It would take a miracle to change DH and I's minds on this one. Paul is my deceased grandfather's name, Sawyer we just love.
Girl: Emerson or Tessa.
I love Emerson but DH likes Tessa more. I think we'll keep the literary theme going!
I LOVE Sawyer. I tried to name DS Sawyer but DH said nope. He likes it, we just live two towns over from a town named Sawyer and DH didn't want it to be that close.
Boy: if I could choose tanner scott (though I'm not sure I love coopER and tannER) but DH refuses to use tanner. We had a realllllly hard time picking C's name...but both agree on a girls name...so let's hope it's a girl (in a year or two...)

I'll chime in even though we are not having more children. Our kids are Bronwyn Harper and Benham Sawyer. Both unique names which was important to us since DH and I have pretty common names (Emily & John).
Some names I really like for a girl: Tenley or Seryn.
DH really liked Landon, so maybe if we have a boy we can go with Landon James and make us both happy since I wanted James. For a girl, I really, really like Audra, but Dh is not a fan. I have some time to work on it though!
Boy: I still like Colin, but I think I would want to come up with a new list of names, it took us 9+ month to decide on E, so I think we'll have work to do for DS2!
ETA: Elliot was also on our list for a little, but we never seriously considered it. Too many different ways to spell it, although I still like the name!
Girl: Charlotte and Catherine (Cate) have been on my list for years, but lately I'm loving Vivian Eileen (mn will be Eileen after my grandma - both DH and I were the only ones with her when she passed away. coincidently, that was the day I knew I would eventually marry him).
Girl: Isla Judith (although are Isla and Emma too similar?!?)
My nm is Frances, after my dad & grandfather and I love it. My sister and I actually got in a little fight over the use of the name Francis/es (we were due within two months of each other, she first) and she used Caleb Francis for my nephew...
I want to pass it on to future child, but I feel the specialness is gone. Silly, I know, but I love family names as mn, but not when the entire family has it!
Girl: Isla Judith (although are Isla and Emma too similar?!?)
My nm is Frances, after my dad & grandfather and I love it. My sister and I actually got in a little fight over the use of the name Francis/es (we were due within two months of each other, she first) and she used Caleb Francis for my nephew...
I want to pass it on to future child, but I feel the specialness is gone. Silly, I know, but I love family names as mn, but not when the entire family has it!
I love Francis, it's a family name for me too! My brother, dad, grandfather, and great grandfather have all been Francis for their first names. My maiden name is very Italian
For boys I like Asa, Russell and Walter. DS and I talked about Hollis the other day, too.
For girls we really like Hazel, but not sure if we'll use that ever. I really love Blythe, but that will I will really have to convince DH to use that one.
BFP #1: 3.28.11 Dx w/ PIH @ 24w
DS Born @ 36w: 11.7.11
6 Days in NICU BFP #2: 8.31.16 Dx w/ GD @ 28w DD Born @ 36w: 4.21.17
Boy; Levi was our runner up name for B, so Levi. We haven't chosen the middle name for sure yet but I think DH is leaning towards Aaron.
Girl; Keira was the only name we could agree on, and I doubt when it comes time to choose a girl name later we'll be able think of a different one. DH likes Lynn for a middle name, but I'm not sure. I feel like it would sound too much like Carolyn.
If we have a girl, I think it would be kind of cute (yet cheesy) (yet cute) to give the boys D names (DH is Dan, DS is Damien) and the girls L names (I'm Laeci.) Our number one girl name is Lara, so that works (we like Lara Carine or Lara Miranda.)
If we have a boy, I'm not sure about finding another D name DH and I can agree on (I like Davin, Dexter, Dylan, Dawson, Dante... but DH is picky.) So we may go back to our old favorite Auren Caine.
BFP #1: EDD 8/29/11, MMC 1/14/11. BFP #2: Damien Isaac born 12/16/11. BFP #3: Rowen Cole born 7/28/14. BFP #4: EDD 9/16/16.
We have Declen Earl for a boy. FI wants a good Irish name and Earl is his middle name, it's a family name as well. For a girl...I have no idea. Something unique though.

