I still think it's funny that there's a toddler Colton Thomas in one of the users sigs on our board. I wanted to use Thomas in honor of my dad, and Michael's dad's name was Carson, but he has a nephew already named Carson after him, so Colton was the closest we found that we liked
Unless the u/s tech was very wrong we're having a boy and we still haven't found a name. We don't even have a front runner. Middle name will be Joseph because that's the male family name on all sides, but FIL would be really uncomfortable with us using it as a first name (he's a really shy, humble guy and it would make him really unhappy) but we haven't found a boy name we both like and we like with our last name. At this point I think once I see him it will hit me. At least I hope so.
Martin. No middle name. I told DH today that if he comes out a girl we are just adding an a, making it Martina, so I don't have to redo a bunch of forms I've already started filling out...forms for his American passport, report of birth abroad, social security card, money we will get from German government, etc. I've filled out 4 forms already with just the birth info to be added and I don't want to redo! Haha.
If our little girl ended up being a boy instead (doubtful since we have had 4 u/s, but none the less) we would name him William Edmond and call him Liam. He would be a 4th.
We like Brandon for the first name, and have five names in the running for the middle name. We are refusing to commit to a name until we see him though. :-)
Our little man will be Ethan Frank. The first name is the ONLY one we could agree on...! The middle name is after my grandpa who passed away 2 years ago. He practically raised me and I still miss him...
Our boys will be Samuel Glenn and Jacob Reynolds. The first names are family names grandfathers and the mn is our brothers mn.

My little brother is Adam Joseph. Even tho Adam is kind of popular we call him AJ for short.
Out top choice is currently Elliot Virgil. Virgil was dh grandfather.
DD: 6/30/09. Mild pre-e
DS: 9/5/10. Normal pregnancy
Diagnosed 6/4/12 with dermatomyositis. Currently on Prednisone and IVIG therapy.
9/11/12: Normal a/s for DS2. No side effects from my medication, yay!
DS2: 1/28/13. Thankful for healthy children!
I hijacked the choosing of a boy's name after we had been dating for about a month. Nine years later, I stuck to my guns and used all of my wifely wiles to persuade DH to come over to my camp. Luckily he didn't need too much arm twisting!
I've had the name Wolf Vincent picked out since I was 16 or so. When the time came to either keep the name or change my mind, I decided that I wanted a longer name with the nn Wolf in it. I'm not a huge fan of Wolfgang, but I found a few others and finally decided on Wolfram after careful research and consideration. DH was a little iffy at first, especially since he has no clear German heritage (I do) and Wolfram is such a German name, but a few circumstantial occurrences and consistant persuasion have won him over.
Vincent was easier, it is a strong, masculine and aristocratic sounding name. Neither one of us is Italian and the name Vincent has no family ties, but there are a slew of famous Vincents who have done some pretty awesome work in the world so namesakes are many, including Vincents who rose to Sainthood. We have considered the Gaelic form of Uinseann (pronounced IN-shun) but we won't know for sure until baby is here what we'll do.
Wolfram is a combination of Wolf and Raven in German and has mythological ties to the God Woden and to ancient Germanic battle poetry. We both have Native American heritage (he Cherokee and I Cherokee and Apache) and the idea of an animal-influenced forename appeals to me. Vincent means Conqueror.
Andrew JosephHe will have DH's middle name. DS1 has my late dads name for his middle name so we stuck with a family name for DS2.
We are doing Joseph Andrew!
DS1 picked Joseph while we were reading his bible one night before I was pg and it stuck. So he will have the same initials as DH.
OurBlessing From God Through Adoption
Our Blessing After TTC for 6 Years (natural birth!)
Our LO will be Nicklaus Eric. Nicklaus was DH's granddad and Eric is my brother.
We debated for a while on the spelling (I voted for Nicholas) but DH talked me into the original Ukrainian spelling, since that's how his granddad spelled it.
I'm pretty close to my brother and he has no idea that he's in the mn spot. I'm going to surprise him with it when he meets his nephew
Love! We both love the names Luke and Owen but didn't want our boys to have the same names as the actors lol. Didn't even think of it as first and mn!
We are naming our boys Luke Robert and Nolan Matthew. Robert is my dads name and Matthew is what my SO wanted as a first name we compromised.
Our boy list is - Abraham, Luke, Noah, Paul, and Aaron
Middle name will be one of the following - Alan, Jeffrey, James, Stanley, Maurice, or Richard
I am SO jealous of your nice long list of names!! I wanted to have at least 3 first names going into the birth and decide what fits when we see him... but so far we have only agreed on one! So unless some miracle happens and we come up with more in the next week or two, our little guy will be named Tyler and his middle name will either be Robert or David (both family names).....
...of COURSE we had decent list of girl's names in mind, and if LO were to come out a girl (doubtful after what we saw on my recent ultrasound!) she would either be Victoria Claire (Tori), Leah Rose or Hannah Claire.
I love the name Rory as it's different without being "odd" and it's a nice Irish name to go with our last name. David is DH's middle name and his dad's first name so it's nice keeping it in the family. :-)
Re: Cause boys are awesome too...
Jackson Franklin
He will be called Jack-- my paternal grandfather is John, but goes by Jack.
Franklin is the name of my maternal grandfather and DH's maternal grandfather.
Colton Thomas
I still think it's funny that there's a toddler Colton Thomas in one of the users sigs on our board. I wanted to use Thomas in honor of my dad, and Michael's dad's name was Carson, but he has a nephew already named Carson after him, so Colton was the closest we found that we liked
Mason Tyler
It was the first name we really talked about, and within a week we were both decided. He's had a name for almost five months.
DS1: Quinn - 10.22.10 and DS2: Cole - 01.18.13
Great name!
If LO had been a boy (or surprises us I guess), I think we would have gone with Elliott David.
Wesley Rodney.
If he were a girl, he would've probably been Aria Delaney.
We can't decide between Roland Garrett and Garrett Roland. We're not too concerned about figuring it out now. We have some time.
No real story behind those names, we just like them
Paxton Alexander Collins
No story behind the name
If the u/s tech was wrong and this baby comes out a girl then her name will be Rayleigh Evelyn
Andrew Joseph
He will have DH's middle name. DS1 has my late dads name for his middle name so we stuck with a family name for DS2.
Noah goes well with our first son Eli and Steven after my husbands uncle :
Eric William, no story just the first one neither of us didn't seriously object to.

Henry David....
Henry after my grandfather and David after my brother
If it's a boy it will be Kade Thomas
Kade is just a name I fell in love with, but Thomas has run along my paternal side over over 25 generations, be it as a first name or a middle name
Wolfram Vincent

Our Ds was going to be Gabriel, but at about 7mths into the pregnancy I happened upon the name Tai.
As DH is half Malaysian, and I grew up in Asia, the name seemed just perfect.
So our DS is Tai - "Tai, Tai Chicken Pie"
and our second son cld be Gabriel, Cal or Kier.
All my kids have middle names after family members first names, Anthony is my grandfathers first name.
We are doing Joseph Andrew!
DS1 picked Joseph while we were reading his bible one night before I was pg and it stuck. So he will have the same initials as DH.
Our LO will be Nicklaus Eric. Nicklaus was DH's granddad and Eric is my brother.

Love Lucas Owen too!
Ours is Rory David.
I love the name Rory as it's different without being "odd" and it's a nice Irish name to go with our last name. David is DH's middle name and his dad's first name so it's nice keeping it in the family. :-)
Oooo, I love both of those names! Especially Bennett. Very nice!
