Let's talk baby names.

sucrets4 · July 2012

Because you know you're already thinking about them!

My fave girl name atm is Coralee Ann. Ann is both our mom's MNs and MIL's first name is Lea. I don't think just Cora would sound as good with DD's name - Emmalynn Helene. Our last name is suuuuuper generic and boring, so DH wanted to have more interesting names.

For boys, I thought we had agreed on Connor Allen before knowing DD was a girl, but apparently DH changed his mind. Both DH and FIL have Allen as a mn, so I'm assuming that a son would have it, too. I just don't like boy names as much and find it's more difficult to come up with something we both like.

What do you love lately?

I am a baby name book junky and I have been picking names for future children since I was in grade five! I wouldn't say we have anything concrete quite yet but at the time being we are thinking Calvin James for a boy and Isla Elizabeth. I am sure we will come up with others and our minds will change but, for now that is what we like.

CityBee:
Oh my gosh. I have been thinking baby names forever! The Baby Name Board is like crack to me lol I think we are pretty set on Dean for a boy, but aren't sure about middle names. I agree, boy names are much harder for us.
I love way too many girl names, but at the moment I'm loving Greta, Matilda, Ramona, and June. I fear that I will change my mind all the way up until baby is born! My name list is in my siggy if anyone wants to look and/or vote.
I really like your name choices sucrets! I especially like Connor Allen.
ETA: Fixed wall of text.

I like Dean!

And Greta is my fave out of those 4.

I'm so happy with DD's name - I love all of the nicknames that people have come up with for her. The only annoying thing is that people think I'm saying Emily when I introduce her to them, but whatever. Most of the time I just introduce her as Emma these days.

How does your H feel about your names? Once I decided on DD's name (and H said he liked it), I gave up and told him it will be that unless he does the work and comes up with something better. :evilgrin: It worked.

APrice4UT · July 2012

CityBee - Matilda is on my list too. I love it!

So girl names:

Alice
Annalise
Lila
Molly

And boy names (much tougher for us):

Maxwell
Elijah
Gabriel
Theodore

aWm2010 · July 2012

We decided a long time ago on a girl name. It will be Abbie. Not 100% sure on the middle name, but DH wants to use my middle name.. Marie.

We cannot agree on a boy name. We do know that the middle name will be his and his dad also has same middle name.. Ray.

Two of my top picks had been: Ethan (which DH doesn't like) and Gavin (which he said is okay).

ChloBub · July 2012

I'm pretty sure we've already got them picked, but here are my favorites right now:

Girls:
Elizabeth
Anna
Charlotte
Claire

Boys:
Jude
Micah
Liam
Caleb

jle625 · July 2012

ATM we both like Halyn for a girl and our boy choices are Kylar, Reed, or Hoyt. We're a little different.

Ch3ls3ab0t · July 2012

Hmmm.... Out of the few that I've read on here, I like Liam, Elijah, and Dean.

My husband and I are pretty set on Alyss Vivian for a girl. Alyss after a character in my favorite book series. I also like Molly (from the same series lol). We think it's a cute name with a neat spelling. Vivian was my great grandmother's middle name and she was the strongest, bravest, toughest, most loving and caring woman I've ever known. And I much prefer Vivian to her first name (Etta). For boys, the only name that I really like atm is Benjamin. Possibly Tirian. A middle name option is Lucas (after my brother who is one of the sweetest young men you'll ever meet). Glad to have some new ideas. :].

kparker83 · July 2012

We decided on all family names:

Boy: Parker Ivan Alan (Parker = my maiden name, Ivan = my dad's middle name, Alan = hubby and FIL middle name)

Girl: Lila Dawn Lee (Lila = my great grandma's name, Dawn = my and my mom's middle name, Lee = MIL midd name)

Sound ok??

mrandmrsbrist · July 2012

We have mn's picked out, lol. Margrethe (Mar-gret-uh, Norwegian) after MIL and Francis after my grandfather.

First names we're looking at:

Boys:
Henry
Jack
Oliver
Samuel
Thomas

Girls:
Caroline
Elise
Esther
Laura
Susanne

cookmandy89 · July 2012

I know my hubby and i have been talking about baby names before we even found out im pregnant lol. For a boy we decided on Colton Michael. Colt for short. If its a girl we are going to name her Kylie Marie. It took us awhile to find a great baby boy name that was to both our liking but we finally found one!

theLeenie · July 2012

DH and I like Elaina and Vivienne/Viviana for a girl. Rowan or Gavin for a boy.

we also change our mind every week so I'm sure this will be different in a few months!

onlymeggan · July 2012

The names are already decided.

If it is a boy, his name will be Anderson Lewis.... which is a combination of my maiden name and my mom's maiden name. We agreed to let DH name our son, Jeffrey, after both of his grandfathers (as he was), so we agreed to represent my side of the family more prominently and he liked the name.

If it is a girl, we have a name picked out, but as of now, we have told no one what it is. I will say this much, we are naming our first daughter after her great grandmothers, well the 2 that are still with us.

EDIT: grammar that just bugged me.

Heartstrings13 · July 2012

We always liked Connor, but now it feels like I bump into a Connor daily and it's losing its appeal. I also like Logan and Liam.

We'd never agreed on a girl's name until a few days after BFP. We like Sawyer. But that will probably change before baby comes. I also love Harper and we both like Emily. Middle name will be a family name.

HappySweetLuv · July 2012

My DH and I keep going back and forth on names, it mostly my fault, LOL, I can't seem to make up my mind, but as of right now these are the ones we have so far:

Boys:

Lucas Michael or Lucas Jacob

Evan Michael (Michael is my DHs middle name)

Girls:

Alyssa Sophia

Miabella Sophia (my favorite so far, DH, not so much)

happy_un-bride · July 2012

DH really wants John David, after both our fathers. I think it's too plain. I would prefer Joseph John.

