For a girl: Madison Louise (Maddie-Lou)

For a boy: ....let's just hope it's a girl... Every time DH and I talk about boys names we end up not speaking to each other. He is a "junior" and wants a "third," I on the other hand want to actually name my own child. It doesn't help that his dad (right after we told him we were TRYING for a baby)said "I wouldn't mind having a third around."

My husband is the 5th, and I did not want a 6th. I wanted a name that was reflective of both our families, not just his. He agreed and we selected a name that paid homage to both sides. Both families love out son's name. Stick to your guns and find a name everyone agrees on!

We want to do this too. H has a mostly French background, and mine is mostly German, so we want to use names with those origins.

Erica314 · October 2013

For a girl we both like Ariadne (Ah-ree-odd-nee) for a first name (NN Ari or Aria) and for a boy we both like Asher (NN Ash) and Oliver (NN Olly).

DF really, really pushed for Kaspar for a boy name. It's OKAY but I don't love it.

HoneyBee1933 · October 2013

We haven't really talked names yet, but I love Eloise Anne for a girl.

MrsAMB07 · October 2013

We have a boy's name we've loved for a while. It was the second runner up for DS's name and the boy choice for DD (We were team green) but we have no middle name yet (good thing she was a girl!)

We have no girl choices yet, but we'll probably wait until we find out what we're having to see if we even need to discuss it.

oakley84 · October 2013

girls: Charlotte, Claire, Julianna

boys: Liam, Lucas, Daniel

I have not discussed these with DH, haha! He might veto all of them

I say after I carry a baby for months, push a baby outta my vag, or allow one to be cut out, I get final say on baby's name. Period end of story. Call me a jerk, but I'm not trying to please anybody with my name. If family likes it, cool. If they don't, oh well. Of course I will try my best to come to compromise with DH, but outside of that we don't tell anyone our names because I don't even want to hear opinions. And no matter how much DH wanted a certain name, if I couldn't get on board that's that. Every mom earns the veto card

LOVE it! I told my DH that I get two votes...one for me & one for baby. I'm not trying to be a jerk & am of course trying for a compromise, but with IVF I have been thru A LOT, & now I will be carrying the baby for nine months & then delivering said baby. He gets the easy part!

abbyful · October 2013

We haven't started re-visiting names yet, but here's what we had on the list when picking a name for baby #1 that we didn't end up using.

Girl:

Julianna

Gwendolyn

Fiona

Audrey

Nadia

Clara

Penelope

Delilah

Aurora

Boy:

Desmond (Dez)

Dexter (Dex)

Frederick (Erik)

Harrison

Malcolm

Calvin

JessJ222 · October 2013

My daughter is Lila Elizabeth. If she would have been a boy, it would have been Logan Michael. (Michael is DHs name).

We cannot agree on any girls names, so hopefully it's a boy and we don't even have to go there!

Jennylou0604 · October 2013

Boy:
Graham Michael
Grant Paul
Wes Patrick

Girl:
Audrey Jane
Ava Louise

ashleylynn1016 · October 2013

We already picked ours
Boy - Jeremiah Luke
Girl - Charity Grace

heedy07 · October 2013

We are horrible at agreeing on names and DH won't even discuss them until we find out the baby's sex

msmelodym · October 2013

Girl: Savana Elise

Boy: Lucas Eván

me and DH both agree... :-)

TXSparky · October 2013

I like Erik or Kellan for a boy. DH thinks Kellan is not a strong enough name.

For a girl, I'm thinking about Sarah Lynn (my mother's middle name), but not 100% decided yet.

SRK128 · October 2013

We. Have. No. Clue.

baby #6 sounds like a great name!

Franklinb4l2011 · October 2013

I love picking out names also
We have two sons
Hunter Page
Caleb Daniel
One baby girl
Elizza-Bleau Marie

This time we picked Amellia Dallea for a girl and Russell Dale (after my husband). We saw the movie about Amelia Earhart on our first date so that's why we chose our girl name!!

Allyoopp · October 2013

My fiance and I want 4 kids. 2 boys and 2 girls. Our first girl will be named Leilah Marie and the second (subject to change) is Kaylynn Nicole. The first boy will be Noah Reid. We can't think of the second boy name. His last name is Gibson so we have a hard time with his last name and finding a name we like with that. We are thinking maybe Logan Alexander or Charles something.

Stephaflee86 · October 2013

Boy : Isaiah Amir
Girl: Isabella Eve

Laurelyn2012 · October 2013

So far for a girl I like Daniella nn Dani or Ella and Kaitlyn

for a boy I like James and Bradley

Mommysaurus123 · October 2013

If it's a boy, it will be Declan Thomas B, unless DH gets on board with Peyton Archibald Manning B.

For a girl, it's going to be one of these:
Charlotte Sophia
Charlotte Grace
Charlotte Joy

DH likes Sophia Grace but I already know 3 girls with that name so I vetoed.

Livsweetmama · October 2013

Boy Names: Jackson, Jett, Theodore
Middle Name: Daniel
Girl Names: Lillian, Cora
Middle Name: Rose

dogperson11 · October 2013

Garrett Daniel (Daniel is my husbands name) for a boy and Aubrey Mae (Mae is my grandmothers middle name) for a girl

We've had names chosen for months now.

wimb01 · October 2013

Dd is Caroline. IF we decide to keep with our original plan of naming our kids after counties where we live (here for military) then our girl choices are Charlotte, Paige(different spelling) Madison, Augusta, or Amelia. (Hubby only likes Charlotte or Madison) and boy choices are Grayson, William (we have 4 of those in our family already) Charles, Lee, or James.

