@YankeePeach08, having a list of 100 names for 4 possibilities isn't a bad thing. We are really struggling to come up with much we really like, much less love. The joys of being team green with twins .
We are not set on anything yet. I don't want to use a name that is popular and it's hard to find one that I like, as being a teacher makes some names carry more meaning than others. We are big Saints fans and my H really likes Drew Brees. He likes that he is a great team player and respect him as a quarterback. So the only opinion on names that he has given so far is to ask that we incorporate Brees in. I'm fine with that as a middle name and want to honor his actually having an opinion. I suggested Ryland because of our Irish roots and strong Irish last name.
Ryland Brees Corkern
Still not sure yet, but warming up to it. Thoughts and opinions are welcome
I'm also a HUGE Drew Brees fan! I wanted to name my first daughter Drew for the longest time because I love unisex names on girls, but dh wasn't having it. I do like Ryland Brees, but I feel Ryland Drew has a little more flow to it. Just my opinion, great name either way though!
@scooter028 - Eleanor Ann is on our list too! The other girl options are Olivia Ann and Isabel Ann (Ann is my MN and my mother's MN)
Our boy name is Julian Joseph. We were really limited by a tradition in DH's family of first sons being J___ Joseph. Julian is the only J name we liked that one of his cousins hasn't already used.
We are having a girl and we are pretty sure we are going with seraphina- I just love the sound of it and I think it goes well with DSs name, zephyr. I also like Mietta and etta but DH isn't a big fan. He wanted Sarah so seraphina is a compromise we are both happy with. DH wants the middle name to be Judy belle (both family names) but I'm not 100% convinced.
My DH is super picky, he picked DD#1's name and I had to fight to even get to pick her middle name! Somehow, even after saying "No way in Hell!" He finally agreed that the name that sounded most right was Scarlett. (he hates names that are colors, places or things so this was quite a miracle) I didn't have to really fight him, just had to keep putting it in his mind, plus DD#1 says "baby Scarlett," in the most adorable way! DD#2 is Scarlett Noelle!

Oh my! My son says Scarlett and my heart literally melts. I love that name with his little voice!
My niece's name is Brooklyn... both of her parents immigrated from the Ukraine to Brooklyn (he is my half brother, he came to the US later than I did), moved to Miami so they wanted to keep the connection. I think it's a cool name, and I hear it less than Brynn. I like it more than Brynn.
DD is Mila Jane, I wanted a Russian name for a first name and DHs grandma was Juana (DH is Dominican).
This little dude will most likely be named Roman. It is the ONLY name we can agree on, it has both Spanish and Russian history
Middle name with a V after my dad (Valery, not pronounced like you would assume, throw in a Russian accent), he has 4 granddaughters and is super excited about a grandson...
@SmittyPants - I love Graham and would consider it if I were expecting a boy. Just beware of Graham Cracker jokes. I also love Maeve! I considered it for DD.
I don't know! I'm having such a hard time. DD is Alice Josephine. Considering -
Jane Elizabeth Lydia Beth Katherine Beth Julia Beth
I love Jane (it's a family name and a classic) but our middle name is one syllable and I worry it's too plain together. I like classic names and prefer ones that aren't too popular. Sigh, Alice came so easily for us. This is hard.
I'm nervous to even say. I told my dad and he was horrified.
Scarlett Mae
Georgia Mae
June ______
We just found out so we really havent looked everywhere.
Georgia Mae was my great-grandmother's name, so I'm biased toward that one
I think our boys name was the easiest decision I've ever made in my life. We've had the name picked out for years even before we were married.
He will be Jaxon James
James is my dads name and luckily turned out to be my husbands middle name. That was so meant to be because I always wanted my sons middle name to be James no matter what
Engaged 12-12-10 Married 5-12-12 Baby Jaxon 3-23-14
Right now DH like Jane Olivia, and I like Claire Olivia. Our last name is Lane and he is perfectly fine with naming our daughter Jane Lane. We both liked Audrey Olivia but I don't want her initials to be AOL haha. DH loves J names, like Joann and June.
We're having a girl.. And although my dh is not totally excited.. At least I have a few months to work on him.. We have only discussed a little bit but we've talked about:
Lucy Jane
Lily Jane
Nora Jane
My dh also likes Amelia, but I'm not sold.. Lucy is my first choice..
My 2 year old DD is Lucy Jean. So I really like your pick!
I feel like we are so far behind in this... It makes me anxious.

Mara Adele
Kiera _____
Owen _____

Girls:

Margaret (nn Mars, Maggie)
Vivienne (nn Vi, Vivie)

The MN will be a family name that isn't from our siblings or parents (so grandparents or older). The coolest ones are Sterling and Minerva.
I also like Mietta and etta but DH isn't a big fan. He wanted Sarah so seraphina is a compromise we are both happy with.
DH wants the middle name to be Judy belle (both family names) but I'm not 100% convinced.
DD#2 is Scarlett Noelle!
@jenniemac - Love Georgia!
Vms126 - Please use Florence as a mn!
Considering -
Jane Elizabeth
Lydia Beth
Katherine Beth
Julia Beth
