Sad to give up my girls' names... Need to pick name order for baby boy!

carolyngrace

I found out yesterday we're having a boy. We really wanted a girl and are still adjusting to the idea. We only talked about having 1 (MAYBE 2) kids, and then adopting, so I feel like I may never get to pick an adorable girls name. I loved Elodie, June, Miriam, and Elizabeth... So part 1 of this post is throwing those names out to the universe. May some other sweet baby girl get them!

My question: Which of these names do you like better? We want to use DH and my dad's names. Last name is two-syllable german name. 

Gordon Henry

Henry is getting a bit popular, but I love it way more than Gordon.

The names together (either way) reminds me of Thomas the Tank Engine! You'll pick up on all of them quickly with a little boy

haha I did think of that Could make for a cute nursery decoration (not going to go crazy with a theme, though!)

I think Gordon as a FN is pretty badass, very unique!

At least one of you thinks so That's DH's dad, and his pick for first name, so I'm trying to prepare if he pushes for it really hard. I like Henry better, and it's my dad, so... We will see!!

I'm using Henry too (also a family name, and it will be the mn), I love it!!

Personally I prefer Gordon Henry, but both are very nice!

Henry Gordon. Both combos are very Thomas the Tank Engine though. Have you considered only using one of the grandfathers' names for now? You can't honor every body with one child.

I thought this baby was a girl too and had lots of names! I love Henry Gordon. I have a girl and a boy and I will say my son is awesome. So is my daughter but he is such a mamas boy whereas my daughter is miss independent. It is nice to be wanted!

I like Henry much more than Gordon.

On a side note, if you plan to adopt in the future, is there a reason why you couldn't adopt a girl?

I prefer the flow of Henry Gordon.
Although, I do get the Thomas Train feel and I have girls.
I like the idea of using just one family name, too.

Henry Gordon sounds better in my opinion

Henry Gordon by a lot. Henry is a little popular but it is a beautiful, classic name.

You can't always choose, and waits get extended with gender preferences

I agree, please don't share your gender disappointment with your son. Ever

Henry Gordon is great, and little boys are the best things ever.

I was really nervous about having a boy. I was raised by a single mom and sister.

If you're nervous about having a boy, I assure you, you'll learn! I know the name of every Disney Cars character, I know (well used to know) the ATL Braves line-up, I love taking my son to baseball games, I'm learning about all the marvel superhero characters, and despite what everyone says, little boy clothes are awesome!

You'll be fine. I promise.

*Just to add I'm totally against gender stereotypes and the things my son is interested in are of his own choosing. He also has a pink shopping cart (that he picked out all on his own) and stainless steel pots and pans because he likes to "cook."
