Names???

lhakers · June 2011

Does anyone have NO idea what they are going to name their baby? We just found out it was a girl. We did not have any girl names picked out...or boy names for that matter. If it was a boy he would have been named after DH or FIL.

Suggestions? Pretty...unique...girly names?

TIA

DH and I have no idea either for our little girl. We had a name that we were 90% on if it was a boy, but we don't seem to agree on any girl names.

The baby names board has a list of name resources/websites at the top of the page if you are in need of inspiration. Good luck!

Thank you!!

No clue here. I have a list of names, DH has said no to all of them. He has only suggested ONE name himself and it's pissing me off that he says no to all of my names, when I'm at least giving options.

Names on my list include: Lacey, Harper, Tessa, Nora, Gwen, Kensington, Cassidy, Sophia, and Leah.

DH's suggestion was Riley Morgan (I like Riley, but not Morgan--it's his dad's name and I hate it and I'm not fond of FIL himself).

I don't know yet know if we're having a girl or a boy. If we have a boy, I have NO idea what we'll name him. If we have a girl, so far I think we're going with Elliette Mae. It's the only girl name we both like, and we seem to keep coming back to it.

I like Riley! On your list, I like Gwen and Tessa! (not that you asked!)

We don't find out what we're having until July 7. We have started looking at boy names but not girl names yet. We figured we would really focus on picking a name after we found out. There are just so many names so we thought it would be easier to wait until we knew the sex.

Girl names that I have always liked: Quinn, Gwen, Riley, Peyton, Ella

amyjoy18 · June 2011

We don't know what we're having yet--and have stopped all name discussions until we know. We figure that will eliminate half of the arguments! LOL.

I can't seem to find anything I like nearly as much as DD #1's name (Brinley Caroline)...but here are some I'm considering:

Marissa
Cora
Eleni
Lindy
Calista
Camilla

We're having a hard time with a boy name. We don't want a name that is super common, but also don't want a really unusual one either. Our daughter is Delilah and we think it's the perfect name for her.

duffmaker · June 2011

We are so stuck too! We think it's a boy, well my FI is convinced it's a boy at least... but we have 0 boy names picked out! However, just today a girl name came to be that I adore and when I shared it my FI was all "Yes! Yes! I love it! It's perfect!" So if it's a girl we'll be naming her Charlotte, and her nickname will be Charlie but we'll spell it Charly (We think it's a bit more femine). It's just perfect for us it fits our personalities and its sweet and classically unique (you don't hear it much on little ones now a day)!

My advice, really go for your personality as a couple, are you adventurous? comical? laid back? peppy? elegant? eclectic? witty? Look at names that fit how you and your DH are as a family, you want it to be something that really touches your hearts, that's how you'll know it's special, right and perfect for your angel!

CheriCO · June 2011

We have no idea. We haven't discussed boy names at all and have tossed around a few girl names, but nothing is really jumping out at us. I really like the name Greta. It was probably at the top of our list, but our close friends just named their daughter Greta Adelaide. It seems that every name I think of, I have some sort of association with that makes me not want to use it - even if it's just that there is another nestie (mostly on my local board) who has a child with the name. For instance, I was thinking maybe Alexandra with nn Allie, but Mrs.Greeko's daughter's name is Alexandra. She uses a different nn, but still... I'm going to have to get over this or we'll never have a name for baby!

You can use our names Savannah Louise, Sydney Lee, or Scarlett Elizabeth. We are having a boy... so alas since we have decided we will only have one, you may feel free to take Smile

HokieLaw · June 2011

When we found out the twins were girls we were scrambling to come up with names. I had two that I liked, but MH didn't like one of them. WE had boy names picked out. It's hard! But you'll find the right name.

DH and I had a boy's name picked out for certain since we were pretty convinced that we would be welcoming a little boy...since we found out we are expecting a little girl, the only girl's name we can agree on is Scarlett (which is feminine and also not too too common)...but are struggling as to a middle name Confused Girl names that I like in particular are:

Eden, Isabella, Peyton,Charlize or Charlotte (nn Charlie),AnaMaria, Alyssa, Lily....idk just a few that came to mind Big Smile GL!!

If our baby is a girl, boyfriend and I decided on Alice Rose way early on.

Other girl names we considered were Cecelia, Angela, and Abigail.

We have NO idea what we'd name a boy. I want Timothy as a middle name, but every first name I suggest gets labeled as "too preppy."

mbgreenwalt · June 2011

We still had our boy name picked out from my first pregnancy, so that was easy.

We spent weeks coming up with a girl name. DH shot down every name I came up with except for 2. We are naming this baby Mia Elizabeth, our DD is Ellie Annmarie.

I also liked:

Quinn

Piper

Chloe

Lucy

Abbie

One of our daughters is going to be Charlotte also! Nickname Charlee.

We have NO clue. We are not even talking about it until we know the gender.

We have NO clue as well!! I had some boy names that I really liked: Liam, Landon, and Micah but it's so much harder for girl names!! I tend to be more fond of the unisex names. The only girl names that I like so far are Leah, Morgan, and Rylie (but it's opposite for us, my DH is not a fan of Rylie.) I also like Kennedy, Camryn, and Kendall but we already have friends or family members with those names, so they're out. I think it's just harder now because the pressure is on to choose a forever name for our LO.

Mrs.Greeko · June 2011

For this one we don't really have any names picked out yet. We've tossed around a couple, but I don't know how serious we really are about them.

With DD2 we only had a boy's name picked out, Alexander. So when we found out she was a girl we were totally thrown for a loop. We debated for a week or two and then decided to use the feminine version, Alexandra since it was a name we both liked.

We both love Charlotte too but I'm trying to stay away from anything really popular. I see Charlotte as really popular right now but I like it so much there is some chance we might still use it. Choosing two girl names is HARD!!!

My friend is due any day and naming her baby girl Riley Brooke Maybe you might like that!

BTIP10 · June 2011

I think we're having a girl and we've picked the name Georgia Anne. We can't agree on a boy name. I think we'll wait until we find out in two weeks and if we're having a boy start thinking again...
