Re: Because I am bored, yo! (Names)
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Margaret Ann or Lucas Peter
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? It didn't really take any compromise. We each vetoed a few of the other person's names, but for the most part we were pretty agreeable about what each person really loved.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? "Ann" is my husband's grandmother's nickname (short for Angela) and also my grandmother's middle name. "Peter" is my grandfather's name and my husband's uncle's name. All of those people have passed away.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? Yea, we've been pretty forthcoming about our names. Luckily no one has made unsolicited comments about them.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: My husband wants to name the baby Optimus Prime. Or use the middle name "The" (anticipating a future Alexander the Great)...
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? No one has suggested anything like this.
1. Do you have a name picked out yet? If not, how far are you in the process? We picked all the names
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Bjorn Phoenix, Nora Avery, Avery Grey
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? We both like a lot of names! It was narrowing down all the names we both like to the names we both like best then picking our favorite combinations of favorite first and middle names.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? No we intentionally avoided all family names. We want LO to have their own name and their own story not tied to anyone else/ our family.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? We're telling them we are all set on names. We will share if they ask, but we are making it pretty clear no input or feedback will be considered.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: No suggestions- people know us
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? Nope. Again, they know us better than that.
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Isla Joan for a girl; boy FN Roman, Logan, Miles, Callum, Harrison, and DH just added Benjamin; boy MN Curtis, David, Spencer, Paul, Lucas/Luke, Anthony
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? Girl name we both love, it was easy; boy name has been many conversations and DH vetoing most of my suggestions
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? Isla is after my godmother (not quite the same name but similar), Joan is my sister's MN. Boy first names we just like, middle names are family names
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? We discuss with other people
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: DH loves Leonidas. Like from the movie 300. It's a pretty badass name but no way we'd ever go for it. No other weird suggestions
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? None of this. If someone asked or brought it up that would automatically take their name out of the running for me.
We had a hard time thinking of boy names but found out last week it's a girl so we had lots we like to choose from.
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
Pretty set on Paige Roseanne
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
Other names we had vetoed and this was the name we both liked best.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Not directly but MIL is called Ana, my grandma is Anita and my sister is Leanne but gets called Annie sometimes so having Anne as part of the middle name is a bit of a tribute to them all.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
We're not discussing the names because we're not announcing baby's sex this time.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Not really any weird names just names that aren't my style at all.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
No-one expects. I'm not really close to my family so it would be a bit strange if they expected my baby to be named after them. All of our male friends joke a lot saying to name the baby after them but I none of them are serious
Yep. Picked out and announced
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Russell Albert
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? Around Christmas time we got a magazine in the mail for a Russell (our last name) we didn't hate the name. Then I was discussing names with E-friends and because of our other boys' names, suggested I looked at the tops names of the 1920's. The first and middle name were on there and it kind of sealed the deal for us.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?" My dad's middle name is Albert.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? We told everyone the name when we announced the sex. No discussion. Several family members have voiced their displeasure but zero fvcks are given. We like it and it goes with our other boys' names nothing else matters.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: We really didn't discuss names with anyone. We've BTDT and it doesn't end up well. I guess we did have some unsolicited suggestions. I wouldn't say they were bad, just not our style.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
Nope.

4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Boy is named after fiances brother who passed when he was 18
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
Nope. I've told my best friend, but thats it.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Fiona
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
Every time i see my best friends mom she says i should name it after her (Elizabeth) half joking, half serious haha
PS. @jlmartinez517 LOVE Harper
Married March 2016
DD: born 7.22.16
DS EDD: 6.23.18
Yes! We've had names picked out for a while!
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
Peter and Josephina
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
We both had name choices that we didn't like.. It took a while to get to a name we each liked, but eventually my husband chose the boy name and I chose the girl and we both agreed!
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Both middle names will be after family. My late father, Wesley, will be our boy's middle name. My middle name, Lee, which has been passed down from my great aunt who passed at a young age, to my mom, and then to be will be our girl's middle name.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
We've told family - that's it!!
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Well my grandmother suggested we name the baby Josephine instead of Josephina ... I just said no haha. (It's not weird).
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
No one suggested any family names - I think they would have suggested the ones I already picked out especially "Lee" since that's been passed down
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Elliott Wayne
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? That was the name both our mothers wanted to name us if I was a boy/if hubby's dad was on board. As both our moms died when we were little it seemed like a super fitting memory and a cool coincidence. We had no other names picked out for a boy.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? Wayne is hubby's middle name and all the men in his family's. It mattered to him.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? Random people we have told but we are not telling our family as they always seem to have the damn opinions. It will be a nice surprise when he is born.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: Nothing...
