Cute names!

I love Bohdi. It's my top boy name at the moment!

Our little girl is names Harleigh Rae. So this one is going to be named Charlie either way. If it's a girl we are deciding between Charlie May/Kay/Rae if it's a boy his name will be Charles Fleming V (the 5th) ( my husband is the 4th ) he will go by Charlie also. I love hearing everyone's different taste in names. It's so much fun!

I'd really rethink the rhyming thing - Charlie May and Harleigh Rae? It's too late for poor Harleigh - but you can salvage the second.

I was 100% set on my first daughter's name since I can't remember when. Her name was always going to be Marissa Lynn. SO doesn't like it cause he says it sounds too "country". He tried to make me give up the whole thing but I still want my little Missy. After much debate we have come to an agreement!!! We decided to go with Marissa Mae if we have a girl and Vincent Cornelius for a boy. There is also a likely chance that we could have twins with my family history so we are thinking Zoey Paige for a second girl but we haven't even begun to figure out another boy name yet. It took the perfect middle name for him to make me fall in love with Vincent. Another boy name will be tough.

another solution would be to name her Sarah A__ S__  then you could still call her A___ (I don't think you mentioned the actual A name) and her intials would be SAS.

We've been set on a boy name for a while:
Connor Michael

Girls are a different story. I wanted Grace/Gracie because our last name also begins with G and I liked how it sounded. DH hated it, so it's now a middle name:
Kimberly Grace

Question about a name now. We aren't SET on the first name on the boy. What does everyone think of the name Boston?

We had a baby in the studio a few months ago named Boston & we agreed it was adorable. He was Boston Todd.

LOL! I had an ex boyfriend named Todd and he had a dog named Boston! Don't let that deter you...I just thought it was a crazy coincidence!! :-D

I really love the names Karis and Collin. But it is SO early and there are so many good names to choose from! This is one of the most fun parts of being pregnant, though. Getting to pick a name that someone will have for their entire life. Gotta make sure I choose something they won't hate me for years down the road! ;-)

Kane Liam for a boy and Kora Lynn for a girl.... Husbands family all have the same initials, and so do all his dads siblings. I was totally not into it at first- did NOT want to be the next Duggar family- but it is super ironic that I also have the same initials! And the lady who started it all recently passed away, so it's really sentimental to their family.

My sister did this too, as her hubby's family all have the initials TW. It limited her options, but I think it actually made narrowing down names easier. She went with Tucker Weston and it suits my nephew so well!

Callum Paul (picked out since I was 10, and my DH LOVES it. Paul happens to be a fam name on both sides)

Evelyn...but it's so popular we may find a different one

rablissful

So far we have Alice for a girl. I would like to have her middle name after my mom, who is Cynthia, but I don't think I like Alice Cynthia or Alice Cindy or Alice Lee (her middle name). Any suggestions are appreciated!

We can't decide on a boy's name. We like Ian, Spencer, Russell (nickname Rus or Rusty), and Wesley so far.

How about Everly, it's slightly different to Evelyn but I think just as nice

I would say a good rule of thumb when naming your kid is do the "Starbucks test". Use the name of your future child when ordering your drink at Starbucks or tell a hostess at a restaurant. Are you uncomfortable saying the name? Do you have to spell the name? What look does the employee give you upon hearing the name? If you're uncomfortable telling someone its your name or find that you're annoyed spelling it once or twice, you might want to re-think giving the name to your child for life.

My brothers name is Spencer. He got lots of compliments on it growing up!

gollygeeitsamy

This!! I read through all the pages and didn't really like the names. As someone who was once a teacher and now works in the training dept for a fortune 50 company, please think about your kids at job age and how they will be perceived by a future employer. I've had so many head shakes and laughs at names, I feel very sorry for those people. I'd much rather have an Alan Smith than an Alyane Smith.

Also, I've been looking at the social security administrations top 100 names, they have it broken down by decade, I love to see how it's changed over the years.

