Our baby boy will be Alan John, named after his grandpa and his daddy. We plan on calling him AJ. Most of our family & a few close friends know our name, but we haven't gone totally public with it.
I avoided this thread thinking there would be a lot of drama--way to keep it classy ladies. NONE!
We aren't telling anyone. But we are going with
McKenna Lynn for a girl (we were going to do McKenna Mae because we liked it but after my mom passed away we decided on Lynn--mom's middle name). McKenna is a family last name
Reed Aaron for a boy-DH's grandparents have the last name Reed and they are the last Reed's left in our family--Aaron is DHS name (family tradition to have dad's first name as DS1s middle name on his side)
We picked the name about two months back but waited till my husbands Dads birthday (New Years eve) to share with family b/c her middle name is his mothers maiden name... Kind of a surprise for him... Charlotte McCahill We don't plan on making a big announcement or anything, just telling friends when/if they ask.
Our little boy is Kavanagh Ames (both family names). We have shared when asked. My family hates it. I told them to get used to it or start figuring out the nickname they plan to call him instead. Couldn't care less about others' opinions.
Separately, I'm a huge fan of how many of the names in the many pages of this post are traditional spellings (with no offense to those who are "y" happy or otherwise "unique" - just NMS). So many great names on here; well done ladies.

We are naming our boy Keller Harrison (Harrison is my maiden name) I had preferred to call him Harrison but husband isn't down for that. My mom hates the name but whatever - there are plenty of names I hate out there but to each his own. We have a 3 year old daughter named Karris and people love it now. I love "different" but not crazy/weird.
we're team green, so we have a boy name picked out, William (we're still arguing between calling him Billy or Liam though) James, but for a girl we only have Erin picked out, no middle name, although he's trying to go for something Chicago cubs related, and over my dead body!
Royal James, we have had it picked out since I was only 8 weeks, if we had a girl her name would have been Rosely Nicole, fingers crosses we get to use that name in the future :x
We want to have a name that reflects out backgrounds and languages spoken between us - English, German, Spanish and Japanese. Have a few ideas but am hesitant about sharing as I had one name I really liked that I shared with my mum. Afterwards, she referred to my belly by that name and I realised I wasn't so keen on it... Guess we will make up our minds once we see his face...
Ok so, middle name is Joel (a grandson of David in the bible). David is my dad, and he's very sick, but Jewish tradition says you don't name a baby after a living relative so we are hoping to honor him in this way instead.
Asher Joel Jonas Joel
Are the top two. We have decided we don't *hate* JJ even though we won't personally use it. It will be used, because baby will grow up in Houston, home of football awesomeness JJ Watt.
Ok so I am bracing myself, but what do you guys think? Not wanting to highjack thread...
Other possibility: my dad dies (as said before, fuck cancer) and we name him David Asher. Love the name hate the possibility. ETA: last name is slightly jewish two syllables starting with H.
We are having a boy and are 99% sure we are going with ...
Wyatt Kenton (Kenton being after my husbands younger brother who passed away a year ago at the age of 19). Our 3 year old son, Hunter Drew, loves the babies name and constantly refers to him as his baby Wyatt so most family know the name but we aren't officially announcing it until he arrives
@alexeleni I love both Asher and Jonas, and think that Joel is a wonderful way to honor your dad. I hope you get to use one of those names, simply because of what the other scenario means. However, David Asher is a lovely name as well.
