We have had our names picked out for about 4-5 months now. Long story short - DH found out that two of his first cousins recently had babies and one used our girl name (Ava) and one used our boy name (Landon). DH now feels weird about using those names and there is nothing I can say that will make him change his mind. I was upset last night but am moving on and trying to find new names (we are team green). I have a small list for each with some names that I like and some that DH likes. I would love feedback - positive or negative. I was hoping to use the middle name Jillian after my mom and Paul after my grandpa. TIA!
Girl: Paige, Hannah, Lila/Lilah, Sienna, Emma, Riley
Boy: Lucas, Connor, Cameron, Noah, Ethan, Gavin
Re: Have to choose new names at 35 weeks :-(
lucas, conner and paige are my favs. it is too bad that they used your names.
did you announce them yet? if so then how would they think you copied?
Girl: Paige- I like for a MN only, Hannah- NMS, Lila/Lilah- too trendy, Sienna- like, Emma- too trendy, Riley- eh
I like Sienna Paige or Sienna Riley
Boy: Lucas- OK, Connor- Like, Cameron-OK, Noah- NMS, Ethan- OK, Gavin- OK
I like Connor Gavin or Cameron Lucas

That's a bummer, but if it helps at all I actually like some of your new name choices better
)
I love Hannah Jillian and Emma Jillian for a girl!
I love a lot of your boy name choices, but my favorites are probably Noah, Connor and Lucas.
Love Paige and Gavin
Also like Lila & Lucas

That blows! I'm so sorry. I like Riley or Emma (though i like all the names!) and Connor or Ethan. Actually, I like all your names, I'm just trying to think of the MN combo
Good luck!
Give DH a few days, maybe he will come around! Your kid will hardly know those cousins - that's what, second cousins?? In our family if it is past first cousins, the name is fair game!
I actually like all of your names a lot. Looking at them with the middle names you've picked, my favorites are:
Lilah Jillian
Emma Jillian
Hannah Jillian
Lucas Paul
Connor Paul
Gavin Paul
m/c: 9/06/12
LTB: 10/23/13
That stinks!
I like Riley and Emma out of your girl names.
It's tough for me to choose your boy names since I like all of them besides Ethan. I think my favorites would be Lucas followed by Cameron.
ditto
That sucks, personally I would still use the names, but if your DH won't budge...
Anyway, I LOVE all your new names too! Lila is my fav, it's currently in our top 5, but I don't really like Lila Jillian. Sienna Jillian isn't bad. I think Lucas and Connor are my favs of your boy names and both sound good with Paul.
Since we seem to have similar taste in names, our #1 boy name was Nolan - you might like that too(?)

*please excuse my typos, bumping from my iphone*
Girl: I like Paige
Boy: Connor & Gavin
Acutally I really like most of your names...this is my opinion
Paige or Lila/Lilah for a girl....Hannah Jillian doesnt flow for me, Sienna and Riley are NMS, and she will have like 100 classmantes with the name Emma
Lucas or Noah...just because i like them, all the boys names flow fairly well.
I like...
Girl: Hannah & Riley
Boy: Connor & Ethan
I love Paige and Lila! Both were on our girl list.
I like Noah and Ethan for boys.
I think Emma & Gavin are cute, but too trendy/popular for me. Just my opinion.