Maddison Grace & Charlie Ray!

Girl: Payton Jade
Boy: Hayden or Troy and idk middle name yet

Everly is not a name.

Yes it is, it also can be spelt Everleigh. My cousin is called Everly. I'll tell her she doesn't have a name next time I see her. If you don't have anything nice to say don't bother saying it.

Since we'd been trying for a while we have names picked out. Matthew Robert Jr. or Ruby Ann.. Ruby was my grandmother's nickname and Ann is both of our mothers middle names so excited!

KissMeImScottish

My husband and I have been trying for quite a while now (I have PCOS and he's a Navy Submariner, so between my inconsistent ovulation and his deployment schedule, getting pregnant has been a challenge, to say the least) so we've had names picked out for a while. So happy we'll finally be able to use them, God willing!

If we have a boy, he will be William Alexander (both family names from both sides) and if we have a girl, she will be Harper Grace. We had such a hard time with girl's names, but we both love this one!

It makes me laugh at how mean some people are about other people's names. I thought everyone was just sharing, I wasn't aware they wanted a negative opinion of a complete stranger. My god I never realized how mean some people could be. How is anyone going to say "that's not a name." Pretty sure if their parent gives them that name, then ITS A NAME.

Everly was #383 on the social security name list Guess they made it up too

Amelia Charlotte for a girl... our dd is Sophia Ellerie. We haven't agreed on a boy. Options are Silas, Patrick, Cohen, or Zachary.

just because I can name a kid Sparkles doesn't mean it's a good choice.

I'd rather hear the snark and "mean things" people have to say about a name before I stick a person with that name rather than my kid talked about and judged for the name I gave them.

Well if you were choosing to name your kid sparkles I doubt you would be the type of person to care what a stranger on a forum said about it anyways.

The comments I'm referring to are names that aren't that different. The point is people don't need to be that rude about stuff.. There is a right and wrong way to go about saying stuff and not sound like a complete B about it.

Thanks @mishons26‌ and @TeamHayes‌ I was just trying to be nice and offer an alternative. I also don't understand why people can be so horrible on here!
And @chibiyui‌ as I said before if you don't have anything nice to say don't bother saying it. I haven't come on here to be poked fun at or get sarcastic remarks back when I post. I want to be able to advise and share without cruel remarks from keyboard warriors with nothing better to do than to be horrible to others.
This is a place for everyone to share and be a community everyone is going through the same thing and we should be sticking together and helping then being nasty.

I agree. If someone isn't asking for an opinion about a name choice, why make unnecessary, rude remarks? I don't like everyone's choices and I'm sure everyone doesn't like mine. So what. I've definitely noticed there are some extremely negative women on here. I don't get it.

tigerfish227

Not everyone is going to agree on every name that people come up with. Thereareso many options and variations out there that inevitably someone is going to absolutely hate whatever name you come up with no matter how "normal" or unusual. For all of you that are posting nasty comments about how this name "isn't a real name" or that name is terrible or whatever... Who are you to make that decision? Just because you don't like a name or maybe haven't heard it before does not mean it isn't real or that it is a bad name. Do you honestly believe that you have heard every single name in existence? And how did these names all start anyways? Someone at some point in history MADE THEM UP!!! So I say if someone wants to come up with a unique name for theirchildinstead of the entire world being named with the same small set of names, GREAT!!!! Some of us would have loved a more unique name growing up instead of constantly being confused with the 10 other people with the same name in our age group. Even the most common names have spelling variations so it's not like you can prevent that problem either.

In short, quit being so quick to judge everyone else and making others feel bad just because you don't like something. To each their own. It isn't your choice so you might as well keep your negativity to yourself. And stop trying to ruin someone else's happiness.

