Boy: Lincoln we're set on, mn probably either Bradlee (DH's dad's first and middle combined) or David (my dad's middle). I love the sound of Lincoln Bradlee, but think it might be a bit of a mouthfull.
Girl: Undecided, but so far we like- Millie, Gwen, Lily (but soooo popular!), Lucy and I love Ellie, but can't sell DH on the full versions of that (Eleana, Elnora, etc).
These are still at the top of our lists, but we have quite a few other contenders!
Girl name: Lorelei (I'm probably going to get some flack for this, but the nn we like for this name is a boy's name, Eli. I'm just not a big fan of all the other nn that could be associated with it. I was always a bit of a tomboy growing up and hated my name.)
Girl name: Gemma Violet (Violet was my grandmother's name)
Boy name: Orlando Joseph (We went back and forth between Orlando and Leonardo, and even though the ladies on the names board liked Leonardo better, we ultimately decided on Orlando. I'm not sold on Joseph so we'll see)
DD's name is Violet. We were set on Gemma before finding out we were pregnant, and actually considered Gemma Violet before deciding to make Violet the first name.
Married to my best friend 6/5/10
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
Girl name: Gemma Violet (Violet was my grandmother's name)
Boy name: Orlando Joseph (We went back and forth between Orlando and Leonardo, and even though the ladies on the names board liked Leonardo better, we ultimately decided on Orlando. I'm not sold on Joseph so we'll see)
DD's name is Violet. We were set on Gemma before finding out we were pregnant, and actually considered Gemma Violet before deciding to make Violet the first name.
We love Gemma! DH is Italian, but adopted and we don't have an Italian last name. Gemma is Italian but not overtly Italian that it would clash with our last name. Same for Orlando.
These are still at the top of our lists, but we have quite a few other contenders!
Girl name: Lorelei (I'm probably going to get some flack for this, but the nn we like for this name is a boy's name, Eli. I'm just not a big fan of all the other nn that could be associated with it. I was always a bit of a tomboy growing up and hated my name.)
Boy Name: William (Liam)
I love Lorelei. This is a name I desperately want to use but DH has a bad association with it. Bummer!
Girl name: Ava Emilie (My mom's mom, my mom, me, my niece, my niece's mom, my dad's mom all have first names with A. My dad's middle name is Emilio and mine is Emilia, so Emilie! Makes me happy just thinking about it.)
Boy name: Miguel Andres (DH is named after his grandfather, and he wanted to name a boy after him as well, so that's the first name. And since we were naming after grandfathers, we put my grandfather's as the middle name!)
Girl name: We're a bit indecisive on the girl names... the middle name's been set for years, since it's a family name (my mom, cousin, and two nieces share the same middle name, which was my grandmother's name)
Boy Name: This one has actually been completely set for years. My grandfather's first name (which is also my brother's middle name) and my FIL's first name as a middle name.
::The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar that even the ultimate fullfillment of that hope cannot fully erase:: Thomas Hardy
I love Hadley! Makes me think of Hadley Cove off the coast of Cape Cod. This may still be a contender for us. We were thinking maybe an H name since right now our family consists of me (Heather) our dog (Hannah) and DH. So DH always refers to us as his Hs - figured we might need to keep it going if its a girl!
Currently we like Norah, Alice, or Lainey (mn Noelle) for a girl and Eli, Oliver, or Noah (mn Robert) for a boy. We have a long list started and our favorites are always changing, lol.
Re: Have you picked out any names yet?
Girl: Charlotte, Olivia, Victoria, Sophia, Jillian, Annabella
Boy: Harrison, Liam, Henry...but not sure?
