My favorites (DH and I have not discussed this but I have my list) are:

Boy: Lane Matthew (DH's first name as middle name)
Girl: Ella Rose (my GG's first name is Rosella) OR Lorelei (no clue on middle names for this and no family significance)

I have a cousin Matthew Lane!

Every time I bring this up to my DH he's like "it's too early to think of names" (I'm 10w1d). I think it's due to the fact that our first ended in a loss. However, I have an extensive list to be discussed.

My fandom favorites are:
boy - Arthur Evan (Because I know my hubby would have a fit if I even attempted Albus)
girl - Arianna Mae (for the non-Harry Potter fans, Arianna was Dumbledore's sisters' name)
In all seriousness we know for sure the first name will start with an "A" since that is both H and my initials (AMA & AFA). We'll likely have a Jr if it's a boy and in the past we discussed the name Aralyn (combo of DH and my mn) for a girl.
Hopefully after my appointment next week when the baby looks more like a baby than a gummy-bear we can start making a serious list.

I love Arianna! It's my oldest sister's middle name, and I've been planning to use it on a girl for years. I also happen to love Harry Potter, though

I think Dumbledore's sister was only spelled with one 'n'.

Boy: Oliver [nn: Ollie] or Fenrick [nn: Fen]

My sister is prego too and has Oliver on her list [she's def having a boy.] She doesn't know about our little bundle yet so I'll have to re-think if she uses it.

Girl: Maple or Cerridwen [nn: Ceri, it's a K sound, like Kerry]

My MIL was pretty rude about Maple just reminding her of pancakes... so I'm not sure anymore

I've never hear Fenrick before, but I think I love it! I'm having trouble finding any info on the name, though... Maple is cute, too.

My hubs and I really love Elvis for a boy. We aren't super fans of the King or anything, just like the name. Obviously it's a bold choice. Can't decide if we should use it if needed :-/

steffs440 · November 2013

If it's a girl it will absolutely be Ginnie Marion.

If it's a boy I think it will be Walter Christian. But that name is very up in the air still.

Both first & middle names are family names/"Ginnie" is the name of the place that SO and I met.

Please do not flame - what do you think about Ryan for a middlei name for a girl? DH and I like Caleb Nathaniel for a boy and Hannah for a girl. We can't decide on a middle name and one of us suggested Ryan and we don't hate it. I'm just not sold. Obviously with our other choices, we go more for the classic names so this seems strange.

My sisters middle name is ryan. Her name is Karyssa Ryan.

The only name my SO and I have both liked so far is for a boy : Gannon

He was reading names and really liked it, when I first heard it I was like "hmmm that will have to grow on me" -and it has. I've gotten a few "we'll that's interesting" but I don't know any and we like it so :P

I wish I liked any girl names but I feel like I just read the same ones over and over. I have a handful I like but nothing I'm crazy about! Bummer cause I just know it's going to be a girl (we want a boy)
I love it!!! It's so video game-ish was that your intention?
No but I have heard that its the name of someone on Zelda? Lol

Best.game.ever.

I knew a guy named Gannon and he was one of the nicest guys I've ever known. Family man, great guitar player.

I always think of all the people I've known with a name before I consider it, Lol.

For a boy: James Henry V (passed down, so this will stick)
For a girl: We both really like the name Ellie. Though I'd like for there to be a more formal name she could revert to at times (I'm picturing her resume 25 yrs from now, lol). Maybe Elizabeth? I don't love the name Elizabeth, but I also don't mind it. So I'm interested to find other options. MN is undecided. Maybe we'll use a family name.

Also, we will NOT be soliciting opinions from family/friends once we've decided on everything we like. It will be a secret until the baby is in our arms!

Our daughter's name is Ellie! I love it. There are so many Ellas and Bellas, but mine is the only Ellie. We were in the same predicament, but didn't like Elizabeth or Eleanor, so her legal name is Elle, and it suits her extremely well, even though we all call her Ellie

Only have decided for sure on middle names following family traditions. For a girl, Rae (my middle name) and William (BF's father's name).

Honestly, reading this thread has made us start researching names more.

Yes it is the main bad guy in Zelda. As soon as I read Gannon that came to mind. I assumed you must be a gamer to name your son that

BriTrev13 · November 2013

We have already decided on names.
For a boy his name will be Trevor Neal Jr. after his dad.
For a girl LillyAnn Nicole with the nickname Lilly.
My other favorites are Bentley William and for girls Rianne, Brianna or just Lilly.

Yeah it is lol. (I'm a huge fan of the game, been playing it since I could hold a controller

). The name Gannon is just awesome.
