    I love all the strong names on here! We just found out it's girl, and my only requirement for a girls' name is that it needs to sound good with CEO, Esq. or MD/DO after it. I am not a tiger mom I swear, I just don't love cutesy girls names. We are going with Claire.

    Our son's name is Henry Alfred (after our grandads) and we will probably go with Madeleine Eloise for this little lady uterine resident, after my dhs late grandmother :) I will call her Malou since my grandad used to call me m'lou after an old song by Paul Robeson. Other contenders are Amélie, Charlotte and Lucy. My dh is francophone and I'm anglophone so the name has to translate well. We will wait to meet her before finalizing though.

    Gunnar.

    The baby names board had a field day with it, but IDGAF.

    This exactly!! I asked opinions on a few names Gunnar/Gunner being one of them and got a few not so lovely opinions. I appreciated them all, but it won't change my mind on liking the name.
    I am not personally a fan of the Gunner spelling. Gunnar is Scandinavian and very old. It means Warrior in Old Norse.

    I don't think they are pronounced the same either. Correct me if I'm wrong? @scoutfinch13

    Technically no they aren't, but I just can't see myself saying Gunnar and it being pronounced Goo-nar.If we go with it we will just pronounce it as Gun-ner, because like she said I don't like the Gunner spelling.

    We have changed our minds so many times . Now the middle name is the only thing questionable .. Elliette Blake ..

    I'm not sure about a first name yet. I love Liam, Sean, Ryan. There are a handful of other names I really like but they start with the letter C, which I'd like to avoid as DS is Corbin...not big on doing same letter first names. Middle name will be Bradley after my grandfather.

    If this baby had been a girl she would have been Aubrey Victoria. We decided on that during my first pregnancy before we knew the sex but we ended up with my boy Corbin instead :)

    Nothing is very close to definite but for a girl we like Zoey. I love Eloise (nickname Elle) but my husband isn't sold. I hated Eloise at first but it grew on me and I love it now! Middle name either Jane or Catherine after my grandmothers. Rocco for a boy after my great grandfather. Middle name probably Charles after my Dad, Poppop and husband's Pop. It's tough bc our last name is one syllable and we want a first name with at least two syllables.

    We've decided on the first name: William, Will for short. It's my dad's middle name and FIL's first name (but he goes by Bill).

    We haven't chosen a middle name yet, mostly because we haven't decided on the last name. I kept my maiden name, and I would really like to hyphenate baby's LN. H is completely against it. So much so that he would prefer baby just have my LN rather than hyphenate, but he really wants it to be his LN. He won't even discuss hyphenating, but I'm going to give it one last try...
    I also kept my maiden name. DH *hates* this. The compromise we made was that our kids will have his last name and at daycare / school I'll also use that name.

    That's the thing. He was totally fine with me keeping my maiden name, but when it comes to baby, I guess he feels differently...

    Boy - Archer (Archie) Joseph or Maxwell (Max) Joseph

    Girl - Zoey Ann

    Big brother's name is Elijah but we call him Eli. Someone told me Archie is the name of Eli Mannings dad, I don't want people to think we are crazy Manning fans is my only worry.

    We have top contenders. Mila Celeste or Norah Elise/Elyse (don't know the proper spelling) for a girl and Lucas Grey for a boy. We also really really really want Eden for a boy but I'm worried about it being too feminine. It can be pronounced E-den or ED-en to make it a little more masculine. It seems to be a popular UK name for males. We also like Silas and Micah

    I LOVE the name Mila. It was in my top 3.

    I think we are 100% going with Claire Marie. We just haven't actually said it yet. But I've been set on Claire since college, and DH likes it. Marie is a family name.

    If we have a girl, her name will be Eva. If it turns out it's a boy it will be a neverending struggle with my man, I hate all of his boy name suggestions. I'd name him Niko!

    As I posted in my aw announcement, we did make a final decision. Lincoln Denver. Family name and our hometown. I like announcing the sex and name all at once because I didn't want any suggestions or opinions. Lol. We did the same with my daughter so I thought we would do it again this time. Plus I didn't want to go back and forth for months on the name after learning th sex so we chose and are sticking with it!

