I think DH and I are pretty settled on our names - Natalie Elizabeth for a girl and Connor Wayne for a boy. But there's still plenty of time for me to change my mind, and I'm a pretty indecisive person, lol. We'll see!
Not sure of the sex yet, but I'm pretty sure it's a girl. My son is 15 mo. Now - his name was easy for me and I fell in love with it : Dexton Scott. I'm having a hard time with girl names but hubby and I like names that are a little boyish. Example: Austyn, Blake, dalton.
@bigred226 I'm not for sure how to pronounce Imogen. Immediately I say in my head "Ima gene" Is that correct?
Yeah IMA-gen. I like it I'm just worried it would get shortened to 'Immy'.
It's interesting the name trends in different countries. I'm Australian and the trendy names here are very different to those in the US. Loving the variety though!

@bigred226 I'm an Aussie living in America and have to think about both countries for names as I hope one day we'll move back!
I've been throwing around boy names in my head for weeks, but we just found out we're having a girl and I can't think of girl names at all, much less ones we would agree on. Hubby is stuck on Mildred, because he had a grandma Millie - her real name was Camille- so no I'm not sticking a child with the name Mildred right now.
What about Miley? Or Milena. I know a little girl with that name and she is adorable! They call her Millie for short.

We just found out that we're having two girls, so now we need two girl names. I haven't discussed with my H yet, but these are my top choices so far:
1. Caroline & Margaux: Caroline to honor my H's grandmother and Margaux b/c I love it and our last name is French so it honors our heritage. This combo is currently my front runner. Classic, but not super popular right now.
2. Rosalind & Lillian: nicknames would be rose & lily for a flower theme.

Pretty sure Miley isn't a real name. It was Miley Cyrus's nickname as a child -"Smiley Miley" then she eventually changed her name, legally, from Destiny to Miley

I like the sound of Miley even if it's made up instead of destiny but I'm not a fan of those types of names. "Destiny. Chance. Heaven. Neveah. Miracle. Serenity. Sunshine. Night sky.....

Anything is better than Destiny! Lol totally agree!

I feel pretty confident that Miley Cyrus was not the first Miley in the world. Pretty sure it's a real name. Though I do agree that I'm not a fan of Destiny.
Our naming struggle is getting more and more real as we are now having to come up with a boy-boy combo, girl-girl combo, and boy-girl combo for names. I thought we were struggling before and now it's just harder. We will get there though. We are thinking if the twins are boy-girl of going with Malcolm and Zoey.
We had a girl's name set. Then we found out we're having a boy. H and I are having a hard time agreeing. I think the front runner is Bennett Milton. Milton is my maiden name. Not 100% sold though.
Okay, so we finally think we have names picked for if the twins are girls. No middle names yet, but we're liking Callisto (could be Callista, but in mythology she spells it with an "o" so we will probably stick with that) and Elizabeth. Callie and Liz/Lizzie.
This is our second DD and man... The name was wayyyyy harder to agree on this time around. But it's been settled. Ivy Elizabeth Rose. (Rose Elizabeth is my sisters/her god others middle name). :-)
We find out gender on 9/30... But if it's a boy, he will be Raymond George; Raymond was his grandfathers first name, and George was my mothers maiden name. And if it's a girl, she will be Fae Harper. Just because we like that name.
I'm curious as to how it's pronounced? And also how you came up with it?
Tore-guyer is the best way I explain it. It's definitely the middle name I love the name Gaear from the movie Fargo--but I've found variations of the name that I like better.
We've decided on Owen Avery. The boyfriend didn't like Owen at first, but within a few hours he loved it and didn't want anything else. We were playing around with Archer and Myles before, but came across Owen and it was perfect. If it was a girl, we were going to go with Amelia Rose.

My niece's name is Amelia Rose and she is precious!
Hubby and I just found out that we're having a little boy and are throwing around a few names right now: Bryce and Tanner are our front runners and Matthew would be the middle name either way. Matthew is my husbands name and my dad's who died last June. Bittersweet but honors both sides of the family.
I'm in love with my girls name: Brielle Rose.. maybe next time? We have friends with girls, Eleanor "Ellie" and Stella, I wanted Brielle to throw into the group of little "Elle's." *Sigh*
I'm so thrilled to have a boy though, so I'll just leave it at that.

Our front runner is Bryce Matthew too! So awesome!!
Is anyone planning to use two middle names, or has an opinion on it?
We were planning to honor both SO and I's maternal grandmother's, but we would also like to honor SO's paternal grandmother as she has gotten pretty sick since we found out back in June.
We were initially planning on naming her Nadine Grace but are now looking at naming here Nadine Grace Marie.

@egraves4 it may be better to hyphenate than have two separate middles. I'm thinking on paperwork, documents and such that only have one middle name slot, it would be easier hyphenated. I'm personally not a fan of double middle names and haven't researched it thoroughly, so someone chime in if I'm way off on the hyphenating.
Our daughter will have two middle names because it is tradition on my H's side to honor a maternal and paternal grandparent. A hypen is not necessary. My H has two and we've never had a problem when it comes to forms , paperwork or documentation. People are generally intelligent enough to figure out they're middle names.

For a girl, we like Alice, Eloise, Claire, and Josephine.
We will prob change our minds a million times, right up to the delivery.
