We won't be able to agree until the baby is born, but we like Amelia, Violet, Olivia, and Sophia for a girl. I like specifically Sophia Jane and Amelia Grace.
For a boy it's a little harder. I really "feel" it's a girl, just like I did with my first (girl) and I didn't with my second (boy). But some of the names we have tossed around are Henry, Phineus (Finn for short), and Jasper. But I'm not thrilled with any of those options.
We have first & middle names chosen for a boy and girl. The problem is years ago we mentioned the only name we could agree upon for a boy and my SIL said it's the only one she and my BIL can agree on! And of course she's pregnant too now - 3 weeks ahead of me. (We're very close & very excited to be doing this together.) Good news is they're finding out the gender so at least it can give us a few months to rechoose a name if needed.
I like Hazel for a girl but dh isn't sold. I also like Charlotte and he likes Allison. My favorite boy name was Samuel Bryan but now I like Jack too so idk.

I like Hazel for a girl but dh isn't sold. I also like Charlotte and he likes Allison. My favorite boy name was Samuel Bryan but now I like Jack too so idk.
I LOVE Charlotte, and it's my great grandmother's name. Sadly, I can't get DH on board. I keep bringing it up, hoping he'll come around, but no luck. What's funny is that the baby name book I have says something about how Charlotte and Eleanor (another fave of mine) are two names that men and women seem to be polarized on...women thinking of them as strong and feminine and men thinking of them as old lady names. Boo .
We plan to keep ours secret until our gendet reveal but I have a ton of boy names I love...not as easy with girls.
I have the opposite problem. I love so many girl names, not a fan of many boy names. Finace really wants Thomas if its a boy tho, and I'm ok with that. I love Alexandra Grace for a girl.
I love names! We had both a boy name and a girl name picked out while we were trying to conceive our first baby. This time we haven't talked about it much yet - I think we're both just waiting to get out of the first trimester before getting too serious. Our top boy names from last time: Miles, Even, and Theo. I'm starting to like Bennett and Peter as well, so we'll see Middle name would most likely be Brady after my brother. Our top girl names: Violet, Ava, June (my grandma's name), Evelyn, and Abby. Middle name might be Ann (family name) or we might just pick something pretty like last time!
We have three girls names that we absolutely love: Charlotte, Sienna and Everly, all with the middle name Claire (which is my middle name). As far as boys, we haven't had one that "clicked" and we liked. The closest would maybe be Jordan or Alexander but we're not super excited about either. I feel like it could be a girl, so hopefully my intuition is correct!
We decided on Bentley for a boy during my last pregnancy, but as I was browsing names this time, we were also considering Hudson or Thatcher. I like Avery for a girl, but I haven't really put too much thought into it yet.
Emma Catherine if it's a girl; she'll go by Katie. I like Joe Logan for a boy, and he'd go by Logan. I'm not sure what DH thinks of that, though.
Just purely out of curiosity...why give the names you want them to be called as middle names? Is it some sort of tradition?
It's super common in my family although I don't know why. DS goes by his middle name because we thought using Chase as a first name sounded more like a command than a name. (Both his first and middle are family names.) Also, for Emma Catherine I would call her EmmaKate as often as I would Katie.

* Lindsay Chase is going to be a big brother in August! *
We like Wyatt Graham and Penelope Gwendolyn. I'm not sold on Gwendolyn. Diego was a favorite until I actually got pregnant, now I think it is too weird. Pilar too.
I love Aidan! That's my DS name and he loves his name too!
For a boy we are going with Evan Mateo. I wanted Evan Luke but we have a lot of Spanish speakers in our family so my DH wants a Spanish middle name. Girls names seem to be harder for us. So far we can only agree on Alina but aren't sold on it. Middle name will be Rosalie after DH middle name and my mom's name is Rosa. Our 9 year old DS also joins the discussions. He is Aidan Jose (DH name).
We have two girls names picked out: Regean Leigh or Charlotte Elizabeth. We picked these out when we were discussing names for DS (before we knew). We now live in Charlotte, NC so I'm not sure if we will still consider Charlotte. I love the name Jason for a boy, but our son is Jackson and I'm not sure I like that together.
My dad goes by his middle name because he's a "Junior" and I've got some cousins that go by their middle names because their first name is their father's first name (they aren't "juniors"). I wouldn't want to do it for my kids, but understand why they did it.
My daddy's, grandaddy's, and husband's first names are all Joe, hence why a boy would go by Logan.

