If its a boy Jake Daniel. (Despite the popularity, since Jake is my husband's brother who passed away, and Daniel is my husband and a family name).
Girl- thinking Ayla Daniella.
Our daughter is Vera Cathryn.
Our boy is Harrison Michael. It is what we would have named DD had she been a boy. Harrison is DH's middle name as well as his paternal grandfather's middle name. Michael is my father's first name.
We actually struggle more with boy names, but our issue this time around is that we love too many girl names so we have a short list: Edith Nell, which are both family names. Mary nickname Molly Josephine nn Josie
I think we are leaning toward Edith with the nickname Edie, but I'm unsure about the middle name, Nell. I would rather use one name that we like that isn't a family name since the first name would be a family name.
Boy name set! Landon Lloyd. (Lloyd my late grandfathers name) Girl, I have NOOOO clue. I'm letting my dad decide. But I don't intend to find out the gender until the baby comes!!! It's my first. The past 2 months I've been referring too my bump as Landon so does everyone else haha can you tell we all want a boy??
We're set on Elaine for a first name and our strongest middle name is Hope, though we're also considering Patricia (all are family names).
For boys we're considering either Cale or Ethan, though I'm not sure either are "the name." I love the name Anton for the middle name, but DH isn't so sure. I wish he'd go for Marek as a first name, but he says no because he knows a girl by that name. None of the name are family names. The only good boys names in our families belong to DH's brothers and it doesn't seem right to take their names if they may want to pass them on to their own kids.
My mother's maiden name was Ashton, so boy or girl Ashton is the first name. (That was my DH's idea and it made me cry happy tears!) Boy middle name is my Dad's first, Michael, and girl middle name hasn't been decided yet.
Since our last name starts with "S" we have to be careful with the middle names... ASS or ALS don't seem like the best initials to have.
We have our boy and girl name picked out:) If we have a boy he will be Brian Joseph and we will call him Sep for short (long story short...my husband goes by his middle name as does DS, Brian Joseph is the name my husbands birth mom gave him, but his adoptive parents named him James Brian and Sep is the Swiss nickname for Joseph and I am Swiss). If we have a girl her name will be Adeline Ruth, Addie for short. Adeline just because we love the name and nickname and Ruth after my husbands beloved Aunt Ruth. DS is James Bennett, Benny for short:)
I love the name Courtland Alexander for a boy or Ivy Chase or January Chase for a little girl. I dont think my husband is 100%, but he wont really say until we find out the sex.
We've decided: Ruby Lee for a girl, and Corbin Everett for a boy. (MH is still meh about Corbin, but says it will grow on him, we think it's a girl anyway so we probably won't have to cross that bridge)
Ruby is a family name, it was both mine and my husband's great-grandmothers names, and I have an aunt named Ruby. Lee is my Mom, Sister, and Niece's middle name, and the first part of my BIL's middle name. Everett is my FIL's name.
I'm thinking Abigail or Aubree for a girl or Daniel or John for a boy. DH is waiting for gender reveal too. Boys names will be really hard for us cause we love DS's name some much ( Adam)!
Well I didn't think it was that common!!! It's a weird way for us to keep tradition with the story behind our reasoning but if we are to have a boy it'll be tucker!! Love it!! )
A girl will be Julia, haven't decided on a MN yet. I like Rose, but MH things Julia Rose is kinda generic.
Boy, still up in the air. I like Andrew, MH likes Austin. Joseph has also been tossed around, but we really haven't settled on anything.