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? Uh no thankfully!
Yes! We seem to have agreed on the names for now. We'll see if that is still the case after our ultrasound in 2 weeks!
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
Nora Elise/Mia Elise and Luke ______
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
I've been listing my name choices for a while now. My husband goes through the list occasionally and vetoes most of my options. It took a while to get to a name we each liked, but eventually my husband dug his heels in regarding the boy name and went with one of the girl names I had chosen as a compromise.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Both middle names will be after family. My MIL's name is Elizabeth and my mother's name is Elsa (German variant of Elizabeth), so Elise is another variant of Elizabeth. The boy's middle name will be my last name.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
We've told MIL that it would be a variant of her name for the middle name if it's a girl. I don't think we'll reveal the name until the baby is born though. We're not really discussing the names that we've chosen with other people, but have been listening to suggestions if people have any.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Nothing weird so far..but a few people have offered suggestions.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
It's tradition on DH's side of the family to name the first daughter after the father's mother and the first son after the father's father (usually ends up being the middle name). So my MIL wanted to confirm with us that was going to happen..since we haven't particularly followed tradition in other ways in our life. When we said the name wasn't going to be Elizabeth, she was a little upset but came around when we told her that it would be a variant of the name.
I am not part of the cool crowd. We don't have names picked out yet, but we did discuss my list a little bit and he nixed the ones he didn't like.
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
(Team Green) For a girl: Eloise, Clara, Isla, Lucille (Lu or Lux - although my husband hates Lux, which is why he is trying to use Lucille as a middle name). For a boy: Peter (Pete), Hendrik (Hank), Jack
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
No final decision yet. We walked into the hospital to have DD, with almost 20 names, so I will be shocked if this one is easier to name in the end.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Eloise and Clara are aunts. Isla is my husband's great aunt. Lucille is my honorary grandmother. Peter is after two men on my side, and two men on my husband's side. Hendrik (Hank) is my grandma's brother, who never had children and is the sweetest man you would ever meet. I also have three other family members named Hendrik/Hendricks/Hank. Jack was my honorary grandfather. Confused yet? HAHA! All of them are deceased (except Lucille, who has dementia so bad she doesn't know who we are anymore), and my great-uncle Hendrik (Hank), but he lives in Europe, so its not like we would have to worry about calling him "Baby Hank" very often (like maybe twice a year). And there hasn't been anyone with those names in the past few generations.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
Nope. We will announce them after the baby is born. We don't want anyone trying to sway our opinions on a name, and we wont pick something concrete until we see what baby looks like.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Nothing totally crazy. There have been a lot of suggestions (just like when were pregnant with DD), but none of them are our taste.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
My grandma. She is pretty pushy about it too. The part that sucks, is that I actually like her name (Alice), but she isn't someone I would name one of my children after. She is expecting that the baby be named after her, or if it is a boy, have my grandpa's name in there somewhere. I was closer to my grandpa (than to her), but there are already a ton of family members named after him (in every generation, all still living). She will be extremely judgmental if we go with the name of one of my honorary grandparents, but I was actually closer to the two of them, than my maternal and paternal grandparents. Sorry grandma.....
We have a boy name with middle locked down.. still working on a girl name. Although, we have a girl middle decided.
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
Keeping them a secret... even from perfect strangers like you fine ladies.
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
My husband suggested the boy name years ago, as in when we were dating. It took a little time to grow on me, but now I love it. And before finding out I was pregnant, we would always refer to any future children by this name. So it really feels like our name.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Our boy middle name is my husbands middle, William. Strong and classic. Our girl middle name is his grandmothers name, she is truly a saint and I am honored to use it. Her name is Lura. Pronounced "Lou-Ru".
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
Tightlipped for the win.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
"Robot" from our 3 year old nephew.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
Nope, thank god! We are surprising my husband's grandma with the middle name if we end up having a girl.
2. Boys: Grayson Michael and Jacob Guard Girls: Mollie Marie and Georgia Lucille.
3. We just both liked them.
4. Michael is husband's middle name and his dad's middle name. Marie is his mom's middle name and his sister's middle name, Guard is a family surname, and Lucille is my late Grandmother's name.
5. We are not so much discussing as telling people outright.. This is because we have many people pregnant in our family and friends group and want it quite clear what names we have chosen so others don't choose the same and make it awkward.