Girls: I like Ayanna, Camille, and Jocelyn and probably Michelle for a middle name but not if we go with Camille
Boys: Calvin, Xavier, Ezekiel (I love it hubby not so much) and middle name for a boy would be Bernard Dwight (hubby and FIL middle name as well as my grandfather's name)
If we have a boy he'll be Stanley Kopa Kaluahine V (my husband is the 4th in the Hawaiian line with the name, so this one was easy). If we have a girl she'll be Helena June Kaluahine (I've had the name Helena since highschool and June honors a grandma and great aunt).
We have family names picked for both genders. If it's a boy it will be Asher Crosby, Asher is my FIL's middle name and his father's first name, and Crosby is my maiden name. If it's a girl it will be Catherine (Cate/Caty) Lin, my mom's name is Catherine, and DH's grandfather's name was Lindsay &my MIL's name is Linda (which is why we are spelling the middle name with an i)
My dad goes by his middle name because he's a "Junior" and I've got some cousins that go by their middle names because their first name is their father's first name (they aren't "juniors"). I wouldn't want to do it for my kids, but understand why they did it.
That's the "problem" I am having with my boy name. FN is William, but I don't want to call my son Bill or William or Billy, so I want to pick out a good MN. DH is a little stubborn on it, but since I don't get to pick my son's FN, I want an awesome MN.
If we have a boy he will be named after my husband his name is William (its a family thing)but we are going to call him Liam. I know my husband won't want to be called Big Will and I don't want my son to be called Little Will either. Their middle name my FIL goes by, so Liam seemed to be a good choice.
I like your boy names, especially Griffin but Im bad with names and cant think of a name to go with it, sorry . Ive always had my boy name picked out (and thankfully my husband really likes it) Its my maiden name, Gerard. I don't like Jrs but wanted to pass something down from my father sense he wont be seeing my baby I also think its a cool name lol No girl names yet
This is stressing me out! We had a name for each picked out, but since we just found out yesterday that we're having twins (most likely identical), it throws a wrench in our plans! Now we probably are just going to wait for the a/s. Your guys' names are so cute though!!
My husband and I have always loved Oliver Elwood (MN after his grandfather). I also adore the nickname "Ollie". Right now we're thinking Lucca (Lu-kah) for a girl. I love Lucca Beau or Lucca Reux, but H thinks that might be a little too cuckoo.
I think we're sticking with our names from last time. Mia Grace if it's a girl and Lane Robert if it's a boy. Honestly I'm not all that in love with the name Lane anymore.. I think because it seems to be becoming a popular name in my town all of a sudden. But DH is pretty set on it. I'm leaning more towards Jackson Robert.. but we'll see. I just want a healthy baby!
Re: What names do you have picked out if any?
For a boy it's a little harder. I really "feel" it's a girl, just like I did with my first (girl) and I didn't with my second (boy). But some of the names we have tossed around are Henry, Phineus (Finn for short), and Jasper. But I'm not thrilled with any of those options.
For girls we have Scarlett Elizabeth, Gabriella Lynn, or Ava Lynn.
For boys we have Gage Lucas, Corbin James, or Landon James.
And of course she's pregnant too now - 3 weeks ahead of me. (We're very close & very excited to be doing this together.) Good news is they're finding out the gender so at least it can give us a few months to rechoose a name if needed.

For a boy, we're thinking of naming him Fenner, after my Dad.
I adore Diego, Marco, Bennett... H hates them all, and 2 of them make no sense, given our heritage. But I do love the names
