Any Names Yet?

motherboy · June 2014

Omg I am so nuts about names--I really want to post them because we aren't telling people IRL but on the other hand I am really nervous someone will "steal" them. Hahaha I need to get a grip.

Ok here goes:
Girl: Josephine Marie not sure of nickname
Boy: Edward James nn Teddy

@motherboy‌ there is a Josephine in our family and she goes by Josie.

If it is a girl her name will be Delaney. If it is a boy I love Connor, but DH isn't 100% on board with my boy name.

If it is FINALLY a boy, we are still holding onto our original boy name: Wyatt Thomas

If this is baby girl #3 she will be Annabelle. We are bouncing around a few middle names.

We have sort of talked about it, but have no clue really what we would name a boy or girl. It looks like a lot of people already have ideas and maybe I am behind the ball. It seems like such a big decision. Any one else out there?

I don't think you're behind at all. There is plenty of time and some people might not even choose a name until after the baby's born. DH and I did decide to start a list of names just so that we have some time to try them on. I've already eliminated some names that I thought I loved after taking even just a few days with them. Thinking ahead can also help ensure that you don't accidentally end up with a weird combination or profane initials or something. But I don't think it's a requirement--it's probably also possible to overthink it, which is where I am right now!

At any rate, our names are all over the place.

Girl (me): Kinley, Azalea, Zinnia, Eisley, Mariella, Linnea
Girl (DH): Gaia (I would like it as a MN), Adora, Sondra, Freya, Greta, Galiana
Possible MN: Rosemary (after our moms, Roxanne and Mary)

Boys (me): Ryland, Leo (....Not really sold on any boy names TBH)
Boys (DH): Cicero, Hadrian, Eamon (I think I could maybe live with Amon), Gideon, Anders
Possible MN: Garrett/Garrison (family name)

With our last boy my husband was hell-bent on Achilles. I refused. He still brings it up as an idea.

Hah - my DH loves that name too!

Ours are Olive and Troy - no clue on middle names yet..

I have a ton of girl names i love, but only a few boy names,. I really hope we have a boy first, but of course would be happy with a girl. I also want to have it where my kids have two middle names, as I have 2 middle names (Natalie Amber Jennae) and my mom has two middle names (Mara Angell Jeannine), but am finding it difficult to match boy names with two middle names...should we just go with the girls having two middle names?? It might be easier... My husband and I have pretty much decided if it's a girl, well name her Brielle I really love Brielle Ava LaRee (incorporating my great grandmas and my grandmothers names) Or Brielle Katherine LaRee (with my mother in laws first name as an option) I also really like Neveah Emily Jane, or Priya Dawn Jeannine For a boy, I've always loved the name Matthias, and tom really likes Matthew. I however have convinced him that I love Matthias and it's a bit more unique, and we can still call him matt, or matty, etc. And I think he likes it..i can't really decide on what middle name(s) though...I also really like William and Noah for first names, and am starting to rethink whether I just want to consider Matthias as our first option.. So far I've come up with name combos of...Matthias Allan Paul, Noah Michael James, Noah Daryl James, or William Thomas Blayne.. I don't know if that's too much for a little guy to handle, and if we should just shorten it to one middle name. Most of the middle names (both boys and girls) are family names that I want to incorporate in somehow...feedback??

I thought of Maxwell for a boy, too. My great uncle was named that NN Mickey.

DS1 is Wyatt Thomas!! Obviously, I love your boy name

efujan · June 2014

For a girl, it's the same name we picked out when we were pregnant with DS - Reagan Lynn or Reagan Angela.

For a boy, we have no clue. So, just like last time when we didn't have one name picked out, I assume that means we'll be having a boy!

ETA middle name

Such awesome names! Thanks for sharing them with me!

Are we married to the same man? Lol my DH is obessed with Achilles. As posted we already have Athena. Lol but I won with Avery. Idky but we just love it.

teachergal05 · June 2014

Boy - Elijah James
Easy choice since it was our boy name the first time and both are family names.

Girl - Caroline Grace
Current choice but subject to change. It's harder to pick a girl name since we already have a girl.

cclfc · June 2014

My husband and I live in DC and we love to travel, so I'm keen on Reagan if it's a girl

(That's the name of the airport, sorry that wasn't clear)

TLGBaby2 · June 2014

Piper Jean (Jean is my late grandmothers name)

Robert Lane (My husband HAS to have another Robert, this will be 4 in a row on his side, and lane is a family name on his side as well),

We are team green so it will be a while before we find out what it is ;-)

jbjelland · June 2014

Not really. DH insists that we should name our kids with "B" names (like him and his brother), which I think is silly considering there are very few B names I would consider giving my child. I want to pick names I love, not just because of the letter they start with. So I'm pretty much holding out until he changes his mind, because he knows how much I dislike the idea.

In the meantime, I tell everyone that if I have a boy, his name will be Bjorn (our last name is Bjelland). Totally kidding btw!

Shortstack06 · June 2014

@oboeodo we actually are waiting until we find out the sex, then we are going to pick 3 names and wait to see what we think fits after the baby is born.

Everyone seems to be asking the name question - I usually come up with a bizarre name or say our Dog's name (Thor) and they give me a funny look and drop the subject. There is still a lot of time left to decide.

orangehills · June 2014

I can't get past Miles if it's a boy. DH is slowly warming up to the name. I love it. Stephen will be the middle name after my dad.

If it's a girl, I like Mikayla, Holly, and Clara. Joyce will be the middle name after my mom.

musicgal05 · June 2014

Boy: Isaac Constantine

Girl: Aria Esterlyn or Claire Iliana

ehsmith07 · June 2014

My hubby and I are both pretty picky, so we narrowed down a short list right away. We love both Finley and Lorelei for a girl, Crew for a boy. There are some runner-up names on both lists that would likely become the middle name either way.

firespirit717 · June 2014

We won't discuss names until we know the sex, but I have a list going. Basically I do the hard work of looking through thousands of names and SO picks from the list of ones i already know I like. Middle name will be after family members so David (after my dad) if it's a boy and America (my grandma) or Joy (my mom) if it's a girl.

kursem · June 2014

I started thinking about this right away, and I think DH and i actually agree....which is a shocker

For a boy (which i think this is) it'll be Holden Don (the middle name is after my dad) and for a girl it'll be Lucia Bella (we'll call her Lucy) or Alora Hope (DD is Emma Grace so we thought using Hope would be neat).

I had fun during last pregnancy telling people I'd name my daughter Snow (our last name is White) so I might play with that again - would never actually do it though!

efujan · June 2014

orangehills - love the name Miles - or Myles, which is how we spelled it (family name). Good pick!

orangehills · June 2014

@efujan I always see your pic with his name and think, I like that name!! lol

rjharrison07 · June 2014

For a boy, Sage West. Still undecided on a girls name. We like Emerald Joan and Harper Joan. Just not sure yet...

XtenLyn55 · June 2014

Anthony Lorenzo for a boy and Veronica Elyse for a girl

Happy2BPregnant · June 2014

DH refuses to discuss names before we find out what we are having. I like Sam for a boy and Ella for a girl though. We already have a Jack, so I like really classic names.

leeleesmomma15 · June 2014

I am a fan of old names....so if its a boy Levi Thomas....girls name we have it narrowed down to 2 either Haddie Mae or Adaline Grace

Mrs_Bennett · June 2014

We've had a girl name picked out since before DS1 was born, but I'm suddenly doubting our choice. And, we've already picked out the perfect boy name if this baby turns out to be DS3. Apparently we're better at boy names, haha!
