Wishful thinking poll - Names
Does everyone have names picked out for their imaginary babies? I obsessively think about them and my imaginary nursery. If it isn't too painful to share, what are your favorite boy and girl names?
Boy - Tyler
Girl - Layne

Re: Wishful thinking poll - Names
I used to be super secretive about names, but since I don't seem to be getting knocked up anytime soon, I'll share
Boy: Ian or Sam
Girl: Audrey or Samantha
(the nn same sounds really excellent with DH's last name)
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
I don't think DH is totally on board with these, but if it were just up to me:
Boy: Paul
Girl: Claire
My blog: Making Me Mom
Gavin - which is definitely our boy name
Alice or Georgia after my grandmother and DH's father, respectively. DH doesn't like either of those and we can't agree on a girl's name - we're destined to only have girls.
Sure do!
Boy: Logan, Nolan and Avery (middle name christopher for my dh)
Girl: Faith, Sydney,Grace and Aubrey
I've had it planned out forever. Luckily, none of my friends who each have 2 or 3 kids used them.
Boy: Ryan Scott
Girl: Alexa Brynne or Alexa Marie
I feel the same way!
Boy: Hampton Elijah
Girl: Aubrey Madelyn
We have them! We wanted to use Audrey for a girl (my grandmother's name) but my sister beat us to it. We also wanted Chloe, but our good friends are due with a girl in March and are using Chloe:(~
Here is where we stand right now:
Girl- Hannah
Boy- Asher
Boy - Christian Javier (Javier being Dh's name)
Girl - Cecilia Maria (Marie being my MN)
"If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" -- Jimmy Buffett
I'm usually pretty secretive to, but what the hell!
Girl: Kinley, Ellianna, Charlie
Boy: Benjamin, Lane
Yes, of course.
Boy - Carter Christopher
Girl - Caden Regina - maybe - always change my mind - but no matter what - the middle name will be Regina - after my mother.
Twin boys - Carter Christopher and Collin John
Twin girls - ???
I also like for boys names - Logan and Cooper
Girls names I like are Leah, Layla, Tea, Madeline
Boy- Samuel (Sam)
Girl - Sarah
One can hope... :-)
What a fun poll!
Girl- Claire, Caralaina, or Emily (Middle name Elizabeth after both my mother and I)
Boy- Tyler (My DH is partial to Tyler), Max, Nolan, Ben (We don't have middle names yet)
Me too! Seriously, that was a very good post idea. Very happy!
We haven't settled on a girl's name but if we have a boy, it will be Dean after my father-in-law. If we have two boys (talk about wishful thinking), then the second name will be Nicholas. I love that name.
ha! of course we have names.... but only for boys. dh comes from a very boy-dominant family (there are only like 3 girls in 3 generations and like 20 children among the men in his family). so we have no girls names.
but our favorite boy names are brandon and harrison.
Because we're fancy like that.
Girl: Amelia or Meredith (my mom is Mary .. his is Judith..) or Ellis. dh likes it alot and sounds good with our vowel-y last name
Boy: Henry or Miles
BabyFoodScoops Blog
Our Family Blog
We do! I hope I can use one of them soon...
Girl: Analeigh Lucy and/or Lily Joan
Boy: Benjamin Charles and/or Charles Ferdinand
(I prepare for twins...again, wishful thinking!)
Great poll!!
Girl: Avery
Boy: Carter
When we first started trying I have names picked out. Kyle for a boy and Sydney for a girl. Well my friend beat me to the punch and both her children have 'my' names... yes both in the same family.
Then I fell in love with the name Alyssa and yep - you guessed it - taken!
So long story short I stopped thinking seriously about names, a few have popped in my head but nothing I am super attached to.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I love picking out names, and honestly DH & I talked names before we even started TTC!!!
Girl - Elena Paige or Livia Bri
Boy - We can't decide... DH likes Connor, but I have a cousin named that. I love Ethaniel, Liam, and Nathan. I'd love to have the middle name of my dad but I think my step dad would be upset... Erg... So we don't have these ones hammered out yet

Edited - I keep thinking of more things to share:
Girl: might use first name of egg donor (if it's not awful) as the mn for a girl
Boy: will probably use my last name as mn for a boy
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
We've had our names picked out since before we got married...
