DH and I are expecting Baby #2, a sweet lil boy, in July. We have a 2 year old daughter named Gwen. The only names we can (somewhat!) agree on are below. We have a common Irish last name (I'm sure you could guess it from my screenname :)). Opinions please. Thanks so much!
Baby #2 -- TEAM BLUE -- due 7/8/15

    I voted for Sean, as it's falling in the rankings. After that I'd pick Luck Luke (I apprantly can't type today), since it's a classic name that has been around forever.

    The only thing I'd suggest before you finalize your name choice (cause honestly they're all good) Put them and your last name in Google and make sure you don't get an axe murderer on page one for results. 
  • I love Luke.

    Please not Aiden, it's so over used.

    I think Gwen and Luke make a cute sibset!!
  • Sean. I feel like Declan is getting really overdone. I know 3 under 3.
  • Sean or Lucas. The other two are way too popular.
  • I'm partial to Sean since that's DH's name. :) Luke is nice too. Declan and Aiden are too popular for my taste.

    I love Declan and Luke (although I prefer Lucas a little more). Both are great with Gwen.
    Sean is meh.
    Please, not Aiden. Soo overdone.

    As an Irish name Aidan is actually awesome. However after it's recent usage and the trend of throwing every letter in the alphabet in front of it, it has lost it's appeal unfortunately. 

    I actually really like Sean and find it to be a great pair with Gwen. 

    Luke/Lucas is so overdone and now Luca is becoming the next spin. 

    Declan is just eh for me.  


  • I'm partial to Sean as it's DS's name. Declan is really popular lately so he probably won't be the only one. I feel like Luke is a nickname (I know it could be standalone, but to me it sounds nicknamey). Aidan is a solid choice too.
  • Thank you ladies SO much!  I'm thinking Aiden is out, Sean's the top contender.  A family member said Luke?  Puke!  last night.  So of course now I'm imagining DS being made fun of.  I'm liking Andrew and Dylan as possiblities.  Ugh my poor boy, hopefully we'll have him named before his first birthday!  :))

  • I am a teacher and have never heard any kid say "Luke Puke"- lol, but info know that anything is possible! I have an Andrew- I love that it's a classic name (good for resumes, etc. later), but also has nicknames if you want- we call ours both Drew and AJ (he's Andrew Joseph). Good luck- it sounds like you are making some progress!
  • I actually called my neighbor Luke "Puke" while growing up... because I was such a nice child. Haha! I really like Sean.
  • I like the Irish name options with your last name. Of the 3, I'd probably go with Sean. Declan is great, but becoming very popular. Aiden is great too, but sadly became ridiculously popular for awhile, and also gets lost among all the made-up names that rhyme with it.
  • I love Aiden but theres so many out there now that it was quickly crossed off our list. Luke I love too! Declan, no way. Sean, very Irish but so blah.