6. Nothing too weird.. Adam wanted to name a girl Chevelle, after the car and the band.. No.
7. Nah.. I wasn't really that fond of Marie but it is what it is, she's not pushy about it tbough.
we have 2 options for a girl, none for a boy
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
Savannah Cadence/December Cadence
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
We haven't come to one yet, I'm hoping after the A/S that it will be easier once we know the sex.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
if it's a girl, the middle name Cadence after DD#1 who was stillborn
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
We've talked to a couple people but not a lot. We will announce the name as soon as it's finalized.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Jamarcus. Not totally weird but not something I want.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
nope. And if they did, they would be ignored.
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Max Robert
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? We've had the name on the brain for around a year. My husband brought it up one day, and we both just loved it. We thought Max was a pretty kickass name for a boy OR a girl, so if we had a girl she would have been Maxine. But it's a boy, so Max it is. We have a long, difficult last name, so we wanted a short and sweet first name.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? Robert is my husband's middle name, his father's name, and his grandfather's name.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? We tell anyone who asks. I do make it clear that the name is already final so people don't feel invited to give opinions.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: Someone suggested Eugene yesterday. That was a little weird, especially to go with our U last name.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? No. If it was a girl, we probably wouldn't given her my sister's name for a middle name, but she would never have expected it.
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Barbara Louise / Everett David
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? It was pretty easy to agree. My husband had way more opinions about my second tier girls' names (in case of twin girls), so if we end up with two daughters we'll have some compromising to do.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
Barbara was both of our grandmother's name, and I was really close with my grandma so the name is special. Louise, Everett, and David are all family names on both of our sides of the family.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? Yeah. I thought we'd be secretive but I've been wide open since the first person who asked.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: When we announced the pregnancy my MIL made a crack about how even if we named it Gertrude she'd deal with that. I've been making a lot of Gertie jokes.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? My Grammy has suggested basically every name on her side of the family. David is her son's name, so I hope that if it's a boy she'll be happy about that.
Married March 2016
DD: born 7.22.16
DS EDD: 6.23.18
1. Do you have a name picked out yet? If not, how far are you in the process?
Yes
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
Stella Audrine
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
We always knew if we had another girl, her name would be Stella. We just thought we never would because DD1 is 12 and DS is 8. Surprise! We were going to use Avery as a middle name but DH suggested Audrine one afternoon and I fell in love. It's also a nod to his French heritage.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
My maternal grandmother who passed away when I was 10.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
Nope. I don't care to hear any opinions.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
I don't think we've had any suggestions.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
I think MIL was hinting around about it to DH, asking if it will be another family name (DS is Tate, which is MILs maiden name).
But when I was pregnant with Tate, my dad tried to jokingly suggest his name but he was serious. My dad and I have a rocky relationship. His name would never happen.
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
girl: Hayley boy: Kian or Brody
3. How did you come to the final decision?
we were going back and forth on girl names and then someone we know named their daughter the other... problem solved! for boy names we wanted something unique but not weird.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
boy: no one girl: a character on a show we like is named Hayley... we said it aloud to each other a few times and it stuck
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tight-lipped until baby is earth side?
we are only telling people our final decisions (find out gender tomorrow! Thinking it's a girl)
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
Mom suggested Molly - story: she tried to name me and my sister Molly, both husbands vetoed and so do we! MIL less seriously suggested Vincenzo (Vinny) - She wanted to name DH that and FIL vetoed. side note: no one in his family is Italian and I'm like 1/16 so not enough to embrace it plus we have an Irish last name which greatly conflicts.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
My grandma, mom, and cousin all have the middle name Lynn. We told grandma that we were using a unique middle name (Aveline) and she was baffled as to why we wouldn't use Lynn. - Background: Great Grandmas middle name was Josephine, I love the sound of it but I can't get over the "Joseph" part, Aveline is close and just as lovely sounding!
2. Regan Mary-Agnes for a girl and Duncan Arthur for a boy. Fiona is a back up girls name if we change our mind on Regan
3. We have done a lot of name bantering while ttc so it was pretty easy, we already knew each other's no way names.
4. Middle names are after grandparents for each of us. Duncan is my grandpa's surname
5. I've told my mom and a few friends. Probably be more open when we know the sex.
6. My Scottish grandma has moments she thinks this is a royal pregnancy and chooses names of British royalty for us.
7. One of my closest friends has decided his name, Patrick, is the perfect choice for either sex
Yes, on a boy's name and we are 90% sure on a girl's. (Team green)
We don't tell anyone. Many people who know me could figure out who I am if they happened across the bump. Sorry, I'm paranoid!