I would have such a hard time picking a girl name because I love my DD's name and had it picked out for years before she was even a sparkle in my eye! lol A lot of the girl names I liked, my cousins have used for their kids. I kinda like Sophia and Josie.
For boys, I like Bradley, Jacob and Kevin. The middle name would be Wayne because my DH wants to carry that from his Dad's mn.
For a girl: Evelyn Joy (that was our girl name this time around). However, if Evelyn gets to be just a little too popular, I also love the names Isla and Lena (I know both were mentioned already, I told you I love your ideas!) DH and I also both like Annika.
For a boy: No clue... As a teacher, I have so many names that are out. I like Isaac, but I know DH isn't a huge fan. DH likes Clarence (his grandfather's name), and I like Wesley (my grandfather's name)...so maybe we'd do something with that.
for a boy I really am loving Leo right now. Or Jack. DH doesn't even know Leo is on my list but Jack has been on our boys list for years. Middle name would likely be David after my dad but I also like Robert (DH's grandfather)
I have NO idea for girls - we didn't come up with DD's name until we knew she was a girl and there isn't much of a list leftover that we both agree on.
Re: S/O baby names...what would you name your next LO?
Boy: Connor Anthony

I really have no clue about girl names!
Boy: Sawyer Paul.
It would take a miracle to change DH and I's minds on this one. Paul is my deceased grandfather's name, Sawyer we just love.
Girl: Emerson or Tessa.
I love Emerson but DH likes Tessa more. I think we'll keep the literary theme going!
Boy: Owen, not sure on the middle name might be Scott, Michael, or Miles.
Girl: Charlotte Ann
I LOVE Sawyer. I tried to name DS Sawyer but DH said nope. He likes it, we just live two towns over from a town named Sawyer and DH didn't want it to be that close.

Girl: Tinsley (My husband's middle name and his grandmothers middle name) Grace or Grace as a first name.
Boy: Ethan James
Boy: Jack Taylor
Girl: no clue

boy: Parker (since we didn't get to use it this time)
girl: no idea
Isla and Emma sound nice together, btw.
This sounds like a senator or other political official!

Boy: Collin Marcus - I'm not 100% sold on Collin but that's where we're at right now.
Girl: Lauren Cynthia (probably)
May Siggy Challenge: TV mom
Lol that would be awesome!!!
My nm is Frances, after my dad & grandfather and I love it. My sister and I actually got in a little fight over the use of the name Francis/es (we were due within two months of each other, she first) and she used Caleb Francis for my nephew...
I want to pass it on to future child, but I feel the specialness is gone. Silly, I know, but I love family names as mn, but not when the entire family has it!
Boy: Lawson or Landon ...but probably talk ourselves out of both because they rhyme with our last name.
Girl: Sophie Lalita Rae
I love Francis, it's a family name for me too! My brother, dad, grandfather, and great grandfather have all been Francis for their first names. My maiden name is very Italian

Boy: Connor, Wesley or Dylan. I love the nickname Charlie, but DH has vetoed Charles for a boy. sad

Boy: I like Eli (my DH does not agree), no clue for a middle name
Girl: Harper Grace or Regan Grace
For boys I like Asa, Russell and Walter. DS and I talked about Hollis the other day, too.

Girls...Fiona, Eva, Francesca, Alaina, Gia
Boys...Shane, Christian, William, Damian, Evan
BFP #2 - MC Aug 2012 - D&C w/ complications
Well, if LO was a girl he was going to be Jacqueline (after DH's grandma) but I am NOT naming my kids Jackson and Jacqueline!
Other names I liked when discussing it before were Anne, Katherine, Zachary, Benjamin, etc.
BFP #2 on 4/12/11, J born on 12/14/11
Boy; Levi was our runner up name for B, so Levi. We haven't chosen the middle name for sure yet but I think DH is leaning towards Aaron.
Girl; Keira was the only name we could agree on, and I doubt when it comes time to choose a girl name later we'll be able think of a different one. DH likes Lynn for a middle name, but I'm not sure. I feel like it would sound too much like Carolyn.
Well, it kind of depends.
If we have a girl, I think it would be kind of cute (yet cheesy) (yet cute) to give the boys D names (DH is Dan, DS is Damien) and the girls L names (I'm Laeci.) Our number one girl name is Lara, so that works (we like Lara Carine or Lara Miranda.)
