What did you almost name LO?

S & J were always S & J but we went through a few weeks where we thought S's middle name would be Henry or James.

I always wanted Isabelle but DH would not have it. meany.

DoubleDiamond · November 2009

Ingrid

jess478 · November 2009

Nathan

mavilabride · November 2009

Penelope or Emily

tlong · November 2009

Connor was always Connor but we contemplated making his middle name Patrick (DH's first name) instead of Michael (DH's middle name).

TommysGirl56 · November 2009

I really wanted Maisy for a girl, but we agreed that DH got to pick the girl's name. If we had a boy, I would have got to use my choice, which was Henry.

Xavier.

MrsWanee · November 2009

joshua was our #1 choice from the beginning

sabrina69barnes · November 2009

Gabriel or Bruce

saj&jaj · November 2009

Bauer was always at the top of the list, but we considered Gavin as well.

Sahara6971 · November 2009

Oliver Thomas. DH didn't like it though. His name is Nolan Charles. I still think he looks like an Oliver.

DS#1 was always going to be a Henry and it soooooo suits him.

mrsjazzsinger · November 2009

DD was going to be Bella, we changed our minds about a week after finding out we were having a girl and the name no longer seemed to "fit". I stumbled across Harper on a blog, showed it to DH and saw his face light up (he wasn't in love with the name Bella like I was) and she was Harper from then on out.

robynlesley · November 2009

The only other name I thought of was for a girl... Hannah.

But for a boy, it was always Aaron?after my late paternal grandfather.

MattysGirl81 · November 2009

Our top two choices for a long time were Connor and Andrew. DH said Ethan one day, and that was it! Good thing because DS looks nothing like a Connor or Andrew, even though I still love the names. Maybe if we have another son...

C.Mo · November 2009

DH's pick for her name was Anna Rose. I liked it, but didn't think it had the same "omph" as Madeline did. If we have another girl though, Anna will probably be her first name.

josswhedon · November 2009

Peighton was on our list and so was Kendall.

mfransdell · November 2009

Anna

babysn0wie · November 2009

I wanted Jaylin, but DH didnt like it.

rebus82 · November 2009

DH wanted to name him Cecil. I would have been okay with that, but I think I would have ended up calling him by his middle name had we used it.

I wanted to name him Lucius to begin with, but DH staunchly refused. Spoilsport.

ttmccoot · November 2009

she ended up ivy marguerite (mn after my mom).

up until my 39th week, she was going to be either jolie, ivy, or iris. but that last week, i decided she would either be murphy marguerite, ivy marguerite or marguerite belle (maggie belle). it still took me 4 hours after she was born to decide, and i'm totally happy with my choice.

WendyBird&Chris · November 2009

Cailin from an old Unwritten Law song. But Taelin, Raelin, Jaelynn are all becoming very popular in our area so once DH and I saw DD on the U/S we knew Cailin wasn't for her.

abrix96 · November 2009

Kelsey

Griffin was almost a Drake - it was between the 2.

The twins were always Grayson and Gibson - we never thought about others. If they were girls one would have been Gwendolyn - but we never came up with a 2nd girl name.

heidismith · November 2009

Sadie was the only named that we could both agree on. Her middle name was going to be Taylor until 2 weeks before she was born I convinced my DH that Jo goes better. The only reason he said ok was because they have the same initials now! lol

hula_lula · November 2009

We had nailed down the names Brenna and Kaitlyn during pregnancy. A few weeks after we decided on each I'd start second-guessing.

stephelias · November 2009

DH wanted Veronica but I vetoed... My 2nd choice was Brielle.

LauraLovesJon · November 2009

We were going to name her Sophia, but we made it her middle name instead.

UrbanHippieMama · November 2009

Willow.

deeanneharris · November 2009

First name never changed but the middle did a ton. She was almost Addison Elizabeth instead of Marie.

MrsBatty · November 2009

I had my mind set on Ava for a long time. Then my brother started dating an Asa, and I really do not care for her at all. I thought it was too similar.

BelleBaby · November 2009

Benjamin was always going to be one of them. Eli could have been Samuel or William. Once we decided on Eli, then we had to decide whether he would be just Eli or Elijah. We figured since we were going to call him Eli, he'd be Eli.
