What's in a name?

eahayes

@mrsdrez I've always loved Chloe.. I feel like it fits any sort of person they may grow into! 

eahayes

@middleschoolmommy @offtoneverland @firsttimespartanmom @lifesabeach85 Totally agree on the nicknames! I actually LOVE Ben which is why Bennett strikes me as such a good one.. I like Nathan more than Nathaniel so he will prob go by that pretty quickly. Such fun choices to make

Starting to feel like we will never agree on a name. DSD is Nova JoAnn and DS is Maddox Byron Jay. We are team green so trying to come up with names for both genders. 

For a boy I like: Wilder or Maverick.

For a girl I like: Madeleine (nickname Mae) or Noelle. 

Also need to come up with some J middle names. Thinking Jared for a boy its my brothers name, but idk.

Thoughts? Opinions? Last Name starts with a B and is one syllable if that helps.

I think we finally decided on the name Natalie for this baby. And DD actually likes the name, the only one she's liked so far! We won't officially decide until she's born, but it'll probably be Natalie. 
My sister and mom's middle name is Rene, so I'm considering that for her middle name. Still trying to think about it though.

@msb11182018 I love Maverick and Madeleine! Those are great.

So, we are thinking maybe Matthew Ronan, what do y'all think?

@msb11182018 I’m totally loving Wilder. Such a cool name. 

@offtoneverland love Natalie! So pretty

@wildrainbow love Matthew, I’m partial as it’s MHs name lol. I love Ronan, that’s unique and adds a special note with Matthew.

So hubby and I really like Raelynn. My middle name is Lynn and so is my Moms. Only problem is, my exs new wifes middle name is Rae. (I used to be friends with her and not a fan of her now.) I'm afraid if we do go with Raelynn I'll think of exs new wife constantly, or it'll completely pass once baby gets here. Yay or nay?

@rpreston17, that's a tough one.  DH suggested a name (before we found out we were having a boy) that was my ex-MILs middle name...I'm not a fan of hers at all.  I wouldn't have wanted my daughter to have a name that would make me think of someone I didn't like...but that's just me.  I do like Raelynn though, super cute...if that helps at all lol

@rpreston17 - I like Raelynn but also wouldnt want to use the name of someone I didn't like. You could always look at different names with Lynn in it. I know a Charlynn, Jaelynn, or even a Honeylynn and all are wonderful people.

@rpreston17 as the others have said, I wouldn't do it. I'm sure eventually you wouldn't think of your ex friend but do you want to have to work at fixing a negative connotation with your baby's name? I don't think it's worth it personally.

We cannot decide on a middle name. Our last name is two syllables and starts with K. 

Girl name: Isabel 
boy name: max

We like Isabel Mae but for some reason I’m not 100% sure about it. I feel like it needs a one syllable middle name but can’t think of anything.

for boys, we had settled on Max James until DH said he thinks it’s too short. Max Benjamin, Max William, Max Thomas, Max Gabriel were other ideas.

i can’t decide! 

lifesabeach85

@firsttimespartanmom Anne, Jane, Eve, Leigh are some one syllable girls names 

kamahina9

@firsttimespartanmom - what about Isabelle Rose? I think that sounds like a pretty option. 
For a boy....I like Max William. Originally I was thinking Max Oliver but that's almost as short as Max James.

the-lo

We've chosen Adrien Isaac. We both love it - when we thought he was a girl, we were already settled on Adriene, so it made sense to keep our little Adrien once we confirmed he was a boy.

kamahina9

We are thinking Kaden Jace, Kaden Kawika or Kaden Kekoa. We are struggling coming to a final decision. What do you all think? Any ideas or criticism is welcome

wildrainbow

@kamahina9 I really like Kaden Jace. 

bkosy

@kamahina9 I second Kaden Jace!

firsttimespartanmom

@kamahina9 +1 to Kaden Jace

lifesabeach85

@kamahina9 I like Kekoa

offtoneverland

@kamahina9 I like Kekoa too. It sounds like such a fun idea to use a Hawaiian name! 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@kamahina9 so initially I was gonna say Jace, but then I remembered DUH Hawaii I also like Kekoa... So long as your last name doesn't start with a K. If it does than personally I'd stay away from the triple K initials. But if it does and your cool with it, than +1 for Kekoa either way. 

kamahina9

Thanks everyone! Our last name starts with a S we were thinking it would give us a couple extra nickname options with the middle name Kekoa... Koa or KK. We like both options though, that's why its tough. 

eahayes

I like Koa as a nickname Super cute!

mrsdrez

@kamahina9 +1 for Kekoa, but I see your dilemma.. they all sound nice!
