What names are you holding on to for future kids?

nicki731 · October 2012

Kind of random since we aren't planning on TTC for at least another year, but I am on a name kick and wondered what names you ladies are thinking of for any future kiddos

DS is Gavin, our last name starts with a B and rhymes with Biker.

For a future boy, I think I like Jude, Elliott, Everett, Liam, or Owen.

I have a tougher time with girl names, but maybe Stella Jane (mn is family name) or Audrey Cameron (mn is family name). But I'm not nearly as sold on our girls names, they just aren't totally clicking with me.

What are your names?

kagl08 · October 2012

I really like Owen and Audrey best with Gavin. Great names!

We are done with kids. If we were to have had a 3rd it would have been Connor Lawrence [MN is DH's dads MN] or Emma Claire. I'm sad we won't be using those names but not sad about not having a 3rd.

AngLK987 · October 2012

Names on our list:

boys - Drake Everett & Declan Scott (however there were just 2 Declan's born in my town to friends of mine, and my sister's soon-to-be nephew on her H's side is going to be Declan... so that would make my sister have 2 Declan nephews... not that we're related so I don't much care, but something to think about)

girl- Ruby Lee.

michpedelle85 · October 2012

We want 2 more kids... if they are girls, it will be Penelope Grace and we will call her Penny and then Annabell (not sure of middle name yet)

If they are boys, it will be Gunnar Thomas and Liam (not sure of middle name yet)

mrsgabus · October 2012

Well for a boy my brother suggested Jack daniels, Since we have a somewhat unintentional rotation of names.

Dylan lawrence

Then Levi John

So next would be JD

for a girl Lori Anne

Jazzym12 · October 2012

If we were to ever have anymore kids we only have a boys name picked out. It would be Eli William. If we had a girl she probably wouldn't have a name until she was born.

LCass · October 2012

We decided on two boy names and two girl names years ago. So if we have another daughter, she'll be Isabelle (Belle for short), although DH isn't sure he likes it anymore. And our boy names are Samuel and then Richard.

anasazi17 · October 2012

Since this is a current topic in our house I have a few The only problem is that most of our girl names have been taken by either family or pets...

Girls-Ruby (taken by cousin), Lucy (My mom named her dog), Analeigh (MH thinks it's to close to Ashlynn so it's a no). So, we really don't have any.

Boys-MH is dead set on Victor Vaughn...so once again I will be praying for a girl.

CMonkey515 · October 2012

If we have another boy he'll almost definitely be Emmett. We do also like Ethan, Miles, and Silas, though. We can never seem to find a girl name that we love. The best we've come up with are Lydia, Nora, Eden, Paige, and Noelle. We can't decide which of those we like best. Middle names are up in the air too.

mamaZbo · October 2012

Boy would be Xavier Sedo

Girls would be Cecily, Arielle, Adelle or Adelaide. Middle names are TBD.

DoctorWorm222 · October 2012

DH insists that his next child will be male and his name will be James Patrick.

I wanted Gator to be Phoebe or have the middle name Penelope. But recently my friend had a Phoebe and since Gator has been born, I can't get past the Kardashian craze and they ruined Penelope for me. We didn't use them for Gator in the end because I caved to SO. So I was going to put them on the list for number two....but now I am not. SO wants Matilda if we have another girl. I am really undecided what I want. I have a current love with Fiona but think of Shrek. Haha! I also like Willa. For a boy, I love the name Everett and SO likes Oskar....which Gator would have been an Oskar if she was a boy.

It's really all up in the air though. We were team green and walked into the hospital with 19 names with the plan to spend time with the baby before naming. She was born and I named her while highly drugged, ten minutes later. We have a strong German last name that starts with a "K", so we try and stay away from "C" and "K" names.

Nita2603 · October 2012

Abigail for a girl.

We are out of boy names.

