FYI -- For those who are considering the name Addison/ Addie and such;
as you probably saw on the news, FDA just approved some female sex enhancement drug (think Viagra for women) and they are going to be marketing it under the name "Addyi" (pronounced Add-ee). If this drug gets as big as viagra or Cialis, the name Addie/ Addison, may be similar to having a boy named "Viagra"...
Just a thought...
I know a bunch of people from m14 who have Addie's or people born around 2014 named that lol.

yeah, it's really crazy that the company is going to be using that name because Addie/Addison has been a very popular name in the past couple of years!

Wow, this is almost as bad as the poor souls named Isis before the name had a negative association.
If you cant agree on the name for a girl why not see if you can make a pretty name from the 2 names that you both like its what a friend of mine did and i dont know anyone who named their child the same ♡

THIS BETTER NOT HAPPEN! We've had Adeline (Addie for short) picked out for seven years! She would be named after my Grammy! I think that this won't be a problem though, because thinking about it "Viagra" to my knowledge was not a name commonly used at all before the drug existed, whereas Addie/Adeline/Addison etc. have been names for quite some time. Still, BOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's happened.
Well I just mean the automatic association of the drug and the name. I'm hoping it will blow over and not be a huge thing because, like I said, Addie has been a name longer than a drug gosh darn it!
Scout is not a girl's name, regardless of To Kill a Mockingbird, which it looks like is where you pulled most of your inspiration; it's just a nickname. I can't imagine an adult woman named Scout.
We really wanted to name a boy Korbin, but my cousin just announced she was having a boy and naming it Corbin Lee . So we are thinking Kieron James for a boy and Kalli Patricia for a girl.
I love one off the pp's name of Cross for a boy, so unique!! (Promise not to steal it
My husband is John William IV and son will have to be John Willian V. DH is refusing any variation of John that doesn't contain the word "John". I already tried for Jack and he was dead set against it.
It's not a battle I'm going to win this time around so full name will be John William, but do we like Johnny as a nickname or is it too corny? I realize he may grow out of it when he gets older, but I mean for now - as a baby/kid.
It's either that or calling him John William. I really don't want two Johns so both people are answering when I call their name.

What about just calling LO by both names? You seem like a pretty formal woman to me so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for you to always call your son John William.
If I absolutely had to choose between them I would go with Harper. You could always use Scout as a nickname. I just couldn't imagine being called "Scout" as an adult.. Or at all actually.
Baby #3 due February. Dx with Spina Bifida Myelo "good things are coming down the road, just don't stop walking"

I don't think it's too corny; I think Johnny is kind of cute, and it kind of sounds like a throwback name in a good way, like maybe he'll be one of those adorable kids that says things like "Awww shucks" and "gee willikers". I'd probably just run with it and decorate the nursery mid century modern. And I agree that it's way better than two Johns in one household. Or would you consider initials, like JW?

I worried it sounded a little country. I'm 100% not formal. I like nice things but sit in front of the tv, eat takeout and watch real housewives most nights. John William belongs in a house with a formal living room no one goes in- haha. That's my husband's family- not mine.

Haha thank you! I like that way of thinking of it
JW falls into the Jay-Dubya trap I think... I considered it... but it reminded me of GDubya and that turned me off. I am def leaning towards Johnny.

@inomniaparatus I have the exact same situation going on with James. If we have a son, he'll be the fourth, and I am cool with that, but I don't even get to choose a nickname! I was feeling Jamie, but H and EVERYONE else whose opinion I care about thinks Jamie is too feminine. I don't care for Jim/Jimmy, because that's my FIL and H. Middle initial doesn't go well with J as an option. I'll probably try just calling him James, even though that feels a little formal for me and everyone else will call him Jimmy.

I definitely feel for you. I actually like James over Jimmy. Most people will call him what their mom calls him... that's why my husband didn't want me calling him Jack.

Sorry- I meant he won't go for Jack as a nickname. I always agreed to John William as the name on his birth certificate. I won't go back on that... but I thought he'd let me give him a nickname. He seemed to be warming up to "Jack" as that nickname until we found out that we really were having a boy. Now, it's a hard "no". He said if I nickname him "Jack" that's how he'll identify and it's important that he thinks of himself as "John," not "Jack." He's open to "Johnny" as a nickname because "John" is in the name.

I've got a grandpa, father, brother, and nephew named Johnnie so it's not terrible, but I prefer Jack too.

-----------quote fail------------ Well I like the thought that he'll mostly be called whatever I call him! Bummer that you can't get your H on board with Jack, I like that for John.
@funkypineapple Yesssssss! I actually probably shouldn't use Jamie, because I am very partial to Claire if we have a girl.
I googled my problem and saw Jay as a suggestion. I kinda like it.
HAHA! Claire is on our list too and it's partially because of my love of all things Outlander.
I like Jay!
My uncles are all named after my grandfather so they all have the first name Juan. Family calls them by their middle names but all their spouses and friends call them each Juan. It's so confusing when everyone is together!

Well that's a pain! 2 Johns is too many in one house without nicknames. Johnny isn't bad- I went to school with a kid that was called Johnny throughout and still is, and it fits him fine. I prefer Jack, but that's just me!

Anytime I hear the name Jamie for a boy, I think of this scene in Love Actually (and I happen to love Uncle Jamie, so for the record, I think it's a cute name).
Maybe I'm just difficult but I'd be pitching a fit over H thinking he'd be determining full name and nn without my input or compromise. There's just no way that would ever happen for me. I don't think that's an equitable way to make decisions in a partnership, period.
