What names are on your short list?

l4rk · May 2015

Hello! I'm wondering who else out there has their names (or potential set of names) already picked out?

I've already decided on Juliet or James. I can't be the only one who has already chosen...

Also, how many middle names are you going for? One? Two? This is the part I can't decide.

tnt22 · May 2015

Evelyn and Quincy are our current front runners. James is my favorite too but husband doesn't like it (weirdo)!

symplestytches · May 2015

Male- Jeffrey joshua, Charles Lloyd, Killian (no middle picked out yet)
female - holly Victoria, maya Jean, lily eileen

So far anyway! Who knows what we will settle on.

We don't even start the name discussion until we find out what we're having. We learned the hard way last time that can lead to unnecessary fights.

At least this reduces the arguments by 50%.

kaylab3910 · May 2015

We have a girl's name picked out: Grace Charlotte. But we disagree over boys' names. And by disagree, I mean my husband doesn't like any of the ones I throw at him (like 50) and is sticking to his guns on two, Bradley and Eric Jr.

debstrobel · May 2015

We have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years, so we've had names picked out for quite some time. Lol!
Autumn Elise for a girl
Greysen William for a boy.

l4rk · May 2015

You guys have such great names! I considered Joshua, Charlotte and Bradley too at one point or another. My DH and I have different last names; we're giving the baby his so he's pretty compromising on the rest.

DaphneMoon1 · May 2015

Luke Andrew for a boy.

Girls are harder. We both like Olivia, but it's super popular. We are discussing other options. Amelia, Abigail, Anne, and a few others. Nothing is sticking like Luke.

daniisaurusrex · May 2015

Boy: Colton Ryder
Girl: Sydney Jade
first and middle names so far... don't really see myself changing them but we will see me and my husband agree on these O:-)

indibidule · May 2015

My hubby and his dad have the same initials so it's been something we've talked about for when we end up having kids. And I've had a girl's name picked out since I saw it in a book when I was a kid and all we had to do was come up with a middle name. Now that were actually pregnant, we just have to know if it's going to be a boy or a girl. We're looking at Miles Alexander and Alanna Jade.

kmcc14 · May 2015

Addison for a girl.

We both have very different taste for boy names, so that has been more of a challenge. Our top picks for now are Reid and Lincoln. I love Emmett, but DH is not a fan.

SBH041815 · May 2015

If we have a girl: Mary

And for a boy: Henry or maybe Andrew...not sure on the boy name yet.

robertin · May 2015

If we have a girl, we're screwed. It took us forever to decide on Natalie. If it's a boy, Camden Matthew. I know Camden isn't everyone's slice of pie but we love it.

andimegie325 · May 2015

Zachary James or Noah Ryan for boys and Chloe Jean or Emma Grace for girls. The boys middle names are for family members and both the girls names are my great grandmothers'.

mommaSimpkin · May 2015

If we have a girl: Raelee Elaine.
Ray is my dad's middle name. So we converted it to a girl form and put my brothers middle name (lee) at the end.
Elaine was both my grandmothers names and my middle name. I've always wanted to pass it on to my daughter as a family name.

For a boy: Samuel Albert Michael
I liked sam, but wanted something he could grow into. So we went with Samuel. Albert is DH's grandpas middle name. (His grandfather was his father figure). Michael is DH's middle name.

Both names we picked have huge meaning to us. We only have one middle name for our potential daughter, but decided on two middle names for our potential son.

abbi1995 · May 2015

Loralei Kate for a girl and Liam Chandler for a boy

allisond2013 · May 2015

Boy- Beckham or Brecken
Girl- Kinsley

When we had our first we had 3 boy names. No girls. Finally got him to agree on a girls name

Buehler99 · May 2015

Boy - Hudson Charles. Both of our dads' name is Charles.

Girl - Karsyn Elizabeth. Elizabeth is my middle name, and it just fit.

amberrrjade · May 2015

We've had all our names picked out since #1. Chibi Lady is Marlena Grace.

Girl : Alicia (??)
Boy : Gianluca Edgardo

We are entertaining Oberyn if we ever have another boy.

DjinnaG · May 2015

The last name thing is the big question with us, as we both think it should get ours. Will probably have to use both, though that raises the question, my last name first or his? They're at different ends of the alphabet, so that will probably be the deciding factor. I don't really care (I'm mid-early alphabet, so since I got in mid-early on things, I'm neutral; he's very end of the alphabet, so has experience as to whether or not that sucks).

