Somebody has to start it...names?

rubylocks7 · March 2014

We're leaning towards Violet or Miles.

We really haven't talked a whole lot about it yet to be honest, but when we have we don't seem to agree on a lot of the names that I think are super cute! (Hello - Felix is the cutest name in existence and DH is TOTALLY against it!!) So far the names we can agree on are as follows:

Girl - Emily, Annie or Abby
Boy - Henry

Don't even get me started on trying to think of a middle name! Eesh!

I think Felix is an awesome name too! But DH says "the cat?!".

saralu82 · March 2014

Zoe Elizabeth or Elise (not sure mn) if lo is a girl. If this is our 3rd little boy, we're not sure what his name will be. His mn will definitely be Louis or Vincent after my dad. I really like Grant Louis but DH is not totally convinced....yet.

We have at least six of each, like a abbyful said, mostly leftover from naming Paul.

Girls: Lilah, Caroline, Charlotte, Cecelia, Susanna, Annelise
Boys: Noah, Abraham, Samuel, Luke, Benjamin

I love all those names! Very much my style. Our first son is named Luke Richard and our 2nd son we named Benjamin Luke (mn for DS who passed away). I adore both names. I wanted Samuel if lo is a boy but DH nixed it.

delaneymd · March 2014

My husband and I have been talking about names since before we were married.

I love variations of the name Rose. For a girl we have decided on Rosalie Rebecca. My mom passed away 5 1/2 months ago and her name was Rebecca. I love the name Rosalie itself, plus Rose, Rosie, our little Rose bud, etc for nicknames.

For a boy we have decided on the name Grayson but not sure for middle name - maybe Grayson Sawyer or Grayson James or Grayson Rylan.

Liam910 · March 2014

My son's name is Liam, so we're going for an L name. I like Louca for a boy and Lynn for a girl (:

Rivsmom83 · March 2014

Our sons name is River Orion. We've thrown out that if it is a girl we both like Harper Moon. But I also love (for girls) Amelie, piper, and Eden. Boys we aren't sure but one of my fav leftovers from River was Lennon. My husband loves names like Wolf and Forrest and Phoenix. But we cannot have a river and a Phoenix. Haha. That's what you get with California hippy artist parents.

Maelara · March 2014

My DH and I are being a little cautious this time as I'm high risk, so names aren't really in play yet for us.

The names that we liked last time though were:

Girl:
- Freya
- Lyla

Boys:
- Griffin
- Bennett

TXSparky · March 2014

I like Boy: Kellan and Girl: Fiona, but husband doesn't love them.

The only name we have agreed on so far is for a boy: Erik

musicalmommy3 · March 2014

Great names ladies... I don't have any yet! But I love some of the ones you have said.

We have very strong contenders for girls names - Claire Elizabeth or Elizabeth ??? (If we go with Elizabeth for the first name, we'll call her Ellie).

I have an Elizabeth/Ellie. Good choice!

amberhoothoot · March 2014

We have some old lists but nothing even remotely agreed upon. Good job for you ladies!

psychobutthead · March 2014

So far we have a boys name completely picked out. If we have a little boy he'll be Daniel Jacob.

We have tried to stay away from using any named of any people either of us have known.

For a girl we have Ripley picked out so far. Not sure about a middle name.

I really liked the name Lilah or Delilah for a girl but hubby wasn't having it.

janeldoeshair · March 2014

So, my husband has a tradition in his family that the first boy has to have the initials, "GLW"

G names are hard for a boy! The only one I have come up with that I like is Garrett but not 100% on that one. Any other suggestions??

We aren't sure of the gender yet but in the case that it is a boy, I am stumped!

G names for a boy please! Normal but different… no George, Gary etc..

KTgator · March 2014

If we have a girl she will definitely be Mary Maeve Elizabeth with "Mary Maeve" being her first name.

If we have a boy we are undecided-- hubby rejects most of my ideas. These are the family names I love and are playing around with:

James Claiborne (named after my mom's dad who died when she was 15)
Claiborne Paul (Paul being after my dad's dad)
Emmett Paul (both of my great grandfathers and one great uncle were named Emmett)

I also love Ezra, Elliot, Edmund, Eli, (see the E trend haha)

Our daughter is named Evelyn Avis (Avis after my husband's grandmother)

We are both teachers and like more unique names that we won't attach with any students haha.

