Pregnancy is 40 weeks long so that...

Guillerma

We have time to name our children! 

With DD we had the right name right away and never looked back once we knew the sex.  This time  we're having a really hard time finding anything that sounds right. We wanted to use the initials JD to honor a family member but haven't found anything we loved.

So we both spent the last week coming up with a list of 15 names and played a game. We took turns picking (like dodgeball!) and each got 3 vetoes. What do you think of these names? Any good first middle combos? Any other suggestions? DD is Isla Rose and last name ends in t and also has an -er sound so names with those names are out.

Josephine "Josie" Day is such a lovely name!

DH is pushing hard for this combo! It was his number one choice from the start. I'm LOVING seeing all these combinations. It's really overwhelming having so many things to choose from, but I've settled on the fact that nothing is just going to sound "right" this time, so hopefully some of these combos wilL grow in me.

We had a hell of a time with dd2 as well... To the point she was nameless for two days!!!! From your list

Josephine Day or Della nn Posie.

The name combos I like the most out of the names you've listed are:

Boys - James Dean, Noah James, Micah Dean, Jack Lewis 

(and one that you didn't list but has JD as its initials - Jake Damon; my gf wanted to use those initials as well and that's what she came up with; Damon was after her BIL)

Girls - Carys Day, Piper Delaney, Wren Elizabeth, Hazel Day, Stella Mae

You have Otis and Otto backwards.  Otto is the formal name, and Otis is the NN.  Just a heads up.  I'm not opposed to reverse NNs, but I just thought I'd say something.

(LOVE Libby as a nn for Elizabeth)

Thanks! Otis was actually one of DH's picks, and I'm not a huge fan of Otis, but I do like Otto. That helps me, as I'd rather have Otto as the formal name! He had a Grandpa Otis who always went by Otis and had Otis as a formal name so I wasn't aware.