My Wedding Bio from back in the day
We're having a girl and haven't decided on a first name yet, but middle name will be Lois after DH's mom who passed away. I don't love it, but want to honor my MIL.
Yep we have two nanes for each sex picked out. We are team green so I'm hoping with two name options per gender we can look at our little baby and see which one fits!
I have picked out either Isabella Noel or Isabella Grace for a little lady and Jacob Oliver for a mini man now I just need to find out what I'm having. Lol
I saw this spelled this way for the first time recently. I like it. Is it an original spelling(like from another culture)? My cousin is Niklaus. My cousin got flamed on a board for the spelling. But it's legit.
For a boy, we like Nolan Thomas. Thomas is my dad's name and Nolan is a name I don't hear too often, plus it can't be shortened! I also like Noah, but hubby isn't a fan!
Picking a girls name is much harder! I want the middle name to be Elisabeth (my mom's middle name), but hubby wants Reagan (family name on his side). I'm pretty sure I don't want a name that can be shortened, although I've always loved Charlotte(Charlie, Char, etc)! Thankfully we have several months to decide!
Not telling anyone our name decisions once we are 100% decided on one. But I think it's safe to share here!! Ever since I found out I was pregnant I've felt like it is a boy and immediately thought of the name. Gavin Michael. For a girl, I'm having such a hard time!!! Tossing around Harper, Everly, Norah... Choosing a girl name will be a battle if we have a girl!
Picked our top girls name then made the mistake of googling it- daily mail said it was set to be number one for 2013- gutted! Have a strong list for boy, struggling for a girl, since we live in a Muslim country there won't be many kids with the same name as ours, however we don't want to return to Canada or the UK and find our LO shares a name with a classmate. Watch the KATE HOPKINS interview on YouTube- before you name your girls!
We are doing Lilliana Francesca for a girl. Lillies was my screen name from POF, the internet site where we meet. Francesca is my middle name, and the name of his grandmother.
We are doing Benjamin Addison for a boy. Intials will be BAM, which we think is hilarious! Addison is for the name of the street where the Chicago Cubs play. Husband is a huge fan.
For a girl we are going with Lillian (Lily) as a first name, and either Jean (my moms name) or Mary (my granny's name and my middle name) as mn's.
Boy names, so much harder!! I've always loved the name Daniel since I was 13 years old, however, DH has 2 Daniels in the family so we aren't sure if we want to do that.
The other name we somewhat agree on is Lincoln...still not positive but it's one of the only ones we agree on haha. mn will be Gordon after DHs grandfather.
We've had our boy names picked out since before we were married. I'm pretty sure DH told me the name he wanted for a boy on one of our first dates! lol Good thing I love the name as well. We've been throwing around girl names for the last few years with a few contenders, but didn't decide for sure until we got pregnant. I pretty much did the picking for the girl name and he is picking the boy MN.
Boy- Forrest Boone DH's grandmother's maiden name + LO's godfather's MN
Girl- Lucy Belle My nn my Dad called me (he's now deceased) + my grandmother's middle name
My DH wants a "junior" if we have a boy and I'm really against that idea and have a hard time explaining that to him. I've been dodging the baby name conversations to keep peace in the house!

Re: Any names picked out yet?
Harrison is DH's middle name as well as his paternal grandfather's middle name.
Michael is my father's first name.
We actually struggle more with boy names, but our issue this time around is that we love too many girl names so we have a short list:
Edith Nell, which are both family names.
Mary nickname Molly
Josephine nn Josie
I think we are leaning toward Edith with the nickname Edie, but I'm unsure about the middle name, Nell. I would rather use one name that we like that isn't a family name since the first name would be a family name.
Middle names will be decided by my parents.
Girl: Evanlee (Which is my middle name and we would probably call her Evan, but haven't decided on a middle name yet).
(Lloyd my late grandfathers name)
Girl, I have NOOOO clue. I'm letting my dad decide. But I don't intend to find out the gender until the baby comes!!! It's my first. The past 2 months I've been referring too my bump as Landon so does everyone else haha can you tell we all want a boy??

Maru!
And Sophia Darlene for girl but not very sure yet we still looking!!
Boy middle name is my Dad's first, Michael, and girl middle name hasn't been decided yet.
Since our last name starts with "S" we have to be careful with the middle names... ASS or ALS don't seem like the best initials to have.
We are leaning towards Caroline Ruth for a girl, but still unsure.
This is my name! I used to think it was too old fashioned, but as an adult, I love it. BTW, I've always gone by Carrie!
And I can't figure out the quotes on mobile, sorry!
But DH said no....

Jeremiah David (David is my dad's name- we use family names for mn)
and for a girl it will be
Naomi Jewell (Jewell is after my dh's grandmother who is still alive and a sweetheart)
Picking a girls name is much harder! I want the middle name to be Elisabeth (my mom's middle name), but hubby wants Reagan (family name on his side). I'm pretty sure I don't want a name that can be shortened, although I've always loved Charlotte(Charlie, Char, etc)! Thankfully we have several months to decide!
