What are you naming your baby?

morrkim · June 2014

With DD we were team green so we had a boys name picked out Drake Levi. I was not completely set on Drake I wanted Levi Drake, but DH liked Drake Levi better and I had pretty much picked out our girl's name. When we found out it was twins this time we decided to split the name if they were both boys. We decided Levi Walter and Drake __. After suggesting Evan for the MN, we decided on Evan Drake.

Not even close to "totally set". DH won't even seriously discuss names until we find out what we're having.
Mine too! Just found out yesterday. Did you marry an engineer too?

Close! Computer programmer! (I'm a programmer too, but DH definitely fits the stereotypes better than me.)

I married an engineer too! He's the one insisting on not discussing names until we know!

We've been set since before we were married. For a boy--he'll be Michael Lee III -- called Trey (there's enough Mikeys, Mikes, and Mickys in the family). For a girl--she'll be Emerson Rose -- called Emmy. We saw the name years ago and both loved it right away, I couldn't imagine using any other name!

If we have a girl we will use the name we picked out with our first and haven't used yet: Evangeline Ann.

If we have a boy: Ronan Kenneth

You could go with Andromeda or Cassiopeia. I worked at a school with sisters with these names. They usually went by Andy and Cassie.

Constellations have a lot of fun names as well: Carina, Indus, Norma?, or Aquila to name a few.

We have Nicolaus Elijah for a boy, and nothing for a girl yet... trying to find a jewel-inspired name, because my middle name is Jade. Girl names are tough!

Amber or Crystal?

Boy: Cal William

Girl: Rose Abigail

They are both family names and I love how they sound with DD's name, Grace Charlotte.

Amber is pretty. I've thought about Amberlyn or Amberlee...

shan24 · June 2014

If it's a girl we'll name her Laura, after SO's grandmother - no MN yet.

And, if it's a boy, he'll have John in his name somewhere. My dad's middle name is John, his dad's first name is John and on it goes back for generations. My father only had girls, though, so I'd like to keep the tradition going if it's a boy.

Carebella · June 2014

We are team green so my plan is to have a list of potential names ready for a boy or a girl. If the a/s spoils it for us I'll still want to wait until the baby arrives to pick a name. I feel like I want to meet our LO to make sure the name fits/feels right. But I'm 99% sure about middle names that I'd like to use. For a boy it will be after my closest uncle that passed away and for a girl, after my grandmother.

Melissa2216 · June 2014

I have a top ten list and I hate all of them. I have no idea how I'm going to pick a name. Hopefully I will fall in love with a name at some point like I did with DS. DH is leaning toward Tyler James right now, so that is our frontrunner since I can't come up with anything I like better.

Coral, Gemma, Amethyst, Beryl, Opal, Topaz, Sapphira

Gemma! Why didn't I think of that? :P Thanks. I guess we'll see whether we need to keep working on the girl name in a few weeks.

We literally just started this conversation last night, at 18 weeks along. We know he's a little boy, but we argued until the day before we had DS2 over his name. I think we MIGHT have a few in common this time, so that's good. We're very traditional, with a Charles and a Nathan, so we are looking for names that feel masculine and "solid" if that makes any sense. Daniel, Benjamin, and Oliver are frontrunners for now.
What about Owen? For some reason Owen came to mind when reading your post:)
Sooooo ironic that you mentioned that, because that's on our list too!!

Mine too:)

lil_shocker · June 2014

I have no idea. We have some potential ideas for a girl, but in no way set. No clue for a boy. And I am not too worried about it. 20 weeks still leaves you plenty of time. You just need to decide before leaving the hospital (perhaps a birth center, too, I am not sure about that one).

We're set, but not telling people in real life until she's born. Just in case we change our minds.

Ditto.

Liam Matthew Oliva!!

whoaitsnikki · June 2014

We have decided to name our little girl Coraline Fallon. It was the first name we came up with when we found out we were expecting and I love Neil Gaiman (who wrote Coraline).

kristyru03 · June 2014

I was thrilled when we found out we were having a boy because we were pretty set on a boy name and had no clue for a girl. We are going with Max Augustine (the middle name is a family name).

Love it! If this one is a boy we too are using Augustin as a middle name. Spelling it a little different, also a family name for us. Thomas Antonio Agustin. It's always been a fav of mine. It sounds great with Max.

wildflower75 · June 2014

Team Green here so...
Boy: Tyson William (the third)
Girl: Makayla Tatiana (Although I'm only 85% sure about this one...)

our 1 year old's name is: Thalia Martha

Cal & Rose

MmmPopcorn · June 2014

We chose not to find out the sex of our baby at our a/s yesterday, so we'll have to pick a boy and girl name. We have our names kinda sorta narrowed down, but I have a feeling that we'll walk into L&D without our minds made up. H and I have really struggled with coming up with names.