My favourite is Jocelyn Jean, but DH is sticking with a name that I had liked years ago; Charlotte Jean.

What do you love lately?

At the risk of sounding somewhat stalker-ish (ok, VERY stalker-ish) I was on P&E (when it was P&E) on the knot, mostly a lurker, when you were on there and pregnant with Emmalynn. I can't believe she's two! She's beautiful!

I have two girl names picked out (in case of twins, it runs it my family and due to IVF, that risk goes up more), Adalyn Mary, (Mary after my great-grandmother who lived to be 102 and was a fabulous woman) and Alayna Inez (Inez after my dad's mother who died when he was 19, I never met either of his parents).

The only boys name we have right now is Hudson James (James after my dad). I also had Owen Bayleigh (Bayleigh is DH's dad's middle name) but DH nixed Owen because he knows an Owen that he hates.

MalloryD3613 · July 2012

First, thank you for all the ideas! I think I jotted five more names into both the boy and girl columns of my names list

Right now my faves are:

Boy - Cohen, Donovan, Grady, Sullivan, Milo (DH only likes Grady out of that list)

Girl - Cordelia, Moira, Ione (totally got flamed for that one on the names board), Sidney, Marcy

kellyrn9956 · July 2012

Girls:

Catherine June (Cate) - my mom's name is Cathy and MIL middle name is June

Beatrice Louise

Hannah Clementine or Hannah Claire - most of my family makes fun of Clementine

Those are my tops. Boys are harder.

Henry James (James is late grandfather's name)

Kevin Theodore (Teddy) - my H is Kevin

Boysenberry · July 2012

Girl:

Josephine McGowan Iris

Boy:

Henry Tudor Erasmus

Hi!! Your sn looks familiar! Holy crap, the days of P&E were soooo long ago. I pop on to E occasionally and barely recognize anyone anymore.

Congrats on your bfp! When are you due?

My cousin named his DD Adalyn and I love it! Alayna is nice, too. And I love names that have meanings. :-) Both of DH's grandma's are Evelyn, but his cousins had already claimed it. So, Emmalynn is close. And Helene is for my mom's mom who passed away when my mom was 11.

I like your boy names, too. Why are they so much more difficult?? Ugh. It's also hard since I'm a teacher, so I think of certain kids with certain names.

Good to see you and GL with your pregnancy!

mrsg827 · July 2012

I was hoping someone would bring this topic up! I love reading everyones ideas, makes me feel like a kid again picking out names for my dolls, except oh-so-much more real!! Sorry I'm a dork like that.

So far our boy name which we are set on is Gabriel, I absolutely love that, and it goes perfect with our last name. DH likes that we would call him Gabe.

As for a girl, we wanted to try to find a G name as well.... we were kind of thinking Giuliana -- like Giuliana Rancic from E! network;) haha. I like the sound of it.

Who knows though, I'm sure we could possibly run across something that could change our minds.

Oh and middle names -- Gabriel Michael (DH's name), or Gabriel Thomas (my father's name)..... Guiliana Kathryn (my Mother's name)... and we have tossed around using a name from his side also.

GrangerWifey · July 2012

We have a boy name picked out no problem. Girl names seem to be way more difficult for us to agree on!

For a boy, we'll go with Carter Wayne (Wayne is my dad's name) and we'll really have to look at some name books for girls. The only thing we both really agree on for a girl name is Avery or Anabella (Bella for short), although we both have A names and worry that might be a little corny.

My girl list includes:

Raegan Diane (MIL's name is Rae Ann and my mom is Diane)
Meredith Diane
Juliana Rae (DH doesn't love this)
Madison Diane
Genevieve Diane (DH hates this one lol)

I can't decide if I want something a little more trendy or more traditional.

BabyRN2006 · July 2012

Girls: Emma, Stella, Claire, Lola, Nora

Boys: Henry, Liam, Keith, Tyler

We are pretty much decided though, Emma Lynn or Henry Lee. Both middle names are family names. I absolutely hate nicknames so we are choosing names that cannot be nicknamed easily (For example, I love Joshua but hate Josh, and I love Lucas but hate Luke, so those names are out).

Cool names!

yankcrazy · July 2012

my name, my grandmother's and great grandmother's names are/were all flowers. My mothers name was Linda and Lynn is my middle name so we came up with Lily Marilyn (my husband loved it because of the Munster's connection), but I've become more partial to Violet Marilyn

No clue on a boy name yet, but my husband thinks that Walter is a good name, never going to happen...

greenMama79 · July 2012

girl: first choice is Roselyn. Other girl names that I like are Amarys and Josalyn

boy: Abram or Asa

still brainstorming middle names

Kristi221 · July 2012

We have a Mackenzie Elizabeth already so I'm trying to find names that of well with that. I like Madison and Hannah for girls and Jackson or Mason for boys.

I've popped on E too and don't recognize anyone. There are a few left that moved on to snarky brides though.

My EDD is March 7! Very excited! I agree boy names are very difficult! I'm a teacher too and there are some names I've always liked but not a chance now! I hate that too!

Beth64 · July 2012

We decided on our favorite names before we were pregnant hehe -

Boy: Aiden Henry (Henry after my dad who passed away)

Girl: Juliana Grace (Middle name may be changed)

erpetdoc · July 2012

We have a name pattern picked out. DH's name begins with an M. My name begins with an A. For girls, names will have the initials A.M. For boys, names will have the initials M.A. Our daughter is Addison Marie. We have a second girl name and a boy name already picked out for this baby.
