We are team green and are planning to take our name list to the hospital and name the baby once we see him/her. I posted a few days ago needing a MN for Jacob b/c DH really liked the name. Well, we didn't agree on any but were able to agree on a few other names. The list may change before December but here it is so far. Please tell me your opinions. TIA!
Jack Henry Mary Josephine
Benjamin James Ava Catherine
Jude Michael Lauren Elizabeth
Re: Can't believe we agree! WDYT?
These are all lovely names!
Just a note (which has been discussed here before): Benjamin James (a name I wanted for our future son) gives BJ initials. DH didn't like that and I guess it is something to consider.

Jude Michael is my favorite of your boy names. I like Ava Catherine from your girl list, but Josephine would be my choice for a first name.

love love love Jude
love love love Lauren Elizabeth
all of them are nice choices
I like Jude Michael and Ava Catherine.
The rest are nice, but I could take 'em or leave 'em.
Mary Josephine - LOVE
and I really like the rest of your names too! Great choices!
Really, you can't go wrong with any of your names- they are all fantastic!
My personal picks would be Jude Michael and Mary Josephine (although Lauren Elizabeth is a very, very close second). Good luck!
Of your names I love the boys names,esp Jude and Benjamin. I am a little tired of Jack due to the Jack/Jackson craze, and I've always felt like Jack made a better nn than full name.
I think your girl names are just lovely but Mary Josephine is by far the shining star! What a refreshing name we don't hear often and a beautiful fn/mn combo. I think Ava is too popular for my taste and Lauren is lovely but has never had that "spark" for me.
They are all great names. My preference is for Benjamin James and Lauren Elizabeth.
Boys- tough call! I like Jack, but prefer it as a nn to John. I LOVE Benjamin James and Jude Michael- great choices!
Girls- Mary Josephine would be reduced to Mary Jo where I come from and that is just a little too much for me. Sorry. I love Ava Catherine (despite its popularity) Ava Katherine is our front-runner for a girl. There is nothing wrong with Lauren Elizabeth, I just don't care for it. They are both classic, feminine names, and would be a fine choice, but I can't make myself like it.
I love, love Jude-- would have been this baby's name if she had been a boy, and will probably be our future boy's name, if we have one.
For girls, I would say Ava, but it's just become too popular. It's lost the mystique that lent it its original appeal. And I've known so many Laurens over the years, so that name seems dull to me. I like Mary Josephine-- very nice name, although is the Mary-Joseph thing intentional?
Not really intentional, we are Catholic and Josephine is the name of a very dear family friend who happens to be a nun, Sister Josephine. I just felt Mary Josephine went together better.