First names are easy, only one that's ever been tossed around that's been a "No, no way in hell is my child getting stuck with that name" reaction is Eben. I feel bad about that, as it comes from a good friend of his that died, but I can't allow a defenseless child to be saddled with that, no matter the reason behind it.

catnipskma · May 2015

Girl: Jennifer Grace

Boy: Trystan Winchester

I have an end of the alphabet last name and I don't think it has greatly impacted my life. Honestly, I'd go with whatever rolls off the tongue better and sounds cooler! Ahaha.

malgal85 · May 2015

Loving the names! Hopefully we see the baby this Thursday, and if so our names for a boy are Gideon, Ezekiel and Reece.

For girls we have the family name Lula Belle at the top, with Truly, Eevie and Gemma in a close second

rachel10488 · May 2015

aporcelainface · May 2015

Boy - Grayson James, Camden James

Girl - Lilliana Jane with some backups picked, but this is our go-to.

saraawlbr · May 2015

We decided ours on a drive to ikea haha. No fighting at all surprisingly! Who knows if that will change the closer we get to due date.

We love Lucy Agnes for a girl and Declan Macelroy for a boy. Agnes is a family name passed down through generations on my side and Macelroy is DHs grandfather whom he never knew.

MrsTeacher25 · May 2015

Right now we like:

Boy: Grayson James, Aiden James or Jackson Robert

Girl: Adalyn Raye, Delaney Nicole or Ella Margaret

We picked the middle names for grandparents names or special meaning. Nothing is written in stone yet though.

x0sweetpea7x · May 2015

As of right now we have some solid names picked out.

Boy: Lucas Daniel
Girl: Sofia Christina

Daniel is his only brothers name and Christina is my only sisters name so that was easy.

We're tossing around a few others like Avery for a boy and Olivia for a girl but I'm stuck on our first picks.

I also love Delilah, Isabel and Eliza for girls and Jacob, Caleb, Jaxon and Sebastian for boys.

danasphillips · May 2015

I have no. clue. And we won't be finding out the sex which makes things trickier. DS is Theodore (nn Teddy) and I feel like I'll never top that because it fits him so perfectly. All of our kids will have two middle names because DH and I have different last names, so we use mine as a mn.

winnie1122 · May 2015

We keep coming back to the name Eleanor as one we both like for a girl, I really like Declan and Peter for boys and Abigail for a girl. We'll see!

neumann14 · May 2015

Londyn Lee for a girl and Daniel Dean fir middle names of boy but we can't decide on a first

babybluu · May 2015

Blake or Bethany! We always wanted a boy first but I'm kind of hoping its a girl because I'm just so excited about having a Bethany!

I love Juliet! And James is a very strong name

ETA: Reading through this thread I'm so jealous of all your boy names! DHs and his fathers initials are the same (BWL) and both of their middle names are Wesley. So DH said that our sons name has to start with a B... which is really hard to find names that start with just a B. Especially when he hates ALLLL of them. We decided on Blake because that was the ONLY one he didnt hate (besides Blade but... yeah no.) and Blake is my little brothers middle name, so I get a little bit of my family in there too. I love the names we have, but sometimes I wish I could have more freedom choosing. Oh well, I can with the second boy

I LOVE Theodore!

adcc43 · May 2015

If we have a girl we like the name June as the first name. My husband and I can't even begin to agree on one boy name but I really like the name Rockwell and call him Rocky.

The middle name is set and will be the same whether boy or girl. The middle name will be Patrick after my H's brother that passed when they were teens.

That's an interesting idea! We're using my DH's last name, but it never occurred to me that mine could be a middle name... My last name is very unconventional but I am going to seriously consider doing this too.

Meg920 · May 2015

I have a feeling we are having a boy, but it's way to early to be sure. We want to name him Michael Thomas. Michael is my maiden name and also my husbands brothers name. Thomas is is grandfathers name. We already decided that! For a girl I like Ryan Ann or Ellie Mae, but for a girl we are not sure!

We have a Theodore! He goes by Theo. I feel the same way as you. I feel like we found THE perfect name; how can we possibly top that?
