I know some of you are still looking for name ideas.
These are some of the ones I used to like but am not using either because they sound awful with our last name or I just don't like them as much anymore (or DH said no way lol)
Girls: Sabrina, Violet, Delaney, Jordan, Ruby, Charlotte, Katie, Dale (I know this is a man's name but it just sounds feminine to me) & Paloma
Boys: Dexter, Griffin (Fin), Brexton, Quintin, Joplin, Henry, Phoenix, Delano, Orsin, Connary & Collin
So what are the names you did like or consider but aren't anymore?
Re: Post your rejects!
Girl: Harper (too many 'r' sounds with our last name), Cooper (see DS's name).
Boy: Henry, George, Griffin (used on our pets- doh)?
(read it. you know you want to.)

We loved Ella for a girl but then decided that it sounded too close to our niece's name (Ayla).
I loved Holden for a boy but it has too many "n" sounds when combined with our last name.

Maxine was a first name reject but it is the middle name.

Mia, Mollie, Anna Gray, Piper, Carolina, Lucy, Carys.- some for popularity reasons, others for family reasons, and others because of my kids' names.
