my DH came up with the first name. No idea where he got it, but I loved it! And Richard it my DH AND MY DADS MIDDLE NAME. I think it runs longer in the family just not sure where.
My Grandma's middle name is Mae, always wanted it as a daughter's middle name. Mae is also his grandma's Name. It worked out.
Kate is just a name we both liked, we chose Katherine as formal name bc it is a family name on my side.
Future boy: 100% matthew charles ( charles is my dad and grandpa, matthee is just a name we both like)
Future girl: probably Nora Patrice. Patrice is my middle name (although I dropped it after getting married, as my maiden name is now my legal middle name), and Nora is just a name we like.

We have a lot of family members with that name, my dad, and brother, DH's middle name and his BFF's middle name, DH has 3 cousin's named Michael, as well as my middle name is Michelle. Brian is for DH's cousin who is like a brother to him.
Future girl would be Charlotte Alexandra, Charlotte after a good friend who passed away and Alexandra is the MN of my BFF.
Future boy would probably be Nicholas Alexander, Alexander for the masculine of Alexandra and Nicholas, well, just because lol
Lo's name is Mackenzie Grace. It was the only girl name we could agree on, DH doesn't like names with nicknames because he thinks you should name them what you will call them. (but now we both call her Kenzie... guess that didn't work out for him .... )
Future kids: If we have a boy his name will be Michael after my dad, brother, and grandfather's middle name. For girls.. I have no idea but we love Irish names. If I could talk him into Tristan..........
Charles Brian. We wanted classic names, and Charles was the only one we agreed on. Plus I like Charlie. Brian is DH's grandather, who basically raised him. If he had been a girl, his name would have been Ava Scarlett. My great grandmother was Eva, but I hate how everyone says Eee-va, so I changed it to Ava. I don't care that it's too popular, I had a really uncommon name and got picked on growing up, so I'm ok with them having normal common names!
I went to college in Charleston, SC one of the major rivers there is the Cooper River. I wanted to incorporate something from Charleston because I love the city so much. James is my father and grandfather's first name.
Our girl name was Harper Elizabeth, but I am an only child and an likely one and done myself.
Gian is italian for John which is a family name on my side and Carlo is Italian for Charles which is DH middle name and sort of a family name for me. I just like Luca and it went well with Giancarlo. We call him gio.
Isabella rose Marie is dd
Isabella because we like it and all its nicknames. Rose is my mn and a family name and Marie is DHs gma and all of the women on his side have it for a mn too couldn't end tradition totally.
If we had another girl, unlikely we are prob done, she would be Giuliana Marie Rose. Another boy, no idea... We had a really hard time with boys names. I would like to honor my dad though don't know how since DH and I don't care for either name...

LO name is Lucia Mackenna, Lucia because my maternal grandpa has called me Lucy my whole life, and I'm not a fan of Lucille. And Mackenna is my paternal grandmothers maiden name.
Future LO would be Elia Layne or Jameson or Albert for mine and DH grandfathers that passed
Warning

Any reason for picking those names? Chuck is a nickname for Charlie. My FIL called my dh's brother, who is deceased, Chuck. Bryce was my great grandfathers name.
Future children names? We will try for a girl via FET in a few years, hopefully. Her name would be Margaret, after my grandmother. We were very close. She passed away in Aug. of 2011, I think about her daily. I wish my boys could've met her, she was such a good person.