Our front runner for boy name when I was pregnant with dd was Finley, but with Glee I think Finn has become too popular. My hubby is still pulling for that name though. We'll see!

ambam25 · March 2014

@janeldoeshair: I love the name Garrett, I think it is our top choice right now. Some othe G name suggestions; Gavin, Graham, Grey(son), or Gage.

shindylahoe · March 2014

This is baby #4. Our other kids are Elenore (Ellie), Solomon (solly), and Rosalie (Rosie)

This time around we like Jeremiah for a boy and possibly Addison for a girl.

My mom is a teacher, been doing it almost 40 years. We had to keep DS's name a secret until he was born because nearly every name we mentioned, she would say stuff like "oh, I taught a kid with that name, he/she was the biggest trouble-maker in the class that year!". I imagine it would be hard having a previous association with most names!

Gavin, Graham, Gage, Gabe, Goran, Grant

Sarahc444 · March 2014

We have always loved jordyn for a girl and my husband wants Bentley for a boy. We have a hard time with boy names we can't agree on names. Jordyn was the only name we have agreed on!

amberej · March 2014

We have discussed names a little. Boy names are a battle, we are having a hard time agreeing. We have agreed on the name Scarlet for a girl, not sure on the middle name yet!

amberhoothoot · March 2014

We have some old lists but nothing even remotely agreed upon. Good job for you ladies!

mamatohne · March 2014

Ds is Hudson, for a boy I have been stuck on Harrison or Grayson for a girl Harper or Madison ! But for the Last couple says I LOVE the name Dawson for a boy! Dh won't agree on anything so who knows!

dr_pr · March 2014

We haven't talked about it yet, but I like Victoria (Tori) for a girl. Boy names are really hard for me--I want to use a family name from my side (mn and last name will be from H's side) but there are none that I really like.

MrsMeyer7911 · March 2014

Currently we really like James or Theo for a boy and Nora for a girl. Nothing set it stone though since we have 35 weeks to debate this!

TC0514 · March 2014

For a boy: Mason
Girl: Olivia

Neither are set in stone but our top choice at the moment.. It could change next week haha!

morrkim · March 2014

We were team green with our first so we had a boy and girl name picked out. Our boys name is Drake Levi, but I'm not as set in stone as I was the first time, but h still loves it. We also were thinking Ember if it's a girl.

morrkim · March 2014

@janeldoeshair‌ my family had a tradition with initials as well. Initials are alphabetical. My mom's initials before she was married were EFG, mine were KLM, so we went with ABC with our daughter.

jessica101c · March 2014

We have a Gabriella and if this ones a girl, I want Julianna, just have to get hubs on board! Which he should, since he insists on naming his son a junior

Ster1106 · March 2014

Boy: Ross Wade (The former is my father's middle name and the latter my husband's middle name.)

Girl: Finley Grace (My mother's name, Ann, which means Grace in Hebrew.)

We're pretty set on those, but we might consider others the farther along I get.

Terrapantz · March 2014

Elliott for a girl and Jace for a boy!

My friend named her son Fox

it's kind of like wolf lol

marchbabytobe · March 2014

My boys name is Cason Randall and my girl is Lila Caroline!

meeshybee · March 2014

DH has talked me into letting HIM pick the name for baby #4, since I've had the last 3. The only requirement I have is that a boy has to have the middle name Charles. Family tradition.

Marisajean01 · March 2014

Right now we have 2 names we like for a boy...Emmett Francis or Ryder Francis. Nothing for a girl. We are not making any decisions until we find out boy or girl...if this is anything like DD it will end up being a completely different name!

Emmy Lou · March 2014

OMG! Being a teacher makes naming kids so hard because I have so many kids with the same names! Every time a new name trend comes around I end up with all these little girls with the SAME NAME! Ugh.

ChelseyColeman · March 2014

If its a boy we are going to name him Levi James. My husbands first name is James but he goes by Ethan.

if its a girl we are going to name her Aubrie Mae. I just love that name

jen52711 · March 2014

What about Gavin?

DD1's 1st grade teacher is due with a Gavin on DD1's birthday. I've already mentioned the name to DH, but he refuses to think about names until we know the gender.
