Kind of like @PYLWhammy my partner named our daughter so I’m up to bat this time. He named her after his mother, and my mother passed away this year so I’m thinking if it’s a girl I may name her after my mother - Laurie. idk 🤷♀️
This is baby number four for me and we have a few criteria for our names. They have to be four letters and we incorporate family names in there somewhere. My oldest daughter is named Nola after my great grandma, so we might use Anna if this one is a girl. I also love Wren, Emme, Ruby, Lila. I’ve got nothing for a boy so far.
My three year old son is determined to name the baby Godzilla.
I’m kind of a name nerd, in the sense I always keep a running list of names despite being done having children. We had names settled, but then DS1 kind of threw a wrench in it and asked us to consider a gender neutral name and those are proving harder to agree upon.
For girls our top choices were Georgia, Naomi, and Norah.
For boys our top choices were Callum, Bennett, and Benjamin.
I know that I'm having a second girl (IVF) and am pretty set on the first name (Elise). I'm thinking Rose or Grace for the middle name, but still mostly undecided.

I love the name Elise. It's such a beautiful name. That's on our girl list. We've had a list of names since we were pregnant with our first. We don't pick names for sure until baby is here and we'll likely be team green again (we found out with DS1 before birth and waited with DS2).

I’m a total planner and had names set as soon as I knew I was pregnant! If it is a girl it will be Evelyn Grace (Evie for short) and if it is a boy it will be Kane Alexander. This is our third child and already have a DD Gabrielle Rose (Gabby) and DS Dean Ryder
@mbradfo2 those are my favorite middle names! We will use Grace this time if a girl and we already have a Rose can’t go wrong with either!
I know I’m having a girl too! (IVF as well) and I’m stuck on the name Isla. DH doesn’t like it but I really don’t like any other name. So we will see!!

@srprins1987 love your girl name! Evelyn Grace sounds so lovely!!!
We have been thinking boy names lately even though we were totally set on using the name Ezra if we had a boy last time. Now we're undecided. A girl might be named Eleanor but again, not decided. We have lots of time to think about it thankfully😊

I LOVE Ezra. My husband is not picky but he vetoed Ezra with our first. I never even put it back on the list. Maybe I’ll sneak it back on there and he won’t still hate it 😂

Naming babies gives me anxiety! I always stress over it my whole pregnancy. DH and I didn’t agree on a name for our first two until the day DD2 was born and a day after DD1 was born.
We are team green (for now at least), but either way the first name will be Sloan. If it’s a boy middle name will be Joshua (after DH) and if it’s a girl we like Vivienne or Celine for the middle name. I have a boy, Cohen William and a girl, Sutton Mae.