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
I made suggestions until my husband heard something he liked and just said "okay." I care a lot more than him. Haha.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
No, but our older daughter does have a middle name from my grandmother who passed away before I was born. It is my middle name and more a way to honor my mom.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
We tell nobody. I know someone will tell me why they don't like our name thinking they are being helpful or whatever and I would rather not hear it because I will remember it and it would bug me.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
N/A
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
Haha, no! That would be so uncomfortable.
2. We love Levi and Adam if it's a boy, Alexa (Lexie) and Emmalyn if it's a girl.
3. We have had our boy names picked since we were engaged, the girl names are newer. I love Lexie, and DH picked Emmalyn. We both loved the name Emma, but there are so many now and we wanted names you don't hear too often.
4. Middle names are all going to be from the grandparents. I also really want our first son to have his middle name be Timothy after DH since I love his name!
5. We aren't telling anyone! We don't want any unsolicited advice or comments-once baby is named, it's less likely they'll say anything since he/she is "stuck" with it. We also want to see baby before settling on anything. But I don't mind sharing with you ladies
6. No really weird ones, but I'm sick of people (mainly my SIL and FIL) giving us name suggestions. FIL wants just a "basic" name, while SIL has all kinds of weird names that I'm pretty sure she makes up. I can't even remember any of them.
7. Nobody has said anything outright to us about it, but I'm pretty sure my dad might be a bit hurt if we didn't use his name for a middle name, since both my brothers are named after both my grandfathers..but I may be way off on that.
We haven't settled on names yet but we have some ideas.
2. Name/Names you have picked out?
We have several...
I've always loved Milo because The Phantom Tollbooth was my favorite book growing up. But we also have Elliott in the running. Margot is one of our top girl names, but we've also thought about Fiona, Shoshanna, Susanna, Dinah, Billie. Billie is my favorite but unfortunately it sounds too weird with our last name.
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise?
No final decisions. We have pretty similar taste which has been good for coming up with ideas but terrible for eliminating anything.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
No, I considered using my older sisters names as a middle name (she passed away a few years ago) but I decided against it.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side?
We haven't talked about it much with people because I don't really like suggestions from friends and family. I don't know why, I just want this to be something that my husband and I decide together.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any:
All of out friends are weird so there have been some gems, none serious though. Today's best one was Maxwell Demon (velvet goldmine is my new baby aesthetic)
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child?
My mom suggested her own name and her own middle name. She wasn't seriously trying to convince me.
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Aurora (Rory) Sterling Hart for a girl or Aiden Brave Hart for a boy
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? We both liked the names.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? Nope, don't like naming after people.

2. Name/Names you have picked out? Ryan James
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? Took a lot of compromise. I have always loved Ryan. James is my favorite book in the Bible and my grandfather's name. DH just likes to be a pain and argue.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? We didn't name after anyone...mainly because the men in our family have terrible names! LOL! I know that's awful but it's the truth.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? I'm an open book. We have told everybody and did ask family's opinion on many names.
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: My grandma and I are very close and she suggested Justice for DS. Hmm.
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? No way! Thank goodness, I'd have to smack somebody, haha.
2. Name/Names you have picked out? Boy: Wyatt Leon; Girl: Zoe Grace
3. How did you come to the final decision? Was it a name that you both liked? Did it take some compromise? It took a little compromise, particularly because if it's a boy, I want to include either part of one of my grandfather's names.
4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after? If it's a boy, Leon will be after my mother's father, whom I was very close with.
5. Are you discussing names on your list with other people? Or are you staying tightlipped until baby is earth side? We're letting people know what the names are, but we're not technically discussing them. It's not really up for discussion and input from others, as the way I see it, only the ones who were in the room when the baby was made have any say in the name (the main one we've had problems out of has been MIL who says "but Wyatt is hard for me to say (pronounce)". Sucks to be her if it's a boy... that's going to be his name.)
6. Weirdest name someone has suggested, if any: Haven't had any weird suggestions yet
7. Any family members expecting baby to be named after them, and being blunt about it? If so, spill......who thinks so highly of themselves, that they feel YOU should feel honored to use their name for your child? Not yet.

4. If your child is going to be named after someone, who are they going to be named after?
