@jaclyn0405 That’s cool that’s where the name came from. We still don’t know and obviously minds change but my in laws are giving us a hard time about names already. that’s the only reason I thought about changing the spelling a little is then they might not hate it as much. Not that I really care too much what they think as the name isn’t up to them and it’s completely wild or made up. But November is still a long time away!
If we have a girl, Violet Eliza will be her name- that will be easy.
But if it’s a boy I have no idea. The only two names we agree on are Silas and Felix and I’m not sure about either. We have nothing at all for a boys middle name. I want a boy, we already have a 4 yr old daughter, but the naming will be a challenge! I don’t like anything trendy, but also nothing too common. He nixed a lot that I do like. It’s hard, ugh.
Ugh I’m loving Kennedy for a girl. SO doesn’t love it. It’s special to me because my grandpa is Ken, and he raised me and is very special to me. My 2nd daughter was supposed to be to honor him but back then I couldn’t think of anything other than Kendra and I hated that.
SO likes Isabella (which I don’t like) and Sadie (which I really don’t like) 😂 so we’re still #TheBabyWithNoName
@Ecat504 I swear I spend my days on baby name tinder trying to figure out her name. Fourth girl name is ...Quattro? So far we’ve gone through Sloan, Quinn, Evelyn, Vivienne, and I think Paige. I LOVE Paige but it means something like servant to a lord. SO likes Paige but we’re tripped up on the meaning. We don’t want any M names (already have two), we’d prefer 1-2 syllables as #2 has a short name and #1 and 3 are long. So....name name?
@Ecat504 my DD is Daisy Lane, her middle name being after my Granny who was my absolute best friend. Her maiden name was Lane. 🥰 Does he have a middle name or a nickname you could spin off of? Also, my DD would LOVE the name Elsa! She also wanted to name this baby Moana Miss Katelyn...after the princess and her teacher. 😂 I love the littles suggestions!
@name1109 My #1 pick for a girl's name was Sloane Paisley. I also love Paige. Some other names I like for girls are: Harper, Jade, Ruby, Violette, Elle (or Eloise), Eve, and Sadie.
@name1109 DD name is Eleanor Paige. Paige was my best friend that passed away right before I got pregnant, so I’ve always kinda of thought she had a hand in giving us our perfect LO. Eleanor as in Eleanor Woods.. Legally Blonde. I planned to called her Elle, but her current nickname is stinky or Nors 🤦🏼♀️.
I like all of your girl names though!
Where are the perfect boy names, that aren’t overly used or someone I know hasn’t used??
@potofgolden I'm right there with you on the boy names. We used up the good family names with DS (even though I don't love the combo I like the family meanings) James Charles. DH likes Joshua and Michael - I don't I like Kellon (hard no from DH), Gabriel, Samuel and Jude (doesn't flow well with our last name). I came across Caspian on a baby name list, it's a lot different from our "style" but I like it, DH shot it down.
So we're looking to settle with Gabriel or Samuel unless something else comes up, or we have a girl.
@Ecat504 I love names that honor family. We will be using Kennedy as a middle name for either boy or girl to honor MHs Father as that is his last name (hubby wasn’t raised by him so he doesn’t have the same last name).
We found out we are having a boy and I agree that boy names are hard to choose! Middle name is going to be Douglas (family tradition for middle name to be the father's name). As for the first name, we both like the names Raymond and Isaiah. Right now we like the name Raymond more, but not sure how a couple people from my family will feel about it. I had two great uncles named Raymond, and while we wouldn't really be naming our son after them, one of my uncles got into some disagreements with my mom years ago. I guess it's kind of complicated, so will need to figure out if it's worth completely forgetting about the name. So I'm wondering if anyone has advice on this?
@warmwinter my thought has always been, this is your baby and you should choose the name that you love. After the baby is born, any name associations fly out the window, because that name becomes associated with your wonderful little LO. 💜
So my husband has agreed that I get to name this one he names DD , (Lydia Rae) . He came home one day and announced “ I told me mom what we are naming her “ to which I replied “oh yeah , and what’s that lol” then with the twins his mom passed away unexpectedly 2 days prior to their birth. Her name was Patricia so the first twin out was now “ Patrick” ( identical boys ) and the only other name on our list that sounded good with Patrick was Maverick . Both boys middle names are after my husband middle name Patrick Clyde and my grandfather Maverick Clarence ( neither won the lottery there lol )
with new baby my husband wanted to name this one if it’s a girl the middle name Jane because his mom, sister and niece all have Jane as their middle BUT I would feel like an ass if the only kid who wasn’t named after someone was our first .. So I don’t think I’m going to go for that .
my picks are Quinn for a girl ( not sure on middle nothing sounds good) and Sawyer for a boy
I love Quinn for a girl, SO hates it because his roommate his freshman year of college was Quin and they hated each other lol. So he nixed it....
