Baby Name Input

mrsb8244

Hello everyone! I love reading the honest opinions here and was hoping to get some input on the names I have so far. DH doesn't want to get serious about names until we know if baby is a boy or girl but I have been thinking since before our BFP. Our last name starts with B and is 2 syllables (9 letters).

Girl names (MN- Jayne after my younger sister):
Aubrey
Lillian
Laila (unsure on spelling--"lay-la")

Boy names:
Jackson Evan
Evan James
Andrew James

For girls I really like Laila. I always spell it Layla but either way I think it's very pretty. Aubrey is NMS and I don't like Lillian especially since Lily as a nn has become so popular that any name with that nn possibility I stay away from.


For boys, I like Andrew the best. I would say Jackson but it has been popular with a nn Jax, etc. I always liked Andrew. Evan is not a bad name, just nms.

For girls I LOVE Aubrey Jayne.
I like Evan James a lot. Followed by Jackson then Andrew.
I think you'll find it fun to set up 2 polls. One for girl, one for boy.

Thank you @satuttle1014 I love Layla spelling over Laila! I should add Evan is DH's middle name and that's where it came from. I never thought about the fact that Lily is so popular so that's a great point!

ETA: a poll is a good idea!!

I'm a little biased since I have a Lillian, but I like Layla over Laila, but with Jayne, the double y seems like a lot.

I also love Evan James.