I love different and less common names, I have 3 boys: Aydin William, Connor Lee and Lokee Michael. My oldest is 8 and has only met one other Aydin. Have not met another Connor or Lokee. I lover their names. I have a very unique name and love it! Might get pronounced wrong or people assume I am not white (sounds bad, don't take it the wrong way ty) But no one forgets my name. Everyone always want to know where it came from. Do not get discouraged by the resume test. I have never had an issue. We picked Felix (b) and Rehlin (g) for number 4. Should probably add my name lol Tericka ☺

Toyo0914

Just adding ALL names were made up at some point.

mrsraycomingsoon

Haven't decided first names yet, we do know boy or girl it will start with K. We have Allen picked out for our boy's middle name and Jean for our girl, both family names.

I think I'm going to name my kid Asshat!


See, these other names don't sound so bad now, do they? Why anyone cares what another woman is going to name their child is beyond me. I'm having a hard enough time finding a name I like at all! I don't have time to worry about other people's decisions. Love to all the respectful ladies on here xo

https://www.behindthename.com/glossary/view/etymology

All true names should have a history, a point of origin.  William, Alice, John, etc. all have history and meaning behind them.

Neveah, Qwintyn, Charleigh do not.  

So the very fact that someone can sit down, throw a bunch of letters together, and call it a name doesn't make it a legitimate name. 

What do you think happened when those "true" names came into existence? SOMEONE PUT LETTERS TOGETHER AND CALLED IT A NAME... so by that logic none of us have legitimate names. Just because something is different doesn't make it fake or wrong. That is called reality. Wake up and quit judging others by your skewed standard of right or wrong.

I love Cohen! I have a little boy named Cohen but with a K.

tigerfish227

I really don't care what people name their kids but the fact remains that you are the one accusing people of using "fake" names and your argument is that someone can't "sit down, throw a bunch of letters together, and call it a name" if you think that just because a name doesn't have a history means that it isn't a legit name then you are ignorant of how names came into existence in the first place. Time is the only difference between a name that has history and one that doesn't. So telling someone they can't use some imagination and create a new name is just plain ridiculous. And that is the point I was making. You are judging people based off of an idea that makes no logical sense.
And by the way etymology is not just about the origin of names. It is about the origin of all words and how they have changed over the course of history. Guess what? Time is still ticking. We make history every day. Things change... Otherwise etymology wouldn't exist.

hrossi253

Whether you have an unusual name or not...things are bound to get spelled/pronounced wrong. My name is Hayley, which is an old name, that has "history" or whatever...and was (and still is) a surname that I'm sure some crazzzzzzy mom decided she like waaaaay back in the day and decided to give it to her kid. She was probably labeled nuts. But, now that time has gone on, it's a super popular name! ALTHOUGH, if I had a dollar for every time I had to repeat my name or spell it for someone, I could retire on a beach somewhere. Not to mention my sister's name, which is Mackenzie. Originally a boy's name...the spelling is almost impossible. Names come from allllll over. Just because you haven't heard it before, doesn't mean it doesn't maybe come from another country, or is a combination of special names, I've seen parents combine names that maybe aren't "traditional" but are no less lovely. Yes, I think if you name your kid "Nutella" you should draw a line. But just because it's "traditional" doesn't mean it's any less easier to spell/say. My family is Japanese, and a lot of them have traditional Japanese names. Because most people haven't heard them or they aren't on a top Social Security list make them less? I dunno. But I think to each their own. I hope that when my child grows up, it won't be just their name someone judges them on. That's all. lol

krmicmac

My husband and I have had our names pretty set since we got married!

William Frederick for a boy. Nickname: Liam. My husband is a William that goes by Wil. He wants a Jr., but the different nickname is to tell them apart. I grew up in a household where all the firs born sons had the same name.....so nicknames are a must. Liam is an irish nickname for William. Oh...and Frederick is my father.

Kaitlyn Grace for a girl. Kaitlyn is the Irish version of my name. We also have a thing for K girl names. Grace is my husband's grandmother (his mom's name is already taken).

We like to have a little bit of both families in our names.
