All About that Name Thread

Re: All About that Name Thread

  • Figured it was time to start the name thread…

  • Yes! I love these! 

    Girl Name will 99% either be Wren Violet or Josie Wren. Just because we (I) love them so much. 

    Boy name list is Colby Nicholas, Cole Avery, or Grady Cole- but I don't *LOVE* any of them. The kids really like Cole Avery. 

    My other kids' names are
    Alexis Erin (16)
    Logan Orman (14)  
    Gunnar Lee (12)
    Carson David (8)
    Milo Grey (1)

  • I LOVE all these! 

    @ninrms ditto feeling secret with our names, partially because it's not 100% yet but partially because we have an agreement "not to waste a perfectly good name" (MH's words) if for some reason we have a loss before we reach viability. I was so grateful we found out we were having a girl because we had that name down before we ever got pregnant! We agreed that the middle name will be after my paternal grandmother; she's my closest family member and is very special to me. 

    Our name criteria (read: MH's name criteria) were/are extensive: has to be "plain English", old fashioned/classic, not biblical, not a variation (can't be misspelled easily, ie Lawrence vs Laurence, etc), has to have Spanish and Italian equivalents (we have a plan to move to Spain after getting Italian dual citizenship, and MH wants to teach baby Spanish), and has to have common/"cool" nicknames in Spanish and Italian.
  • @livingoffpbjs lol that’s definitely where we heard it! We’ve been big Supernatural fans over the years. 🤓 Naming kids is so hard! For real. It took us forever to pick a name last time. 
  • @brittany_f hahaha I have had a crush on Jensen for 24 years, back in the Days of Our Lives days. It would probably be one of my boy names but Im hoping for another girl.

  • @livingoffpbjs he’s a gooood looking man. 😂 I’m hoping for girls again too! Husband of course wants a boy, but I’m like we have all the stuff for a girl. Just seems like a hassle to get clothing all over again. 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • @brittany_f hahaha my thoughts exactly! and I already know how to navigate a little girl. It just seems easier.

  • @babyodo We have a boy name picked out that we're recycling from DS2, so fingers crossed if baby is a boy, he looks like that name lol. We literally just keep recycling boy names. Girl names we don't agree on at all. DH has no suggestions for names, but he has shot down Charlotte, Dakota, and Isabella.  His reasoning for shooting down Charlotte and Isabella was everyone will shorten her name in various ways, and he knows that irritates me. It's true, but I liked them lol.
  • @babyodo one of my best friends is named Roisin :) whenever there's an issue with pronunciation she just either goes by her middle name or the english version, Rose.
  • @babyodo is he super Irish? Those are a mouthful.
  • @babyodo yeah those are all very Irish names. Erin is a great Irish name though too. Maybe you can look down the Irish baby name list and find some you both like?
  • I just love seeing all the names! I have no idea yet and my husband will probably do the same as last time, waited until close to the end to decide. But looking for boy name inspiration! The only thing I know is we will use James as the middle name.
  • @alylove11 my name was supposed to be Briar Rose (like sleeping beauty) but my dad vetoed it!

    love Emme and Isla. 
  • @alylove11 Emme and Isla are beautiful names!! So fun!
  • So my names were set. 

    But my 11yo hates my boy name (why?) and my 4yo hates my girl name 😩

    I have told them ultimately their opinion doesn’t matter, but it has eaten at me. 

    I’m putting Cai on the table for a boy and Emlyn (double dipping for us 😱) back on our list. 

    We’re usually set on names pretty early. But we haven’t found out the gender as of yet… so I think I’m okay with the uncertainty right now lol
  • @angelz429 That would be really hard with the kids not liking your names. Maybe it’ll be better once they meet the baby and have a face with name? I like both of those names! We are also name double dippers. If we have another boy, he will be named the alternate of the alternate lol. This is our first time being team green, so it’s weird not knowing what we’re having until delivery. 
  • @photographerwife I was surprised he picked a good name lol. He usually just makes up random names that make zero sense. 
  • @kaf1788 Haha, those are solid cat names. That is usually how things are named in our house, too. He’s just adamant that’s her name. All DH said was it’s better than anything he’s come up with so far. So we’ll see. We’re leaning pretty hard for it to be a middle name. We’ve been struggling with girl names. 
  • My friend’s daughter was 5 when she was pregnant with her second and she named their baby Kate and it stuck. 

    If I gave Brielle naming rights to this baby, she wants Cole for a boy (our number 1 name, but the one Draken doesn’t like) and Cece for a girl. And although I think Cece is a cute nickname, I don’t love any of the “full names” that go with it. 

    My girl name was set, but now it’s grown to a list of 6 names 😩

    maybe I’ll just wait until we meet the baby to name them. We’ve never done that lol. 

    Still solidly team green here…. But my resolve is dying when I see super cute hospital swaddle blankets that I want to buy all of them lol
  • @angelz429 I feel you on the team green pain. This is our first, and only, attempt at it, and also I keep seeing cute swaddles with matching bows. I’ve never had a girl, and I love all the bows lol. I told DH not to let me cave at our 20 week ultrasound. He’s pretty indifferent, so I think he’ll hold me to it. 
  • @angelz429 my daughter has been calling her baby sister Cece which I think is cute but also not loving the full names for it, Cecilia sounds old or stuck up and Sierra sounds like a stripper lol

  • I think Celeste would be a cute name to go with Cece. But that’s my SIL’s name lol
  • Any one else finding that their list(s) from a previous pregnancy are being completely thrown out now? That’s us right now and I’m finding it so frustrating. We had quite a few boy names lined up last time and now none of them feel/sound right. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Even harder having to now pick two names for a set of twin boys! 

    So far the ones we haven’t completely turned down are: 

    Nolan 
    Maddox 
    Bryce 

    Middle names are completely up in the air so recommendations are welcome! DD’s middle name begins with an A (Aurelia) so my sister suggested all A’s which may be fun. But again nothing has stuck yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
  • @brittany_f I can barely come up with one boy name, let alone two! I like the names you have so far! Are there any family names for middle names? My family has a ton of "J" names and my mom regrets that because she mixes them all up :D DH and I were thinking of a J name and then we went to a family function and immediately ruled it out because there were too many in the family.
  • @brittany_f absolutely! The only boy name that we didn’t totally throw out is Miles, and I’m not sold on it either. 😂 at this rate I’ll be lucky if we have a name by birth.