We have a lot of family members with that name, my dad, and brother, DH's middle name and his BFF's middle name, DH has 3 cousin's named Michael, as well as my middle name is Michelle. Brian is for DH's cousin who is like a brother to him.
Future girl would be Charlotte Alexandra, Charlotte after a good friend who passed away and Alexandra is the MN of my BFF.
Future boy would probably be Nicholas Alexander, Alexander for the masculine of Alexandra and Nicholas, well, just because lol
My little brother is Nicholas Alexander. Jace Zephyr and Damien Alexander are all names of Greek origin with meanings personal to us. I'm Greek and DH and I are very into Greek mythology.
Victor Gianni . I didn't name him, but it's Victor after his fsther and not sure why Gianni.
We can't have anymore kids so no future names for us.
We have a lot of family members with that name, my dad, and brother, DH's middle name and his BFF's middle name, DH has 3 cousin's named Michael, as well as my middle name is Michelle. Brian is for DH's cousin who is like a brother to him.
Future girl would be Charlotte Alexandra, Charlotte after a good friend who passed away and Alexandra is the MN of my BFF.
Future boy would probably be Nicholas Alexander, Alexander for the masculine of Alexandra and Nicholas, well, just because lol
My nephew's name is Nicholas Alexander! We always say he sounds like a little russian czar, lol.
Gabrielle Ann but we called her Brielle. I wanted a formal/traditional name that we could shorten. I also love the meaning- God is my strength. I don't like the nickname Gabby so we do have to correct people when we tell them her full name but it doesn't help her initials are GAB...oh well! Ann is a family middle name- my mom, sister, SIL and I.
Future names ... The other choice for a girl was Kayleigh but we may change our minds by then! But not matter what if it is a boy, the middle name will be Douglas. It is my dads name. There is a tradition in our family to use the fathers first name as the sons middle name but since my dad didn't have boys we would do it to honor him. We have thrown around Nathan Douglas and Hunter Douglas as possibilities.
We wanted an Irish name since we both come from very Irish familys. Xaiver is after DH's grandpa plus we thought having X as a middle initial would make up for him most likely being short and having red hair.
If we have a girl next she will be Eleanore Kathleen. Kathleen is my mom's name. No clue on future boys.
Cooper Neil we like C names DS1 is Connor and we both likes it. Neil was my grandfather's mn.
If we have a third out boy name is Christopher Patrick bc that is what H wanted to name the boys I just won't fight it again. If we have a girl her name would be Callie Grace both are just names we like.
I fell in love with the name Fable on the Girl's Gone Child blog and shamelessly stole it. We use Fae as a nickname. Genevieve is my grandmother's name.
Future LOs we love Whitaker Thomas for a boy, Ivy Ruth for a girl.
LO's name is Calvin Ender. Calvin as in Calvin and Hobbes and Ender from Enders Game.Not sure on names if we have another boy, but for a girl, definitely Mia Valentine.nbsp;
Elliott Jude - My H picked the name Elliott. There's no meaning behind it but it was between Andrew (my H's middle name) and Elliott and that's the one he picked. I loved both so I let him decide. My best friend growing up had a brother named Matthew Jude and I always loved his middle name so that's where Jude came from.
Cora Bryn - One of my favorite books/movies is The Last of the Mohicans and I always loved the name Cora (one of the characters). I also admired how strong she was as a person, in the book and the movie (even though her fate is different b/t the two). I grew up with a girl named Bryn and even though I didn't care too much for her personally, I always loved her name
There are no future children planned for us but our other picks were:
Andrew Gabriel
Carson Gabriel
Camellia Bryn
Mahala (DH's great-great grandmother's name) Bryn
Cora Simone (my grandmother's name)
TTC 12/2009 Me: 32 - Stage II Endo / DH: 36 - Low count and morphology (1%) IUIs 1-3 BFN, lap Dec. 2010, IUIs 4-6 BFN IVF w/ICSI #1 - ER 2/8: 24R 19M 9F ET 2/13 2-5 day blasts (no frosties) = BFP - b/g twins! E & C Born 10/19/2012
DS1 is Stephen Charles. Stephen for my dad, DH's uncle who passed away and it's DH's middle name. Charles for my grandfather.
Ds2 is Ryan Victor. Ryan for my cousin that passed away. Victor for DH's grandma, her middle name was Victoria.
ETA: If we ever have a girl her name will be Clara after my great grandmother and the Nutcracker. If we have another boy he'd probably be Patrick. Not sure about the middle name for either.
LO is Owen Christopher. We chose Owen because DS1 is Adam, and we wanted another four letter name that begins with a vowel. I initially wanted Evan, but DH vetoed it. Christopher is DH's name.
A future boy would probably be Evan Peter. I think I've finally won the battle on Evan, and Peter is a family name.
A future girl would have the middle name Victoria, after MIL, but I don't know about the first name.
I liked Emma but didn't want to use it because of the uberpopularity. I found Emmeline while researching alternatives and loved it. Jane is in honor of my late MIL, Janet.
Emme didn't get officially named until we were in recovery, so no, no clue on any future names.
Our son's name is Matthew James (we call him MJ). He was named after my husband's uncle that passed away in a car accident, also James is a common name on both sides of our family. Don't know if we will have any future children, but if it is a girl I'd like to name her Madison Brielle. Hubby doesn't like the middle name though... oh well.
My oldest son is Anthony John. Anthony was my husbands grandfather and is his uncles name. John is my dad, my SO dad, my brother, my grandfather, and my SO middle name!
Madeline was my great grandmothers name. Elizabeth is the middle name of all girls in my SO family.
LO's name is Calvin Ender. Calvin as in Calvin and Hobbes and Ender from Enders Game.Not sure on names if we have another boy, but for a girl, definitely Mia Valentine.nbsp;
Daniel Charles - call him Trey because he is named after his grandfather and DH.
Juliann Claire - we had a hard time choosing her first name but I liked the nickname Jules and Juliann is classic and incorporates my mom's middle name Ann and MIL's name Roseann. Claire is for my dad William Clarence.
We are probably done so all the grandparents are represented in our children's name.
Re: Gtky: lo's name
My LO's name is Tavin Richard
my DH came up with the first name. No idea where he got it, but I loved it! And Richard it my DH AND MY DADS MIDDLE NAME. I think it runs longer in the family just not sure where.