Madeline and Kathryn are on the top of our list. But we don't ***LOVE*** either of them. But it's the only thing we both don't hate. I'm so over naming this kid.
@Ecat504 If we have a girl her middle name will be Kathryn (spelled this specific way) after my grandmother. I might be biased but I love it and as a first name you could use Kit as a nickname instead of Katie!
@ecolton01 I like both Quinn and Sawyer. When I thought of Quinn the first thing that popped into my head was Quinn Marie. No idea why 😆 but I'm curious if my cousin's daughter's middle name is Marie as she's the only Quinn I know. Also, my brother and SIL have 1 child out of 5 that isn't named after a family member or close friend for first or middle name. They just picked two names they really liked.
So I should hopefully find out sexes for the twins on Friday during the AS. But I've already been thinking of them in my head as Oliver and Vivian 😆. Don't know if DH is on board for the names or even if they are a boy and girl. Before I even found out it was twins I had a random thought, "what if it's twins" and then after I found out all dreams about them have been a boy and girl. My older two are Livia and Everett so I tried to think of three syllable names with a V and came up with Oliver and Vivian. But I either want to continue the V in the names or just do names that sound good together for the twins. Connor was our other top name for boys when we had Everett. We actually went to the hospital being between Connor and Everett. I still like Connor.
OMG @acdc1109 you just put that back on the table for me. I nixed it because SDs MN is "Kate" and i love it, but thought they were to similar. But I never thought of calling her "Kit", I love it! Will proposition SO tonight
@Ecat504 glad I could help! Kit was actually my grandma's nickname when she was younger, although I think some of her friends still call her that.
I'm so excited! We've finally narrowed our list down to 3 boy names (we already have a girl name from DS1 and DS2) but we aren't sure what 2 name combo we'll use. They are: David, James, and Thomas. We have a super long Italian last name so short (ish) names are important.
So I keep thinking of this little guy as Connor Edward. DH is on board with the middle name (it's after his grandfather) but we haven't actually had a real conversation about Connor.
My only hesitation is that one of my best friends from college has a 5 year old named Conor. We have a group text and we chat on that constantly, but the kids only ever get together a couple of times a year. Is it weird to use the name?
@crizz13 I guess it depends how close you and the friend are. I have a group chat with friends from college who I only see once or twice every year or two. I wouldn't hesitate to use one of their names if WE COULD EVER HAVE A BOY (they all have boys lol). But, we have close friends who we see a few times a month, and although the kids don't get together super often I wouldn't use their names even though there are a few that I really love.
Also annoyed about the top names are being withheld.
I am LOVING all the names!!!!! I love Kit as a nickname @Ecat504. I hope the discussion went well with your SO. @kelk5 I so wanted Vivienne/Vivian but we’ve decided baby last will be 2 syllables as 2 kids have three syllables and 1 has 2. A bit nerdy but we don’t want our Zoey to feel like she’s not included (Margaret and Madeline are also M’s so no M names).
We have sadly struck Paige 😭😭😭 due to the meaning.
I’m onto Eva or Ava? Both can be pronounced the same. Ava is popular so I’m hoping to get DH onboard for Eva. Zoey means life as does Eva (or Ava for that matter). I kind of like that symmetry. Haha. I’m such a nerd.
We just found out like an hour ago, we’re having a boy! I’m in complete shock haha I have two daughters and just never thought I would have a boy. I was 100% sure the baby was a girl!! So dad is from Morocco and wanted a Arabic name. I’m from Canada and wanted to rep my other love Drake! Baby will be Zayd Aubrey
@potofgolden My niece is Camryn Beverly! We always called her Cam or Camryn, but now that she is a teen she wants to go by Bev. Super cute and it grows well!
Re: Baby Names
so we may take our littlest ones suggestion and name her Elsa.
