i Know it's early but has anybody decided on baby names and would like to share?? I can hardly get my hubby to talk about it this early but it's just so fun to think about!
My girl name has always been Penelope. SO decided 3 hours after our BFP that if we have a boy he wants to name him Bentley. He's been calling the baby that ever since. No middle names picked yet but they will be family names.
My husband wants to wait until we find out the sex before discussing names. Less debating that way! But I kind of like Conrad Richard for a boy. Both family names. Conrad is the middle name of all the males on my husband's side and Richard is the middle name of the males on my side. For a girl, not sure.
Two days before I got the BFP, I was randomly thinking how awesome the name Desmond is and how it is too bad I won't be able to name a child that. Now, if we have a boy, he is definitely going to be Desmond David.
Also weird is I asked my son who he wanted to invite to his 2nd birthday party and he said "Desi?" and pointed to my stomach. I have never said that name out loud nor have I told my son there's a baby growing in mommy's body. It gives me the chills to think about!
For a girl, I want to honor my mom since my son is named after my father-in-law (Renzo), but my mom has forbidden me from naming a child directly after her. Her name is Diana which I think is beautiful, but whatever. When she signs her name it looks like Iliana, so we might go with that and no idea for a middle name. Maybe Mary or Maria for my mother-in-law?
I love the names Vivian and Evelyn but DH only likes Evelyn. That could very well change before May though. Middle name will be Carmela regardless of what we choose for first name.
DD is Amelia Rose so I've been trying to find something that would sound good saying them together.
Neither one of us can come up with a single boy name!
I always thought I knew what I wanted to name a boy until I found out we are actually expecting!! We've decided for a girl it would be Morgan Jane and we are deciding between Mason/Kory Joseph for a boys name
@saladflambe Your boy runner up name is my DH's name exactly!
We've had names picked out since before we were even engaged. They are pretty extreme, but we're set on them. (We have a very Italian last name that starts with a V).
We will carry on the first son name for my husbands family as far as a girl name in not sure. We haven't actually talked about it but DD is 10 months old and it took us forever to come up with a name. Then we couldn't decide on the spelling, ugh! So like a month before she was born we compromised and her name was set!
Boy- Timothy Scott III Girl- Tessa Renae or Nora Shae (this is what I personally though of)
Growing up I've always loved the name Evelyn but couldn't get DH on it last time! Our DDs names are Adelyn Marie and Makiah Koy'a!
We're French/English speaking, so a name that works in both languages is super important (my name is very French and gets butchered all the time). Girl: Rosalie Emma Boy: Eliott James
We talk about names all the time and it's so hard when you want to honor people from both families because sometimes it doesn't go well with other names we like! So far for a girl, Noelle Hugh (Hugh after my grandfather) and for a boy, we have Matthew but not sure if that will be a middle or first name (after my husbands brother). We haven't found a boys name that we both agree on for the other part! luckily we have until May!
My sons name is brentley For a girl I love the name Kinsley Raye but my husband hates it he like Lexi which I am not fond of! And boy names we both like Ryan Thomas.
If it's a girl I am thinking of Olivia Leigh or Olivia Moon. Moon was MILs birth name before she was adopted from Korea. If it's a boy I'm thinking Jack David
My kids are Coralie Lulette and Nathaniel Grey. Boy: Dashiel or James Kelly Girl: Madeline or Elisabeth Esme. (My daughter is already calling the baby Ella.)
We like Whitney and Brooke for a girl. Boys are harder- I like Jacob. We both like nick (his dad). I don't mind RJ (Ryan jr). But not sold on any of them. The Chinese sex predictor on TB says we are gonna to have a boy so we better start thinking of boy names I guess! Haha!
I didn't think I was going to have another baby, my boys are 8 & 9 Tristan Michael Weston Lee if my boys had been girls they would have been Gracie and Maddison
Before I was pg I started liking the names Ruthie Lucie Olivia (but won't pick cus its too popular)
I won't think too seriously about names until after we know the sex but I love the ideas I'm reading from you all. When we had our sine Elliott we didn't decide on a name until 2 days after he was born!
We've been having a difficult time with this for sure. My background is Arabic and hubby is Hispanic so I would ideally like to find names that incorporate both our cultures but also fit into American culture. So so hard!!

For this baby we have chosen:

If we have a girl this time, she will be named Anna Charlotte after my husband's mother (she passed away a few years ago).
If it's another boy, things get trickier. I'm pushing for Conor Joseph but DH isn't sold on it.
Also weird is I asked my son who he wanted to invite to his 2nd birthday party and he said "Desi?" and pointed to my stomach. I have never said that name out loud nor have I told my son there's a baby growing in mommy's body. It gives me the chills to think about!

For. Boy we have no idea!
My son is Charles Emerson (Charlie)
For a girl I love the name Kinsley Raye but my husband hates it he like Lexi which I am not fond of!
And boy names we both like Ryan Thomas.
I will probably get side-eyed, but our girl name is likely Tippi (like Tippi Hedren).
We've been throwing around some boy names. Mikko is up there, Rocco has come up a few times.
MN for a girl will be my name (because it is a family name, is that weird? I feel weird about it). And for a boy probably my husband's name.