Kate is just a name we both liked, we chose Katherine as formal name bc it is a family name on my side.

Future girl would be Charlotte Alexandra, Charlotte after a good friend who passed away and Alexandra is the MN of my BFF.
Future boy would probably be Nicholas Alexander, Alexander for the masculine of Alexandra and Nicholas, well, just because lol
We wanted something different but not too weird. MH and I are both have Lee and Leigh middle names.
The only name I can think of would be for a girl is Emily Renee or Sarah Lynn
LO's name is Calvin Ender. Calvin as in Calvin and Hobbes and Ender from Enders Game.
Not sure on names if we have another boy, but for a girl, definitely Mia Valentine.
Lo's name is Mackenzie Grace. It was the only girl name we could agree on, DH doesn't like names with nicknames because he thinks you should name them what you will call them. (but now we both call her Kenzie... guess that didn't work out for him

Charles Brian. We wanted classic names, and Charles was the only one we agreed on. Plus I like Charlie. Brian is DH's grandather, who basically raised him. If he had been a girl, his name would have been Ava Scarlett. My great grandmother was Eva, but I hate how everyone says Eee-va, so I changed it to Ava.

Victor Gianni . I didn't name him, but it's Victor after his fsther and not sure why Gianni.
We can't have anymore kids so no future names for us.
I've always liked Russian girl names and names that are uncommon, but no so uncommon you have never heard them.
My daughter's and I share 4 out of the 5 letters in our first names, yet they sound different. So we are named similar.
I have no idea what we would use for a future child name.
Leo henry
Leo is after my grandmother Leona. Henry I just really liked.
Max, for a boy (DH isn't convinced but I really like it). Possibly Audrey or Claire for a girl.
My nephew's name is Nicholas Alexander! We always say he sounds like a little russian czar, lol.

Juliet Patricia.
Juliet from Psych plus really like the name.
Patricia is my mom's name.

I fell in love with the name Fable on the Girl's Gone Child blog and shamelessly stole it. We use Fae as a nickname. Genevieve is my grandmother's name.
Future LOs we love Whitaker Thomas for a boy, Ivy Ruth for a girl.

DS2 Grady Craig - Grady is just a name we both liked that was not too common but easy to pronounce and spelll. Craig is my Dad's first name.
We are 99% sure we are done having kids but if we have any more girl will be Nora Kate and boy would be Brogan, Austin, or Ethan.
