We didn't know what we were having so we had two girl and two boy names picked. We went with Adalyn but Audrey was our second choice. For a boy we liked Everett and Nolan.
We had decided on Lana a long time ago, so we never came up with a 2nd choice. Although... I would LOVE to name the 2nd Maya if it's a girl after Maya Angelou. I would never name my child after another person, except for her. She has always been such a huge source of inspiration for me.
Our boy names are Bruce and Declan. @chicki1012 beat me to the punch for Declan
Yeah it's crazy how I'm hearing of Declan more and more. At first I didn't like it, it's DH who loved it. DH likes Irish names cause he is part Irish. We went to the hospital with Liam and Declan. DS came out with a lot of dark hair and he looked like a Declan. Liam is very very popular so that was one reason why I didn't like it. If we had a girl it would of been Keely, another Irish name. @Arya808 well your next LO if it's a boy go for Declan.
If Vivienne was a boy, her name would have been Julian Peter (Jude as a nickname). We were up in the air about whether to name her Vivienne or Audra. Vivienne won.
Married October 2009. Me 29 H 28. After 1 year of infertility, our little miracle was conceived via our 3rd IUI on May 5, 2013. Holland Sophia was born Jan 24, 2014.
Is DS was a girl his name would have been Brooklyn tatum. By the time DD came along my SIL named my niece Brooklyn so it was between Bailey and her name now.
Boy names were hard! Our only other boy name was Colton, Colt for short. If he was a girl I really wanted Emma but it was way too popular so he would have been Gemma Kay.
We couldn't agree on a girls name if our lives depended on it. Good thing we had a boy! But Nolan won over Cooper, which we are still keeping for next time.
DD didn't have a name until she was several hours old. I thought I was going to look at her and she would have been Evelyn Collette. Newp. Didn't happen.
Boy names we couldn't agree on and stopped discussing after the A/S.
If dd were a boy she would have been Joseph Elias, nn Joey. We'll use it still if we have a boy in the future. Kate was the only girl name we could agree on, I considered Kathlyne(after both grandmothers) with Kate as nn but dh was not on board.

Oops! Hit reply too fast. I settled on Nicholas with the middle name being Liam because Liam is so popular that I didn't want him to deal with that. Although I love the name!
For a girl the names were Charlotte and Alexandra.

@chicki1012 I still love the name Declan, but will it sound weird if both of our kids have "lan" in their names?? Not at all, the sounds are different I honestly think it's super cute. Lana and Declan.
@NenaMarie84 our girls have the same name, only spelled different. You are the only other I've come across so far. Though, I'm already annoyed having to pronounce it 5 times when peoplw ask her name lol
My boy name would have been Logan, and my alt names were Alice and Sakura.
I was pushing for Nicholas, but DH thoight that sounded nerdy. Lucas won - I had a hard time getting over Lucas from days of our lives. I always thought he was whiny.
Girl name was Ava Hope. DDs middle name is faith, and I kinda want a "faith, hope, and love".
My H picked River's name. It took me a while to come around to it but it really suits her. I always loved Emmaline Jane for a girls name, but now I have a River Emmaline Had she been a boy, name would have been Oliver Edward.
@Sakura16 how is your LO's name spelled? We looked at spelling it different ways since there seems to be lots of options. We haven't come across others with the name yet but read somewhere it's one of the fastest growing names in 2014. Like you we also have to pronounce it for people too. When we picked the name I never expected people to have a hard time with it but a lot do.
We were so stuck on Annabelle up until like 1 month to go. Then I was just sick of it one day. We went with Lily, which is a name I've loved for years, but due to its popularity I was against it at first. I decided I didn't care about the popularity anymore because I reeeeaaallllly loved it. I'm so happy we named her Lily and not Annabelle, especially now that that new creepy doll movie called Annabelle is coming out. I take it as a sign I made the right choice, lol.
@PaintTheAir it is River like from Firefly/Dr. Who. H is slightly obsessed with Dr. Who and I love Firefly. He wanted to go full out and name her River Song...but I refused.
Eleanor (Ellie) and Margaret (Maggie) were our runners up. We didn't have a boy name because we didn't start discussing the name until a month before my due date!
We had decided on Lana a long time ago, so we never came up with a 2nd choice. Although... I would LOVE to name the 2nd Maya if it's a girl after Maya Angelou. I would never name my child after another person, except for her. She has always been such a huge source of inspiration for me.

I agree - plus I say the "lan" in Declan differently than I say the "lan" in Lana so I think they work as a sibset
Re: names
the boys name we were set on was Daniel. Aka Danny as well.
