(sorry if this has been done already)
What are your favourites so far?
Does anyone have their names picked out already?
Are you finding it easy or challenging to agree with your partner?

Re: Let's talk baby names...
Here is our boys list so far in no special order.
Rowen, Ronan, Killian, Gavin, Lochlann, Liam, Quinn, Reilly, Declan, Colin
Middle name, no idea.
Our girls list is quite long, but we pretty much agree with everything on it. Some of our top combinations are...
Violet Claire
Rosie Clementine
Lucy Pearl
We also like Madeline, Ophelia, Wren, Hazel, Nora, Mabel, Magnolia and Alba.
DH has veto'ed some of my favourite names. (Beatrice, for example) But for the most part, we agree.
We picked ours last weekend.
Boy: Lucas Anthony
Girl: Brooke Marie
We agreed fairly easily Brooke was one of my favorites and he liked it too. If you ask him he'd still like to consider the names Seven for a boy and Pele for a girl. I vetoed those both!
I am finally able to get on TB!
My names are set in stone, Aria Christine and William Alessandro
We arent finding out the sex so we decided on names early.
The names are...
Boys:
Byron Jack and Oliver Henry
Girls:
Esther Rose and Lillian Kate
We agreed pretty much right away but when we had to come up with the second set of boy and girl names that took a while. It was easier because we always new we would do family names.
We have pretty much narrowed it down, but that's not to say we might not add a few more to the mix later.
For a girl, either Lila or Piper.
For a boy, Ben... Not sure on the full name yet though. Either Benjamin, or possibly Bennett.
Our middle names are also decided... Family names.
It's been pretty easygoing with my husband... It was worse before because we both always loved the name Max, but it really sounds ridiculous with our last name (like as in it sounds like a superhero name or something). I said no way, but DH just wouldn't let it go until I mentioned it was in the top 10 list recently... Then he did a 180 and didn't want to use it anymore. So now things are going a bit more smoothly
We have a few for each.
Girl: Brynn, Claire, Jane
Boy: Weston, Hudson, Emmett, Collin
I'm not sure if we will finalize until after the birth. We will probably take a short list to the hospital with us.
Soren Noble or Elin Ruth. MN's are family names.
I'm liking everyone's picks so far
Your baby boy name is the exact same (spelling and all) as ours! That's so funny. We had a little girl the first time so we've just been holding onto it for a boy someday. I have no idea what we are going to name another girl though if that's what it is. We had so much trouble picking out a girl name the first time around. hopefully we will come to some kind of agreement. we just don't agree on girl names.
My all time favourite boy name is Myles, but DH has a good friend as well as an uncle that he dislikes with this name, so it's out for us. I love the name Maggie (which is also my favourite Aunt's name) but DH thinks it sounds too old fashioned.
We've decided on our probable baby names already, it will most likely be Norah Lynn for a girl or Julian David for a boy.
I have a lot of other names I love and would use, but DH is much more picky than I am so that has been a challenge. Overall we agreed on our tops names fairly easily though. DH does tend to like trendier names than I do (he was set on Braden for a while), and I tend to like more classic names. I think our final choices are a decent mix of our two styles
We've been talking about baby names before we were even trying! We see eye-to-eye on many names, of course with some exceptions but we've landed on 3 top favorites for each (since we're team green!) we'll know as soon as LO shows his/her precious little face! We've had a ridiculous amount of fun looking up names, calling our parents asking if there are any "cool" names in the family we don't already know about.
Girl: Adalade Louise (I think our #1 pick at this time), Caroline Su, Violet Mae
Boy: Henry Warren, Max Douglas, Jack Warren/Douglas (we don't know which we like the sound of better) & we love all these names equally...too hard to pick a #1 fav!
All of the middle names are significant people in our families.
We are having twins and thanks to the Mat21 results, we know that at least one is a boy. As a result, one will be Nolan Andrew - we have loved the first name since we started talking about baby names in '08 and the middle name after my brother and is DH's mn too.
If the second baby is a boy, he will most likely be Maxwell James. First name after DH's grandpa and middle name after my dad.
If the second baby is a girl, it will be a battle because we can't decide on ANY girl names. Although I am pushing for a middle name of Ann since that is my mom's name and my middle name.
Less than two weeks till we find out the sex of both babies at my next appointment.
Boy: Connor Mark (my dad's name is Mark)
Girl: Adalyn Paige or Adalyn Mae
Coming up with names was really hard for us and these were the only two we could agree on. I am not crazy about either of our girl middle names so those are still up for debate.
We have discussed names forever but only recently actually settled on them.
Boy: Caleb Cameron (DH was set on having a CC)
Girl: Finley Virginia (Virginia is a family name)
Awesome on Team Green! We are team green as well!!!
Right now we both like:
Girl: Reagan or Dawson (middle name Marie)
Boy: Caleb James
But anything could change.
That's funny! Alan is a family name. I don't often see it spelt that way. DH's middle name is Alan, and it is my father's first name!
I love the name Henry! My hubby vetoed it.
First name Lennon for a boy but we are unsure of a middle name.
Boy: jace William Alexander
Girl: annaleigh willow Elise
The only things that are set in stone as of now are middle names. Joseph after his beloved uncle who just passed away (not a huge fan of the name but completely respect the sentiment behind it) and Tanna or Rae after my mom (and my best friend) who passed away 9 years ago.
For a boy, my husband is stuck on Dean or Oswald with nn Oz or Ozzy. I really like Benjamin and Henry but my hubby isn't impressed.
Names we're throwing around for a girl are Tessa, Annabeth, Caroline, and Mila. However, my hubby isn't really partial to any.
Emma Kate - born 10.16.03 @ 29 weeks, weighed 1lb 13oz and 13.5" long.
TTC #3
Our boy name is set in stone (Hubby's Pick) Kaden Thomas, the girl though we are still unsure of Kaylee Louise? Both middle names are family names!
So far I love everyones names
so adorable!
Hehe, Rosie Clementine made me giggle a little bit. I think it's darling. It sounds like such a happy name.
Emma Kate - born 10.16.03 @ 29 weeks, weighed 1lb 13oz and 13.5" long.
TTC #3
I love all the family names in these post!
Boy - Oliver Edward (Edward after my Uncle that just passed.)
Girl - River Emmaline
My husband was dead set on River as soon as he heard it...from Dr. Who, lol. It took me a little bit, but I finally came around.
Does anyone have their names picked out already? If it's a girl it will be Alexandra Aka Lexie. If it's a boy it will be Jones after my grandfather.
Are you finding it easy or challenging to agree with your partner? We usually do not agree on names, especially spellings. However, we have been talking for a long time about this so now we just are to the point of agreeing.
this was supposed to be a quote to someone elses post but I am a little technically challenged and I suppose I didn't do it right lol
As for us our favorite boy name right now is Wyatt
Girl: milania or Giuliana
Boy: Giovanni Johnny or Jionni
Girl: Louise, Virginia, Gretchen
Boy: Louis, Franklin, Phillip
DH vetoed Clemintine, Ramona, and Walter. I vetoed Charles, Clark, and Susanna.
I like your naming style. Virginia and Louis are really cute and will age well.
I LOVE Ramona, but DH nixed it too.
It is also my DH's middle name! Are we married to the same guy ;
