I think we've decided on names!!!

Since we are Team Greeners we needed to pick one of each - and it's taken us up until now to find a name we agree on! 

For a girl we love Mila. We think we will do Mila Ruth. DH's grandmother (who helped to raise him) was Mildred, and why we don't like that we thought the "M-i-l" kind of reflected her. And the baby is a scheduled c/s on my grandmother Ruth's birthday. So it seems fitting.

For a boy we like Nolan. We are deciding between Nolan Christopher and Nolan Samuel (Samuel after my grandfather). All of our grandparents are deceased so we really want to honor them somehow.

Our DS's name is Brian Scott.

What do you think of the names? Of the flow with DS's name? Any preferences/ideas?

    I like how so many people honor their family members :)  I like your choices, and I think they go well with your son's name.  I think I like Nolan Christopher a bit better than Nolan Samuel, but after reading that Samuel is for your grandfather, I'd probably go with that one.

    I like both names! I am not sure Mila goes well with Brian- Mila seems a bit more trendier than Brian. I think Nolan goes well with Brian, and I vote for middle name of Samuel. It seems to flow a little bit better IMO.

    I love Nolan obviously (see siggy) and my husband's name is Brian =). I think both of your boy names flow but I think I prefer Nolan Christopher.

    Mila is pretty, very short and sweet.

    Mila Ruth is beautiful--love the significance, too. I think Nolan Christopher has a smoother flow, but either mn works.

    Mila Ruth is beautiful!

    I think you narrowed it down to two great mn names for Nolan. Hmmm, Nolan Christopher gets my vote this time.

    LOVE Mila, and I think it goes just fine with Brian.

    I like middle names with meaning, so that might edge me to preferring Nolan Samuel.

    Both are very nice.

    I suggest Nolan Samuel over Nolan Christopher, since Christopher Nolan is a noteworthy filmmaker right now (The Dark Knight, Inception, Memento).
