LOVE Amelia Jean!!

I love Lucy (hehe) and Allison, but I don't like them together

Charlotte Jan doesn't sound right to me.

Zoey Elizabeth is ok.

John David makes me think "Duggar" but it's a perfectly nice name!

Not a fan of Hayes or Arthur

I don't love Taylor Joseph.

I think Lucy is leading in the girl cateogry for us... Would like a middle name with some meaning... Evelyn, Elizabeth, Jane, Virginia, Theresa... any of those fit better than Allison.

I agree about the boys names, DH is set on John David, though we'd call him JD. We both figure we're having a girl anyways.

Amelia Jean is nice. Can I mix & match? I like Charlotte Allison.

I really like Taylor Joseph for a boy. Not a fan of Hayes as a first name. Agree that John David is a bit too Duggar for me.

Your girls' list is cute. I really like Amelia Jean and Lucy Allison. Please, PLEASE spell Zoe correctly. I don't understand this constant fascination with adding a Y. Nobody spells Chloe that way (Chloey), and they have the exact same phonetic structure going on. So, please. It's not that hard. Zoe. Zoe, Zoe, Zoe, Z-O-E. (Sorry, you're like the 8th person this week who seems to think Zoey is a good idea...)

I love John David, but Hayes Arthur is really growing on me. Hayes is kind of a handsome first name. I really like it.

I don't like Taylor for a boy. I know it's unisex, but I really only think of it as a girls' name. I love Joseph.

Some mixing and matching is ok, but where the first name starts with an A or C, I'd like the middle name to start with a J, so we can use initial NN if we want (AJ/CJ). Also open to other J names to consider...

Thank you for the correction on Zoe... I had no idea... I just knew a friend of my sister's was Zoe and it was pronounced Zo not Zo-EE, so I assumed I needed the Y

I like Hayes too... it DH's Step-Mom's Maiden Name.

And as for Taylor, it was a bit of a stretch... my fav is Josephe John, but I can't get DH to agree to it, yet!

Lucy is my favorite name from your list too, but I don't like it with Allison at all. I think Lucy Virginia is nice. I also really like Amelia Jean ? very cute!

I think John David is a nice name. I've known two very nice men called JD, so I have a good association with that nickname.

If it had been an option, I would have voted Arthur Hayes as my favorite.
