I'm antsy.

Boy: Talon Jade or Lincoln Jade. Jade is FI's name.

Girl: Cora Grace Elizabeth, Lillian Jade Elizabeth or Elliana May Elizabeth (Ellie for short).

FI likes Lillian the most. I like Cora. I like Lincoln the most, he likes Talon.

Lincoln or Cora (although Lillian is just a lovely name, but there are so many Lily's running around).

I really dislike Talon, I immediately think of a giant claw of a bird of prey. So Lincoln gets my vote.

Cora is a nice name, and my favorite of your girl choice.

Lillian is pretty, but very, very popular.

Elliana is nice, but I am over all of the little Ellies running around.

Strongly dislike Talon. All I think of is a giant bird claw- this is just not at all a name to me. Lincoln is just okay for me. I see that Jade is your FI's name, but it is a very feminine name to me. I like it better as a middle name for one of your girl names. I prefer Cora to Lillian (although both are pretty) because Lily/Lillian is really popular right now.

I don't like Talon or Lincoln. I guess I would go with Lincoln if I had to pick. Jade sounds totally feminine to me, sorry.

I like Cora and Lillian, but Lily is so common that I would lean toward Cora. Are you set on the double middle name thing? It seems a little much.

I only like Talan - spelled this way.

ClarissaExplainsItAll · April 2012

We know that Jade is feminine, it's not an option to change the middle name. It's his family tradition for a boy's middle name to be his father's first name. No changing that. Same with 2 middle names for a girl. Elizabeth is every girl's second middle name.

I like Cora the most as well, because Lillian is so overused, but he keep bringing up Lillian. Thanks for the feedback!

I like Lincon, but really dislike Talon. I like Cora the best of your girl names.

Talon is AWFUL!

Lincoln is really nice! I like the nn Linc, too.

Love Cora and Lillian. I dont really like Elliana or Elizabeth. Ellie is way too popular right now for my tastes.

LOVE Cora. Lillian/Eliana are pretty, but the Lilly and Elle names are over done for my taste.

Lincoln is nms, but I don't hate it. I certainly like it better than Talon, though. Talon makes me think of a birds claws. Dangerous and sharp.

This is our issue with Lincoln. We don't want him to be called Linc, ever. It reminds FI of Zelda, and I just don't like it. Hahaha. I know we can call him Lincoln and never Linc, but someone is going to shorten it.

I had no clue that Talon was so widely disliked! I've actually known quite a few Talons in my lifetime, so this is strange for me I guess.

do not like either of your boy names

I like Lillian

This is admittedly a bit of a stretch, but perhaps you could nn him Cole. "Col" is part of the name, even if it isn't a phonetic match...
