Your baby's name...

I know we did this before they were born, but it's sort of fun to revisit... How did you come up with your baby(ies) name(s)? Does the name fit the personality? Are you calling them by a nickname? Anyone have name regrets?

Re: Your baby's name...
We have always called her Kaley Bear but now its mostly shortened to Bear. Pretty sure she will grow up thinking her really name is Kaley Bear.

I wanted an Irish name, I wanted it to be "different" but still be a real name...I have loved the name Declan for like 15 years but it had a sudden spike in popularity which really turned me off. Bummer but it soured the name for me, I dis
I wanted to answer Kross's question about the girls names. I wrote a post on the baby names board before they were born and got some negative feedback, but I didn't care. Julie is sort of an oldie (but goodie) and Kaylin is more modern.
I have a
We really don't have a great story behind ours....we just kept throwing out names and both liked Lucas Henrik.
We both call him Lukey, which I'm sure he'll grow out of at some point and then we'll just call him Luke.
I call him Pumpk

My husband and I had an agreement if we had a boy I would name him and if we had a girl he would get to choose. He won
He decided on the name Anzleigh. I think it is perfect and fits her well.
We call her Anz for short sometimes.</P
We didn't finalize her name until she was born. I liked Lilianna and dh liked Sonja. I always knew she'd come out with dark hair and that Lilianna wouldn't fit her.. I picture a Lilianna with blonde hair. So once she was out with her full hea

No regrets. We wanted something different but not so different that no one had heard of it. MH and I are both middle named Lee Leigh.
My poor child has soo many nicknames. His most popular is Brantman. We sing Nanana
All of these stories are so sweet, mine makes me look like a crazy person.
After a few Irish carbombs last new years eve, I jokingly told DH that if I got pregnant that night, we would name the baby Bailey Jamison. When I took a pregnancy test
DD1 is Lyla Grace. August Rush was a favorite movie of ours at the time, and the main character is Lyla Novacek. DH picked the MN--he always wanted a little girl named Grace, but I didn't want to use it as a FN since it was so popular. 
Ds is Cameron William. I really liked James Sullivan, but MIL said she didn't like it, it was too "Irish Catholic", so then DH didn't like it. DH has Scottish heritage so we picked a Scottish first name, Cameron. William is after my g
Both family names.
Sophie Kay - she totally fits it, and I like to call her "SophieKay" if she is being crazy ::Smile:: and DH calls her Sofa-Loaf because he said one day when I called her Soph that it reminded him of a Sofa... it kinda stuck! She likes silly names like

Peyton's name was just after months of not agreeing we somehow found on that stuck. His middle name is Mark, after both my DH and my dad.
Raylan's name is after the hotty mctotty Raylan on Justified....but not because we want him to be a sl

We've got a Clara Joy. We wanted something "non-trendy" and both loved my great grandmother's name. Joy is after my MIL.
We call her Clare or Clare Bear a lot. It definitely fits her to a T... she is really girly!
We chose Alexis bailey, because I wanted the initials abc and I liked both names and they go together. It has been a tradition for the girls in my family to have alphabetical initials. My mom was EFG. I was KLM, so I wanted her to be
We named DD2 after my grandmother. I don't particularly love the name, but I do like it, and it was my favorite of all the ones we had to choose from. (F is a VERY difficult letter!). Now it's growing on me and I can't see her as a
We were team green so we had to come up with two different names. Luckily we had a boy because his name we settled on in June of last year. He was born in September (11 days early!). We settled on his first name, Spencer, after going

We wanted a name from the bible, and our last name ends with "ie" so it ruled out anything ending with y, i, ie, etc. We both loved Rebekah, decided on it years ago.
My regret is that I have no idea what we will name another girl if we have
We don't have a fun story really...when we found out we were pregnant, we started throwing out names for boys and girls. Literally every name I suggested, DH hated. Once we found out it was a boy, we had a couple of names but none that we both just lov
DD1 is Maren Elizabeth--Maren is for MIL (Martha) who passed away a few years ago and we both liked the name Elizabeth and the way it flowed with Maren. Oddly she shares a birthday with a good friend of mine, Elizabeth! We are nickname heavy in our hou
DS2 is Luke Todd. I like short names without nicknames, and Luke was the only one we could agree on! I really like C and K names, but DS1 is Carter, and any C name with it sounded too matchy matchy, so we went with Luke.
I wasn't crazy abou
LO is Leo Henry...Leo, after my grandmother Leona. Henry after Henry Rearden in Atlas Shrugged.
I think it fits him, but I also think he could be a Ryan, which was our 2nd choice.
He has a million nicknames but none really related to
The boys are Andrew Lincoln and Will Thomas. Andrew is my dad's middle name, and the first name of his grandfather. I've always loved the name. My husband was raised in Lincoln County, Maine, so that's why we used that. I always wanted a boy named Andr
DH and I both have first names that start with Ca so everyone joked that our kids should too.
With DS I liked the name Cade but we moved and apparently there is a well known family in a neighboring city with the same last name so everyone asked i
