Naming subsequent children

AZ_Erica · June 2009

So I was just reading some name posts and thinking that we used our "good" names on our 1st boy and girl and if we have any more kids the names won't be our favorite. We exhausted the boys and girls name lists and I feel like if we have any other kids either DH or myself will have to settle on a name. Anyone else feel like this or does everyone else have mulitiple names they love?

The names I considered with Noah were no longer names I liked when I was pg with #2. We had new boy and girl names. So I guess, no. We are done having kids though.

I felt like that with girl names after DD #1 was born. Now we're having DD #2 and we finally agreed on another name I LOVE. That said... we are royally screwed if we ever get pg w/DD #3!!!

I love a lot of names that mh absolutely hates...so it's the agreeing on anything that proves to be our issue. I do feel one of us will have to settle next time.

I'm weird in that most of my favorite names sound really similar to one another. I love Mia. But a Malia and Mia might be just a touch too close.

Naming #2 was hard for us, took 32 weeks to come up with a name we agreed on. I didn't like the leftover name from #1. Now I don't like the leftover name from #2, so if there's a 3rd, we'll be in the same boat again.

Our second boy was easy. And I already have another boy name that I love. But, if this is a girl...we've never decided on a girl name that we love.

I did use our leftover name for our second, but I loved it still.

If I have another girl, she'll have to go by Baby or something. It's not that there aren't girl names I like, just that they won't go with our impossible last name. I could name a boy 20 times over though!