Soon to be his · October 2013

Brantley Erwin (Erwin after his grandpa) girl not a clue! Let's hope it's a boy we have two girls

lzmac11 · October 2013

Our son's name I Willem Cael John, Willem we liked, Cael is gaelic, John is a family name. We will go with the same format for baby #2!

We haven't really discussed names yet. And I will say I'm impressed someone else has a name that is on our list! Our names don't normally match other peoples!

Boys: Brantley, Dixon, Weston

Middle: Timothy (just need a gaelic name that fits)

Girls: Emmelynne, Kennedie, Eberleigh

Middle: Nicole, Anne (need a gaelic name that fits)

megandee2014 · October 2013

Boy-Noah Jaymes
Girl-Zoey.....no middle name yet!! Lol

jerseygirl612 · October 2013

We have a DS Hunter Michael.
Boys I like: Brayden Luca or Landon
Girls: Sienna Harper, Kendall Anne

I'm just 5w 5 d with fraternal twins ( we had tests done early) so the names we have picked are girl: Meekah Scarlett and boy: Micah Ashley

Are you a Gone With the Wind fan?

Verstej2 · October 2013

We already have a Gracie Ann Daisy and Tristan Phillip. This time we are thinking of Avery for a girl or Rebekah, we might put them together. For a Boy we like Aidan and we are really struggling with middle names. We have always used significant names for middles (Daisy was my beloved Great Grandmother, and Phillip was DH grandfather). I really would love to honour my Dad but he told me once to never name a child after him since he absolutely hates his name (Herman). I can't say it would ever be my first pick either but as a children we all called my dad Poppy instead of Dad or Daddy, so I have been playing with the idea of using that in the girls name as a middle maybe. Otherwise I might do my mom's middle name Elaine. For boys I have no idea what to do for a middle. Might go with one of my brothers names (which are all family names as well) Richard maybe.

Shellann1 · October 2013

We're thinking Seamus if its a boy (shaymus) no idea for a girl.....
Although totally subject to change. I've been an emotional mess so well probably wait until I've gained some sanity

LegalLadyBug · October 2013

We are still talking, nothing set yet. We have an Olivia. Here's what we're considering so far

Boy: Thaxter (family name), Dexter (I like it better than Thaxter, but similar), Elijah

Girl: Isabella, Zoe, Madeline, Julia

We're considering girls names more than boys because we both think it's a girl. We didn't get serious about names until close to the gender U/S last time and it will probably be the same this time.

SecondTimeinMSU · October 2013

@LilNunz1 I also am on team Shannon since it is my name too. It is pain only since my coworker has the same name and it is a tiny office but that is just odd since it isn't that common. Also there is a good chance she will get married and take a new last name someday anyways. I personally think my name sounds a lot better with my husband's last name, my maiden name started with a "s" so it was too much "s" sounds.

It is terrible but we are so uncertain on names that is the main reason why I want to find out so than we only have to come up with one name rather than two

SecondTimeinMSU · October 2013

Are initials a big deal, that is a part of my problem since we know the middle initial is "A" and the last is "R" so there is a big potential to spell something. I figured CAR was ok but not sure about BAR, WAR, TAR or EAR as initials. DH says the baby's not going to have monnogramed towels but I worry about teasing

LegalLadyBug · October 2013

On the flip sides, names I like that I can't use because they are already in use in our family or have a negative memory for DH and I, but I still like:

Lilly/Lillian

Amelia

Evalyn

Elise

Melanie

Vivian

Annie/Annabell

Monica

Jill/Jillian

Corinne

Isaac

Ian

Michael

Steven

Anthony

Colin

Jeremy

The list is way longer than names we can use lol

Sorry....can't tag you because of the spaces in your name. It really is the one girl name we love and my one consolation is, how often are you going around being called by your first and last name? Other than the first day of school and possibly a job interview...hardly ever, right?
Ps...what is your middle name? We are struggling with a good MN for Shannon.

SecondTimeinMSU · October 2013

@LilNunz1 It is a weird family name, I've had a love/hate relationship with it my whole life so not something I'd recommend. I actually thought about using my middle name at work but decided constantly correcting the pronunciation would be annoying

chusum · October 2013

Amelia Elise for a girl & we have two options for a boy, Colin Patrick or Owen Thomas

TonyaCody06 · October 2013

DH always wanted his MN (Ray) passed down to a boy but since we will probably have another girl I'll pass it down as Rae instead.

Girl: Georgia Rae

Boy: ___ Ray

Ugh. Boys are hard and odds are we will have a 4th girl. But the discussion still needs to happen. I like Southern names. My girls are Reese, Emma, & Scarlett.

babyglo350 · October 2013

We love Vivienne for a girl and Darren for a boy. Middle names are tough though.

BabyWelch1 · October 2013

My DH and I have decided on a girl's name: Molly Kay. There is not a family tie with the name Molly; however, my mothers name is Kay and a lot of my family members' middle name is Kaye/Kay. Hopefully we have a little girl, because we can not agree on a boys name.
