Sadler James
Sadler becuase we love it and James becuase I love it, and it happens to be DH and FILs middle name....

We don't know the sex yet so we have Ryan Carter and Brooklyn. Picked them because we love them...not much more to it : ) Still need a middle name for Brooklyn though. Anyone wanna help? ; )
Boy: Asher Clark (first name following our biblical names theme [one of the 12 tribes in the old testament], middle name in my maiden name)
Girl: Sophia Lynn (first name following our biblical names theme ["wisdom" in the greek new testament], middle name is my middle name)
Mama Jan's Kitchen... a food blog
Right now, we are leaning towards:
Tess Nadine (Nadine is his grandmother's name)
Sawyer Thomas or Sawyer Michael (Thomas is his grandfather's name, and Michael is his cousin who just died's name and my brother's name)?
Our girl name is easy - Gretta Naomi. Gretta is after my grandmother (Margaret) and Naomi is after DH's sister who died suddenly a few days before our wedding. Of course we're not having a girl.
Boys names...not so much. So far the options are Ellis, Oliver and Theodore.
*Ellis is a Welsh name meaning benevolent. DH is from Wales and we both really like it.
*Theodore is one of DH's 3 middle names (well, Theo) but mostly I just think it's cute and love the nn Teddy.
*Oliver is a nod to the twins we lost at 9 weeks, 2 and a half years ago. I bled the entire pregnancy and was always scared of losing them, so I'd set goals for myself. After having a dream where I gave birth to a green olive it became my goal to get to 9w, when they'd be the size of olives. I was so happy when I hit 9w - "they're olives!" - and so devastated when we lost them the next day. So I've always thought of them as my little olives.

Olivia or Charlotte... still debating which.
Our last name starts with a "K".
Girl: Lillian Kate
Boy: Jacob Simon
?
Lillian is DH's great aunt
Kate is my great grandmother
Jacob is named for my grandma Joan
Simon is named for DH's grandma Shirley. Simons also happens to be my maternal grandmother's maiden name and Simon was my paternal great grandfather.?
DD is Alex Darris.
FOr the twins:
If it's 2 boys: John Morgan and Henry David
If it's b/g- John Morgan and Kylie Marian
If it's g/g- Kylie Marian and ?????
Kylie is the only name of all of them that isn't a family name. But it's the only one we could agree on- girl names have been hard for us!
Benjamin David and Eli Samuel.
No specific reason, other than we just loved the names. Benjamin will probably get called Ben at some point. Eli doesn't really have a nickname.
Girl: Maya Grace
Boy: Carson Michael
Maya because I have always loved that name and it isn't too popular yet. Grace, I must admit has something to do with the fact that I love the Dave Matthews Band and they incorporate the word Grace into many of their songs and they are like poetry to me. I just always felt moved by it. (don't tell DH that is why I like it though
Carson is for my grandfather, it was his middle name and all the boys on that side pass down his first name, but no one has used the middle name yet. I was very close to him and he passed away recently. Michael is DH's name and also my brother's name so it's a family name as well.
Girl - Harper (middle name undecided)
Boy - Rowen Joseph
Joseph is for my grandpa, the other two names we just liked
Julia Claire
We both are in love with the Beatles song "Julia" DH sings and plays it on guitar to her every day. Claire- because we like it!
Boy: Nolan James
Girl: Eleanor Rose
or
Marlowe Eleanor
Serai Caile (Suh-rye Kylie) - It means My Princess from Heaven
and our boy is Solomon Clement?
?both names are from the bible?
Charlie (Charles) Richard - Charlie because we like it, Richard for DH
and a girl would have been Isabella (Bella) Marie - Isabella because we liked it, Marie because it is in both our moms' names.?
We are having a boy so here are what our picks are..we have narrowed it down to two
1. Nelson Elijah (Nelson is after daddy and Elijah we just happen to really like)
2). Elijah Gael (Elijah we like and Gael we like as well)
I told my DH that if he wants to name his little boy after him thats fine, but I do not like Junior at all so he will still be called Elijah or Eli either way
Dashiell Jack
Jack is in honor of both of our fathers. Dash because we like it.
Lucas Alexander,?
We wanted a bibical name. Lucas means morning light and Alexander is defender of the people. ?
Rylee Jayne.
Rylee because we love the name, and spelling it that way to include "Lee" DH's mom's middle name. Jayne is after my mom.
Ivan Christopher.
Christopher is DH's name and we LOVE the name Ivan..
If it's a boy: Noah Mahru (Mahru after my late father-in-law. It's a Hindu name),
If it's a girl: Alexa Nicole
Girl: Ashlynn Bailey
Boy: Connor Francis
We are not 100% decided, but....
Boy: Mitchell ???
DH thinks it is a cool name and it goes well with Brecken (DS)
Girl: Cora Nicole
I think Cora is a beautiful name and Nicole is my sisters middle name. She will be the godmother.
Girl: Olivia Noelle (I've loved the name Olivia since I was a little girl - hate that it's popular now though; Noelle was my middle name)
Boy: Lucas/Lukas Anthony (Luke is Biblical/German-sounding - DH has 100% German bloodlines - and Anthony is after my grandfather, whom I love dearly)
I like the meaning of both of their names - Olivia means "peace" and Lucas means "bringer of light."
I'll know if I'm having an Olivia or a Lucas on March 2nd!
girl: eliot grace (named after the poet t.s. eliot) but we'll call her "gracie"
boy: ?harper scott
For a boy we both like either Shawn or James - haven't decided on middle names yet.
Girl names are so much tougher. I love Ella Katherine or Annalise, but DH is lukewarm on Ella and hates Annalise. He would love to name a little girl after me (Colleen) but I am not comfortable doing that. He also likes Samantha which I am meh about
DS 3.12.08
DD 7.11.09
DD 8.01.13
Oh and Jamie would be the nn for James and Anna would be nn for Annalise.
DS is named after my late uncle (Charles) and my dad (Joseph). Plus I loved the name anyway and love calling him Charlie
DS 3.12.08
DD 7.11.09
DD 8.01.13
Madelyn Grace (Maddy Grace)
Just because we liked it:)
pretty sure it will be Finn
Middle name will be picked by my in-laws. DH is Chinese so we want a chinese middle name.
No nickname. I am not a fan of nicknames or giving a baby a name with the intention of using a nickname. If a nickname happens by chance fine, but why give a big name only to call kid something else?? For this reason we purposely picked a short name with no nicknames.
