Favorite boy names are Ewan, Garrett, and Cameron (and Lachlan but doesn't sound good with our last name).
Girls are harder, we may end up honoring my grandmother and going with Josephine (Josie) but it doesn't "match" the Scottish naming trend we have going on. Others we like are Jemma/Gemma, Isla, Maeve, and Maisie
"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasured day you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart...let me hold you while I may."
I have a boys name - Zackary but no girls names(there aren't many I can find I like). I want the MN to be my maiden name for either a boy or girl(it's a boys name so we'll see how DH feels about that!).
I will not share names with people irl before the birth - because, quiet frankly, I don't want their opinions!
This for me too! Since this will be my first I know my family members and friends with babies will all have an opinion and frankly I don't want them. The name is not their choice.
My husband and I were trying for 10 months before I got the news two weeks ago, so we had thought about names a lot. Zander Hugh (my dad's name) Barber for a boy, or Addison Wrigley Barber (Die hard cub fans) for a girl.
We picked out our names on Friday night. Coralyn Elizabeth for a girl and Owen Michael for a boy. We can't wait to find out which one we're having!
Owen Michael is the name we will use too! Owen for my first DH who passed when I was 24 and Michael because that is my current DHs middle name. It warms my heart to see Owen so popular now. It wasn't when my first DH was alive. We also have Jack Thomas for a boy. We want to be prepared since we transferred two embryos. For a girl we chose Amber Grace and Sara Jayne.
I have no idea. If it's another boy we're screwed - it was super hard for us to agree on DS1 name. For a girl we had Annebelle, but it doesn't feel right for this one.
For a girl, Lorelai Victoria. My husband is a junior, so if we have a son it will be Paul Anthony III. Not the huge fan of that name, So I would nickname him Trey.
I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:
We are completely set on Hillary Jean for a girl...however if its a boy (which I'm hoping for) we are in bad shape. DH LOVES names like Donald, Paul, Ben, etc...I like more unique names like Quinton, Mason, Dalton, Brock, and my favorite TUCKER!
For a girl, Lorelai Victoria. My husband is a junior, so if we have a son it will be Paul Anthony III. Not the huge fan of that name, So I would nickname him Trey.
If this one is a boy he will be Dallas Lee lastname III....and we will call him by his nickname...Trey....lol...that is so funny

Aww I love that name! We fell in love with Owen and Michael is for DFH's brother who died in a fire 5 years ago. We originally thought Richard but with the full name of Ricky Reilly, DFH was like "Oh hells no!" lol
I love your other names though! Esp the way you spell Jayne!
We're picking a first name we like and matching it with a family name for the middle name. We're thinking Weston William for a boy (William is a name from both of our families) and Ava Audrey after DH's grandma if it's a girl!
We're only sharing the names with close friends and family because we'd rather not hear the "my great-uncle's first cousin's best friend was bullied by someone named _____ in first grade" stories from ppl we don't know!
My husband and I have a girl name picked out, but not yet a boy's name! If it's a girl she will be named Renee. We have been trying to find a boy's name, but it is so much harder in my opinion!
For a girl, Lorelai Victoria. My husband is a junior, so if we have a son it will be Paul Anthony III. Not the huge fan of that name, So I would nickname him Trey.
Do you watch Gilmore Girls? Lorelai Victoria is the mom's character's first & middle name Love that show (and the name!)
Pretty sure if we have a boy we will name him Nolan. We have decided on Tatum and Harper for a girl. DH is leaning towards Harper because he is a huge Ben Harper fan and that wasn't even on my mind when I picked out the name... I just thought it was pretty. Having a hard time deciding between the two though because I have always really like Tatum too!
Re: Anyone already thinking names?
I'll give my names list! (It grows almost every day) We don't have one picked out yet.. and we're not telling anyone the final name until birth...

My DH has said no, but I would LOVE to name a child Banks or Sawyer. I have a few months to change his mind...
Nothing is set in stone. We do like names that are not trendy. DH doesn't even want to name LO until the arrival?? Don't know about that one...

I LOVE Brighton and Sullivan. Brighton has been one of my favorites for a LONG time. Unfortunately, DH is a no-go on both...
DH doesn't want to "jinx" this pregnancy by looking at names yet, which is silly because we are going to be working off the same list we had before.
I will not share names with people irl before the birth - because, quiet frankly, I don't want their opinions!
Boy: Ryan Cole or Jack Arthur/Andrew
Girl: Charlotte (I am leaning towards this today), Clara, Ella, or Sophia - m.n. Juliette for all

This for me too! Since this will be my first I know my family members and friends with babies will all have an opinion and frankly I don't want them. The name is not their choice.

We have our two names all picked...
Girl: Annabelle June
Boy: Liam Robert
Boy: Nolan Andrew- DH's middle name is Andrew. It also would have been DD's name had she been boy.
Girl: probably Colbie Patricia - Patricia is after DH's mom and my grandmother. This name is not set in stone though so who really knows.
I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:
Baby RJ, born 1/25/2014
Formerly Twilightmv
If this one is a boy he will be Dallas Lee lastname III....and we will call him by his nickname...Trey....lol...that is so funny

** First time momma **
Girl- Charlotte Harper, or I may use Harper as the first name.
Boy- August (Augie), Abram, Derrick, or Henry
I know what my favorites are right now but we have yet to really discuss it. I think after we find out the sex we will talk about it more.
I'm only thinking girls names because I will NOT be having another boy...lol!
Avery Josephine or Chelsea Josephine
