. I love Becca and HATE Becky. Not real crazy about Rebecca either but like the formal name option for when she's a grown up.
I learned to love my uniquely spelled first name, and I'm hoping our baby girl will feel the same way. The middle name is thanks to my husband's man crush: Peyton Manning.
We are not 100% decided, we will wait until they get here to decide. We are also not really telling anyone, I just keep saying we can't agree on anything so we will decide when they are born. Current front runners for our Team Green twins are:
Oakley Edward Rhett Wilbanks
Amelia Jane Ella Kate
Oakley Edward Amelia Louise
I'm just glad we are finally starting to agree, and it was my husband that pushed the issue that we needed to talk names... Lol!
Not even close to deciding. Team green and all we have so far is Archer or Forrest for a boy and possibly Ember for a girl (although I'm a firefighter so is Ember too "obvious"? Quite possibly!) DH keeps pushing Jett for a girl or boy. We are waaaay out in left field as far as names go. Sigh!

How does Emaley get pronounced as Emma? Why not just name her Emma?
The name is not pronounced as Emma, that'll just be her nickname.
First name is picked out but the middle is still a toss up.
Ferris Elizabeth
Ferris Hazel
I'm liking the first the most so far. If anyone has an opinion, or suggestion, feel free!
I like Elizabeth with the first name Ferris. It seems to flow better when I say it. However, I love the name hazel. I just don't think it flows as well with ferris.
You're absolutely right. The more I say Ferris Hazel the less I think it flows. Ferris Elizabeth it shall be! Thanks for your input.
@Audrey1787 I'm in the same boat as you. I love Eleanore so much but DH can't get behind it. We've been tossing around Lucy, Madeleine, Flora, and Ofelia. I'm kind of exhausted at this point.
@tupelohoneybee I find it amazing that you even liked 30 names enough to put them on a list. I think for girls and boys without considering DH's opinion I could get to 20. OMG you still have 18 names! I'm curious about your list....
@Audrey1787 We had a similar process for naming dd. Three weeks before her birth we came up with a completely different name, which became her official name at birth. I guess we are hoping brilliance will strike at some point like it did last time. In the meantime, we whittle down our huge list:
Oliver Cassius Ronan Miles Ezra Alistair August Wesley Wyatt
Margaret Celeste Arabella Eleanor Hazel Evelyn Henrietta Elizabetta
Ronan & Ezra were on my final list. Along with Zeke as that was my grandfather's name. Zeke was vetoed by my hubby. Ezra always reminds me of the lyrics, "I remember running through the wet grass...falling a step behind."
First name is picked out but the middle is still a toss up.

My DH is now unsure of all our picked names (scream)..we are down to just two...or were. We both love Guinevere but he is concerned she may hate us in the future for such a handful of a name (I say any child of ours will pull that shit off like nobody's business), and NN Nevi is too damn cute. he thinks our other name, Molly (his late sister's name) is a bit babyish/too nicknamey for when she is an adult. Although he still likes both but his top choice is officially Scarlett. I love it but since it's getting pretty popular am not as taken with it.
Now he has decided he will just raise her up at birth like Simba and pronounce her name (not joking). I haven't quite gotten on board with this plan
We're 99% set on Amelia Tracy. I like McKenna too (although I know it's an unpopular choice). The name will be top secret until she gets here.
DH's family is calling her Tallulah Belle in the meantime
KatyInNH We're also naming our little girl Brynn and she's due April 3rd! We haven't chosen a middle name yet. We've been all over the place with that one!
We're naming our b/g twins Emma Belle and Konnor Alan. We've been telling as asked, which happens frequently. People always seem to have a list of questions when you're having two.
Re: Baby Name Poll: Have you named your baby yet?
Deciding between Reagan Mae and Reagan Elisabeth
Girls names are a lot harder!! Current front runners are Paige Marie, Eleanor (Ellie) Elizabeth, and Amelia Elizabeth. So super torn!!

Huge better than Ezra fan back in the day.
Ava Marie
Madison Marie
We have told some people and most love Ava.
Cannon is my maiden name and my Dad is the last one in the family. Wanted to carry it on some kind of way.
My besties daughters name is Makena
Our LO name will be Adryan Nicole and we are 100%
FN is my grandmother's maiden name & MN is a play on my sister's middle name, Suzanne.