    Good choice. We are naming our boy Lincoln Anthony. Lincoln was the only name that isn't super popular that my husband and I agreed on, and Anthony is my late fathers name.

    Annabelle Grace... We decided on that name before I got pregnant the first time! Three babies later we are FINALLY having a girl. Although, the middle name was going to be Rose and at my 3D/4D ultrasound we decided that didn't fit.

    Our little boy will be Theodore Stephen. We've started calling him our teddy bear, but as he grows up we will call him theo for short.

    Eve or Edward. We wont find out what it is for another week though.
    I had Eve picked out for years and he had Edward, so there was no real issue there! Middle names however were a different story.

    Also the "This baby will never have a name." option made me giggle, probably too much!

    Ugh I've had a girl name set for years because I'm a crazy person but H wanted an Italian name for a boy. He wants Vincent which is fine but Vinny! With the Philly accent around here! *cringe*

    Does he realize how difficult it is to find an Italian boy name that isn't as common as Anthony but isn't as ridiculous as Guido?! His dad's name is Giuseppe! Sorry all the Lorenzo's and Mario's and Giuseppe's of the world, but no thank you! Not for me. Too much like a pizza place or the cast of jersey shore.

    What about Alessandro? I have a friend with an Italian-born husband and her little guy is Alessandro, but goes by Alex.

    I have also heard Nico.

    To add to the Italian name help I work with a few Italians and  and some of them have amazing names! one girl is named Natasia (which I think is beautiful) her brothers are Julian and Matthew ( her Dad is a Bruno)  a few Michael's and yes I have a Vincenzo  and a Rocco in the house as well.

    My MIL was 2nd generation Italian so we have some good names in the family. H's grandfather was Nello. If we had a boy, his MN was going to be Anton- H's MN & another grandfathers name. First name was Jude, but that was from my FIL's German side. :-) Good Luck!

    Our girls name is Joslyn Marie, Jo or Josie for NN. Our first is Rosetta Dae (both family names) and her NN's are Ro and Rosie. I think they sound so cute together! Plus, FIL is Joseph and goes by Joe. Rosetta was my MIL's name and we all called her Rosie. I'm happy I'll have a Rosie and Jo again. (Even if it is 2 girls! :-) )

    It is fun to see what everyone else is thinking of for names.
    We are leaning towards Coleman Haskell, with Haskell being a family name. We are so close to being official, but then we get torn with just waiting till we get to see him. Who knows what what we will decide to do!

    We're pretty sure we want Caliber. Caliber John? Taking after dad and grandpa. We want something that flows, nothing choppy.

    We won't find out for a few more weeks what the sex is. Right now we are thinking of waiting for the baby to come to make a final decision. We have all the initals we like and some names written down. But just can't decide.

    We have decided on naming our baby boy Evan. His middle names will be after our dads - Evan Robert James :) We are keeping his name a secret until he is born :)

    I love Evan! I think that would've been my first choice if we didn't have a friend with a son named that. But he's not that close of a friend any more so I'm still considering it..... Haha

    Edited to say: Hmm, now I REALLY am thinking about it!! If we switch to Evan, I hope you won't mind!! :D
    hehe of course I don't mind :) - we were set on Cameron for the longest time. It came up years ago when we were discussing "future baby names" and it stuck. Recently DH's office moved and he now sits beside a coworker named Cameron so he thinks it would be weird but hadn't ruled it out altogether. On the way home from our gender reveal photoshoot after finding out we are having a boy we were going through lists and when I suggested Evan we both kind of looked at each other and just knew. The next morning we both said how much we loved it and knew it had to be his name.

    Found out yesterday were having a boy and my husband finally quit with the ridiculous names and started listening to what I was saying. Anyway we were between Greyson and Levi... I wanted Levi and was ok with Greyson. Then my aunt yesterday was like Greyson's cute but... Gracie? And so then he was like never mind Levi it is. Lol yay for my aunt. ;) anyway it'll be Levi Mikel. My great grandfather was a Levi (not why I picked the name just coincidence). And Mikel is my husband'a name. Pronounced mick-el. Not Michael. Technically it's meekel in Spanish.

    Levi and Greyson are on our list too but I'm leaning towards Greyson.