Liz4444 · October 2012

Boy Maurice Tal
Girl Mila, Morgan, Maura, or Mara and possibly Tamar as a middle name, definitely something with a T

thetheisens · October 2012

Girls' names I have on the back burner are Daphne Violet, Hazel Vivian, and Genevieve Margot or some combination of those names. Boys I have no idea, I draw a blank. I like Joaquin and dh thinks it's terrible. The bad part is I don't think I will have a daughter to name, I think we will have another boy.

lkm2006 · October 2012

We found out next Wednesday (the 17th) what this little one is.

Boy will be Thomas Reed and girl is Caroline Jean.

ally510 · October 2012

This is a recurring debate in my house these days. A boy will be Nicolas Blake (Nicolas after MH's father who passed away). A girl might be Emma if MH gets his way. I like Amelia and Annabelle, but he nixed them. Since I won the great name debate with DD (Payton Valles...mn is a family name), I have to be more flexible this time around. I'm team green, so we have 7 months to figure it out.

cantalopes24 · October 2012

For a boy I want Donovan Emory family names NN would be Van. My other kids are Ethan Raymond and Lola. Margaret. No clue on girls names.We're hoping the next ones a boy.

blu-eyedwife · October 2012

If LBB was a girl he'd have been Eleanor Pearl, but we'll see if we still love it next time around.

Our top 3 girls' names are Eleanor, Amelia, and Hazel. Our top 3 boys names are Callum, Felix, and August

pennysuedog · October 2012

I love August, It was on our list and I told everyone...but my SIL used it first, in the form of Augustan, so it got scratched.

Scramblersmom · October 2012

The only name I can think of is Sloan. I wanted to name DS Sloan if he was going to be a girl but DH was not fond of it at the time. My cousin has already taken my boy names (Zach, Jake, and Chris) and I named my dog my other favorite girl's name which is Emma. Aside from Sloan the names have already be spent.

ETA: DS's name is a family Irish surname with the "O" removed. DH is Norwegian but all of the names in that category sucked big time (at least the ones we saw).

sharksfan · October 2012

Our girl name is Adeline Virginia, after both of our grandmothers.

My top boy name (if you ask me today) right now is Miles, and DH's is Gareth, so I'm thinking Miles Gareth....

Junebug060609 · October 2012

If #2 is a boy, he will be Samuel Dean.

If #2 is a girl, we've got some figuring out to do...

Shannon526 · October 2012

If this one is a boy, we will have a family name for both his first and mn ... but I'm not sure if it would be Andrew Charles, or Charles Andrew.. still up for debate. And hey, even that may change come delivery lol.

If it's a girl, we probably won't name her until she is born.. with L, we went in to the hospital with about 10 girls names and just went down the list to see which one suited her best. I'm not sure if this is my hormones talking, but I also liked Charlie for a girl.. but we'll see.

colliebabe · October 2012

DD would have been Jack if she were a boy, and if we ever have a boy he will be Jack.

Super I love Tessa so much! That was our runner up and would be used for another girl, but then my cousin stole it 4 months after DD was born. Phoebe is about the only other girl name we can agree on.

Elsa1984 · October 2012

Gator's name is Greta! We got a lot of negativity towards that name at first so it was making me second guess it. On the name boards on the bump, people were also staying it was too harsh. I'm glad she was named Greta though because we didn't want something popular or cutesy. And I would love to use Alice if I ever had another girl but my friend recently used it and its my grandma's name...and although I love my grandma, I don't want to name my kid after her....but she would always say the baby was named after her.

Oh and I forgot to add that opinions on the bump naming page seemed to have changed. Last year seeing Greta on there was rare and it was all negative comments. This year it is different as I have seen Greta posted four or five times in the past few months and the comments are positive.

jwls84 · October 2012

For a girl I am leaning towards Sadie or Hadley.
If it were another boy we would have a hard time, our second pick name was Evan but my friend named her son that. It was the only other name we agreed on for a boy.

joolz17 · October 2012

The only girl name we could agree on was Beatrix so that will probably be the girl name if it's a girl, with my middle name. A boy, who knows. I bring 3 to 5 names to the table and my husband and I talk them out.