Girl:
Vivian Kate (almost 100% sure we will use this one if we have a girl)
Katharina Elena
Natasha Lauren
If we had twin girls, it'd be Vivian Kate (or Sophia) depending on if we used Katharina or Natasha as the second name
Boy:
Sebastian Charles -- the ONLY name we 100% agree on, and we think some friends are using Sebastian for their boy due in February. DH flipped out when he heard. I told him we could use it anyway since they live out of town.
Benjamin
Isaac
Graeme
Logan
boy- tyler, oliver, simon, justin, ian
girl- olivia, jana?
awww, so many cute names :-)
we like family names
boy: he will be an IV - Jack
girl: Mabel (Maebel?)
if we have 2 boys: noah and max are also in the running :-)
Girl...Josephine
Boy...Andrew
These are just the 2 I'm really stuck on right now and haven't been used by any friends or family.
My DH would love to name a boy Santino (aka Sunny) and girl Anna Marie. My DH is 100% Italian.
This is so much fin!
Girl - Adelynn Laurel and Joselyn Elizabeth
Boy - Garrett Hayes (my maiden name and beloved former dead OSU coach) and Henry ("Hank") - after Andy's grandpa
Yes, We have names picked out too. I suffer silently as I watch them get taken.
But..
Boy: Jack Thomas (Thomas is DH's father's name)
Girl : Sophie Lyn or Samantha Lyn - Lyn is in honor of my deceased mom Carolyn
I love seeing everyone's choices too!
The names we like this month are:
Boy: Gabriel Scott, Samual Scott (Scott is DHs middle name)
Girl: McKenzie, Annaleigh (I see someone liked this one too), not sure on mn yet
Favorite Girls Names: Madeline, Elizabeth, Catherine
Favorite Boys Names: James, Christopher, Ian
I love classic/old fashioned names.
ETA:
We'll name a girl an M first name (Madeline) and my middle name
A boy will be Christopher and DH's grandfather's first name
I love these polls!!!
Girl: Malena, Bailey or Cole
Boy: Ethan, Sebastian (My gm's name was Sebastiana) or Declan
we like the name max for a boy (but both our first names and last name start with M, and we don't want to be "that couple).
for girl, emmi phaye.
I love the name Layne for a girl!!! So precious.
I am imagine all the time, as well.
Boy: Constantine Alexander (nn-Conor)
Girl: Rhealina Kathleen (I made Rhealina (ray-lina) up...its a combo of a family name on my side (Rhea) and my mother-in-law's name (Lina). I know its pretty different, but I fell in love with it and it has meaning)
Both of my names are kind of weird, but my husband's from Russia and it was impossible trying to find names we both like.
yes we've had the girl name picked out since we were just married
Girl: Elizabeth or Elisabeth Grace
Boy: Noah Matthew
If we had twin boys or girls
I like for the 2nd girl/boy name
Girl: Leah Raye or Leah Faith
Boy: Jackson Kevin (after FIL)
Oh, don't feel wierd, I had mine picked out way before I even TTC! Mine are both common names but spelt different for special reasons...plus, we have a very short, common last name so we can get a little creative with the first names.
Girl: Haley Eileen...my mom's name is Maley (VERY unique) and she's my best friend in the whole world. Replaced with an "H" because that's what my madien name starts with. So I'd please both sides of the family. Always a good thing! Eileen is my DH's grandmother's name. She is an amazing woman and I think it goes well together.
Boy: Rian Michael...my DH's name is Brian. He actually suggested this one because he doesn't like "Jr.'s" but liked this idea. He thought I'd never go for it, and was overjoyed when I told him I liked it too. Michael is my brother's name who's battling cancer right now...it would mean SO much to him and I just love that name because of him!
I've thought about posting this so many times, but wasn't sure it was appropriate - I'm glad you did!!
Boy - Lucas (Luke) Joseph (Joseph after my papa)
Girl - I always planned on Hailey Kate, but now I'm leaning way more towards Audrey. Not sure if Audrey Kate or something else.
I think about my future kids' names all the time...I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one!
Boy - Ethan
Girl - Marley or Arden
Girls - Sofia, Elizabeth, Grace, Charlotte (I better have twins or something)
Boys - still debating I like Ian Dh hates it.
I've had a list since I was 12 of the names I like, though it's changes many times. Here's my top faves:
GIRL: Henna (love, love this name, DH hates it!!), Anabelle, Harper
BOY: Elliot, Issac,
I'll probably not pick out a name officially until I've "met" the baby though. I feel like a name will just feel right.
