I'm not certain if we will ever be able to pick out names! Our first puppy was just named "Baby" because we couldn't decide on a name.
Haha, my first puppy is still named Puppy! (And she's about 5! )
I can't bring myself to come up with names yet! I keep seeing some I like, and might start writing some down, but for the most part there's been no real discussion! Although my husband did say he likes the name Arya (We've been watching a lot of Game of Thrones, lol!) ... I'm not a fan because it's too close to Aryan nation.
Update: Thanks to this post, this has been on my mind all day so I got a couple of baby name books at half price books, lol! 200k+ names to work through now!
You asked, so despite my only critique on the bnb rule, I will do so here...but I think you should post these on the bnb if you want many honest opinions.
Boys: Declan - nice Emerson - I'm glad to see this for a boy, where it belongs, but it is NMS Beckett - horribly preppy, Last name Dawson - see beckett Lennon - see Beckett and dawson Elliot - This one is the best on your list
Girls: Alaina - I dislike the spelling Brielle - this is horrid and made up Adelaide - not bad, but NMS Kenna - same Evalynne - why not spell this correctly??? Evelyn is beautiful. Layla - overdone Audrie - why not spell this correctly??? Audrey us beautiful Sutton - this is a last name and is awful for a girl Julianna - ok but NMS Emery - no Braylin - made up, trendy, awful Adilyn - why not spell this correctly? Lennon - this is a last name and awful in a girl
I'd go with Elliot for a boy and Audrey or Evelyn for a girl. I don't get your misspellings, it just makes the parents look unintelligent and sets the kid up to spell their name and correct people their whole life.
I love thinking about names. We have a few favorites from when we were naming our daughter but being only 5 weeks pregnant makes it hard to consider anything too seriously. Our daughter is Reese Elizabeth but I don't think you have to have names that go with one another. A few girl names I love are Caroline, Tate, jane, Paige, Blythe (family name) and Liv (but I think this one is over used because of Olivia). For boys, my husband loves Thomas, I like this too but hate "Tommy" and am afraid he would end up with this nickname - I do like Tom. I like the names William, Ben, Finn, jake, James, Graham (family name) and Nolan too.

All of this. Especially Audrie and Evalynne. Evelyn. Audrey. Those are the correct spellings. I fucking hate when people drop or add letters to make it "unique." It's not unique. Names aren't the place to express your free spirit.
Ok I'm a bit baffled...how are there people in this group that are only 5 wks pregnant? Looks like there are lots apparently- according to the comments in here. If you're 5 wks are you not giving birth in may? (Not march?).

This is a VERY old thread. If you look at the dates a lot of them were posted in July.

This is a very old thread from July that got bumped up.
I have names in the back of my mind, but not going to really think about it until a bit later. Probably after the anatomy scan...that way I can focus on which way to go.
PPD/PPA Mom...it has been super hard, but I'm making it! Slow steps... Mom to Carter (6), and Calianne (1). Proud VBAC, natural birth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering momma!
We might have finally come to a consensus with the names...at least for now lol. The middle names were easy we are going with grandparents middle names. My grandmother has passed and so has his grandfather so that will determine the middle name as for first names if it's a girl we are probably going with Avery Ellen and for a boy were going with Jace James
March 15' January Siggy Callenge: Animals Being Jerks
@JenLa21 Yes, that was the pronunciation I was hoping most people would think I really like the name - not common, but not super weird. It's on the list, but not my #1 pick for now.
Sorry, ladies! I guess I bumped this thread up. I had a name question and thought I did it right by searching "baby names" rather than start a whole new thread. Is there an "official" baby name board for our group that I should have used instead?
Boys: Declan -love Emerson -it's used too much for girls for me to like if for a boy Beckett - like Dawson -dislike Lennon -love Elliot -love
Girls: Alaina -like Brielle - hate hate hate Adelaide -love Kenna -undecided Evalynne -dislike Layla -love Audrie -I love Audrey but the "ie" looks weird Sutton -on my boy's list.. hate for a girl Julianna -love Emery -love Braylin -I couldn't hate this name more Adilyn -WTH is this? Lennon -god no.
I mostly agree here! Love Beckett, Declan, and Elliot the most out of your boy names, and I love Adelaide, Audrey(not ie), and I actually really like Sutton for girls. I can't think of Sutton as a boy's name because of Sutton Foster.
Mama to Rowan Sebastian and baby boy coming in April!
Boy name is Rowan Sebastian, girl name is Everley Adelaide. We also tossed around Rosalie and almost went that way, but we just feel like that isn't this baby's name.

If its a girl, her name will be Evelyn René (fiancée had to get his name in there still)
If its a boy, his name will be René after his Dad but we haven't come up with a middle name yet
