Baby Names

mommynpink · August 2011

I know it's still early but has anyone begun thinking of names?

Have you and DH agreed on something already?

I'm obsessed with finding another girl name. I don't know why, but it's all that I can think about it. Crazy I know. We have two girls now and I love their names. We have a boy name picked out already. It's the girl names that we are stuck on. Both girls names start with A and we want that for our next one.

Anyone else crazy like me?

I have some names picked out but I'm keeping my lips zipped until after the baby is born. I don't want to know what people think of it, and I've heard most people aren't shy about giving you an opinion if the baby hasn't been born yet.

DH and I have had a google document of baby names going since before we were married. Not that he looks at it much.... Still nothing picked out for sure... maybe once I see that first ultrasound picture!

We've had a girl name picked out for about a year now. Boys names... well... let's hope it's a girl because we've been discussing boys names for a long time and haven't found any that we both like... We're going to find out if it's a boy or a girl though so we'll know ahead of time if we need to get serious with the boy name discussion.

We thought this would be so hard but ended up picking out both a girl name and a boy name. The girl name was so hard at first but then it was the first name we agreed on. The boy name I believe holds more importants since a boy usually doesn't change his name when he gets married. I wanted to make sure the boy named flowed really well. I already shared the names with my family and I am getting really good feedback. It's nice to know I have this checked off my list of things to do.

During my last pregnancy my DH and I read through an entire baby name book, and wrote down our favorite names. Before my due date, we went through the names and starred our personal favorites...and agreed on a name if our baby was a red headed boy. Well, he wasn't, so we named him something else (that hadn't even been starred, but it just worked for him!).

This time around I was so excited I got our list from last time, and we read it together, commenting on which ones we like more now. We'll probably go over the list more and add/subtract names. I think we've agree on a girl's name, though the middle name is still undecided.

I love names and think about them a lot, especially when pregnant :-)

We have decided our names - they will all start with B's.

For your A names these are my faves:

Ava

Abby

Asher for a boy

Aleigha

Annabelle

Arabella

Alivia

Hope some or one of these help

We have decide on a 1st and middle name if it is a boy. They are both family names, one from each side so there will be a lot of meaning. We haven't told anyone outside of our immediate family only because if some of my cousins caught wind of the name they would steal it! For a girl, we have a first name we like but can't decide on a middle name... I guess we still have time though

mustanglo · August 2011

I want to have 2 for each and then decide when it's born!

countrygrl5533 · August 2011

When friends of ours had a baby almost 2 years ago, we decided on names then.

JT325 · August 2011

We have discussed names on and off since we got married. With our first pregnancy, we pretty much settled on names. We have one for a boy and one for a girl.... We're going to be team green, so we'll find out in March!

Katy&KT · August 2011

We have! If we have a boy the name will some variation of Jack (John, Jack or Jackson) after our Grandfathers.

If we have a girl we have a much harder time..we have been going through lists and we don't seem to see anything we both like. Luckily we both like the same style of names so I have hope that we will agree on something!

mrshenderson081807 · August 2011

We used our favorite boy name with DS so now boy names are really hard for us. Our girl name is Carys!

TheBerdals · August 2011

Girl A names?

Audrey

Aubrey

Aurora

Ariah

Just a few of my faves : )

My husband and I both love the name Amaya, so the girls name is figured out. Boys names though are so hard. For Kellen we went through the entire baby name book and vetoed most of the book. Then we narrowed down the list to names we both liked and then created a top 10. Names that were on both lists made it to our final list, and finally my husband gave up and let me have the name Kellen :-)

Abby7 · August 2011

We haven't gotten that far yet. I am going to wait till the end because I know I'll change my mind after seeing the hundreds of names people come up with on here. Plus DH is so stubborn that I want to surprise him with my choices when we have a deadline rather than letting him veto them all now.

We are doing the same! My SIL waited until her son was born to tell her parents and even so her father (my FIL) said the name "Hugo" was offensive to his ears! I love the name, it's perfect for him.

For a girl middle name we want an A name. My sister, mom, MIL, and SIL's names all start with A. I came across Aliz and really like it. Sounds good with first and last names too!

I really like the name Amaya too, but I don't think my husband would. We have one girl and one boy name picked out...both are family-related, so it was an easy choice for us. We want more than one child, though, so next time around it might be a little more difficult to choose.

We have both of our names picked out

Simone Lynn & Evan Scott

GoldenGibson · August 2011

We have been working on baby names since we started dating. We definitely have a boy name, but only 1 and I'd like to have two choices so we can decide when the baby is born. I have a ton of girl names I like but DH doesn't like most of my faves.

That's a great idea!

lust2hart · August 2011

If our baby's a girl, she will be named Marinda, a combination of our deceased grandmothers' names, Mary and Olinda. A middle name has not been determined, but I like Renee.

We haven't decided on a boy's name but lately we've been considering Wyatt Owen.

nakianichole · August 2011

We've had a couple of discussions but were having a hard time agreeing.

I am not into naming babies after people at all and that's what my DH wants to do. We'll probably give the baby either his grandmother's or grandfather's first name as a middle name (or if we can agree on this, variations of their names as middle names). The other problem is that he's been leaning towards K names as the baby's first name. Our DS (mine biologically, his via adoption) has a K name. I almost feel that if we have 2 children with K names, any others we have would need to have K names too. I don't want to get stuck with the K name theme for all of our children. Weird, I know. Plus, our last name starts with a K.

Lots of stuff to work out. Lol. For the time being, we've both gone back to our respective corners to compile a list of names that we like. In a few weeks, we'll show each other our lists and start from there.

I'm not too worried though. We'll come up with names that we both absolutely love. And we've got plenty of time to do it.

FutureMrsOKD · August 2011

We had the list of "leftover" names from DS and, surprisingly, have nixed most of them. The new names I've tried to add, DH has vetoed already. It's gonna be a long time before this babe has a name, I think!
