Re: GTKYF: Baby Names
Well, Jade, of course...
We also considered Mallory, Abigail, Vanessa and Lillian (lily) once we knew about our placement was a little girl. We used BM's choice of middle name, so that def came into play and Mallory (my fav) was out of the running right away!
As for boys...i love Marcus, Chad, Mitchell...
Can I answer?
Well, I have an Emmalee. I love the name Rutledge (for my dad) and Victoria.
Ginalynn....is our baby's name which is a combination of two names because her given name means something to the family and they wanted to keep it. Gina her birth families pick and Lynn for my brother that was killed in Sept. Plus is already know her name so we are just adding to it.
I like Abigail, Brooklynn, Ashton, for a girl and Sullivan was our pick for a boy. I also like Colton, Coby, for a boy.
I like:
Elizabeth
Sophia
Sophie
Maya
Callie
Ella
William (duh, that is DS' name)
Anthony
Nicholas
Jack
Matthew
Ryan
Samuel
Girl
Payton Elizabeth, Landry Grace (if Landry isn't used as a boy name), Poppy Grace...we also like Emma, Claire, and Anna
Boy
Jacob Landry
Names.....
I sort of have a love/hate relationship with this topic. My husband is insisting on naming a girl after his deceased mother- Mary Jane. While the spirit of the name is close to what I like, I don't like it for various reasons. I don't think I'll win this battle unless BM wants to have a hand in naming.
The girl names I do like are:
Elizabeth
Sara
Kate
Mary Alice or MaryCate/Catherine or Mary Elizabeth
Anna
Claire
Caroline
Paige
Lillian
Boys....
Most likely Charles/Charlie after my dad.
Other names I like...
Andrew
John Joseph but call him Jack (altho my name is Jill...so that would be silly!)
Patrick
James/Jaime
Larry? Rory? Sorry, those aren't the greatest (IMO). I can't think of any other -ry boy names. I will keep trying though.
BTW, I don't think that many people would notice the -ry connection between your kids, so you should not feel like you have to use an -ry name for the next one.
I want to participate but I can't. We have never been good at coming up with a list of names. LOL
I think I like these:
boys: Henry, William, Max
girls: Grace for a middle name, Emily, Hannah
We have VERY similar tastes. Almost all of your names were on our short list the first time and this time as well.
Anyway, DS was almost Jack. We are really thinking about Jack for number two (full name would be John). However, DS is Will. Would it be weird to have Jack and Will? Your "Jack and Jill" comment makes me wonder.
i want to play, but i am sworn to secrecy by MH! We promised we wouldn't tell a soul what are names are!
DH and I like different names, but here are a few that we agree on;
Girls: Rory, Peyton

for a Boy i have Malachai, Jordan, Tyler, David, Anthony and Ilya

That's my mom's maiden name! what would you use as a nickname for it, I've thought it would be an interesting 1st name, but couldn't come up with a nickname that I liked
Boy Names are hard, but I like ( in no particular order)
Jack
Andrew
Ethan
Evan
Christopher
Christian
Michael
Matthew
Girls:

I also love
Caroline
Abigail
Addison
Paige
Olivia
Jessica
Jenna

Girls (we have a better idea because our failed match was a girl):
Boys
DH refuses to let me use it as a first name. He hates it and so does his family. He is letting me use it as a middle and we will have Conner as a first if we have a boy. He will go by Conner. My dad was the third with James Rutledge (lastname) as his name. My grandfather went by Jim, my dad went by Rutledge or JR. Rutledge is a family name in my dad's family. I have several cousins male & female with that as a first or middle name.
Obviously my children's names: Cooper Jacob and Charlotte Rai (pronounced Rye)
I also love:
Grace Clementine
Fletcher
Spencer
Christopher
Sebastian

For girls I like Camilla, Camille, Cecilia, Julianna, Hannah, Gillian, Freya, Emilia

www.nameberry.com
I love this website..and you can subscribe to a daily newsletter that brings you names and blogs...it's very fun! ?
?I just love the website research you do for all of us! Seriously. This is going to be a fun one!!!?
Lol..I either spend too much time on the internet or bookmark many random things..
But notice when someone says, "What is your favorite blog..." I'm no where to be found! ?I never look at blogs..Okay that's a lie..I have ONE...ONE that I go to religiously..but that's it---and it's home decorating!
I do have a knack for the random...(possibly) helpful...always entertaining sites!
Nameberry is good, I promise.
I used to have this one website that you took a quiz and it gave you, your naming style...I got it off the "baby names" board...I loved that site, but my 'puter crashed and now I don't have it
?
Siaorse (SEER-sha), Ciaran, Connor, Brendan, Tristan, Iain
And some family names
boy : Jaxon Walker (using!!!!)
girl : Avery Lynn (my dad's middle name and my mom/my middle name)
Don't want to be that annoying lurker, but in Irish, it's spelled Saoirse, it means freedom. It comes from Saor meaning free.
If you know and want to spell it wrong that's cool, just thought I'd throw it out there.
