So it's definitely way too early to settle on any names yet (just got the positive test!) but I love talking names and it's time to start the lists again! I literally JUST did this 7 months ago when my son was born :-P We finally decided on Bennett Scott for him. Baby #2 will have the middle name Ray/Rae whether it's a boy or a girl.
I really like names that have good nickname options but it's not absolutely required. Our last name is about as common as they come so it can't be too popular of a first name but also not too out there.
I'd love some suggestions to add to our list! Here are some we still like from the last time around:
Out of those names I think Lydia Rae and Calvin Ray sound the best. I love some of the others, like Ezra but it just sounds weird (say Ezra Ray out loud, the ra-Ra blend together, quite a mouthful)
Declan Ray Simon Ray Micah Ray Liam Ray Collin Ray Noah Ray Carson Ray Oliver Ray Tristan Ray Miles Ray Jameson Ray Damian Ray Elliott Ray Dawson Ray
Elodie Rae Lily Rae Olivia Rae Willa Rae Thalia Rae Mila Rae Alexa Rae Camilla Rae Scarlett Rae Violet Rae Delilah Rae Ella Rae Eliza Rae
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'm not crazy about Harper, but my husband likes it a lot. He also likes Evelyn which I totally forgot about! haha.
I actually really liked Juniper and Sylvia but he nixed those... he immediately said Jupiter and Saliva...
I love love love Willa! Unfortunately our last name wouldn't work with it.
I'll add Lucas, Elliott, and Maxwell to our boys list, I think they go great with Bennett!

I love Maeve paired with Bennett!
For the boys, even though Gibson is a surname, I'm kind of liking it. I like Lincoln and Henry too.
