Share your unused names....

MrsLeanMeanClean · October 2015

So many March boys!.... so yeah I am having a girl and we are at a complete loss for names so through me your useless bones

*other names you like that are not useful to you are welcome... boy or girl

PinkSunglasses16 · October 2015

Avery

That was our girl name we had picked out.

blueeyedrose86 · October 2015

I was at a complete loss as to what we would name a boy. I only liked Sam, but DH has a cousin with that name.

Since we're having another girl, we're about 90% set on Amelia. Other names I like are: Melody, River, Willow, Emily, Mia, and a few others I can't remember.

mcklough · October 2015

Scarlett Lucille

kynbar5 · October 2015

I was going to use Hannah but that's not unused on our board

I did also like Rose and Helen but those were my grandmothers names so we were thinking of incorporating them. However, it's a boy so nope, not getting to use any haha.

Doctor Who fan?

skruhmin · October 2015

Isabel was our very first girl name. Then Hannah.

cmerribury · October 2015

Alice and Lily (not uncommon, I know) for girls.

For a boy, we were tied between Malcolm and Lachlan and ended up going with the former. Lachlan is still hella cute, though.

soxfan9968 · October 2015

We're team green but we've decided on a girl name. Runners up were Isabel and Ava

mrspepper05 · October 2015

Our girl name this time around was Maggie. We also have a Lucy and a Lena.

OK, I want to say "I LOVE Lucy!" but I realize that would be ridiculous and I don't want you to think I'm making fun of it...so, here goes: I genuinely like the name Lucy, it's a favorite of mine.

annamakesthings · October 2015

Our girl name was going to be Claire

That was my first thought too!

kyraaD · October 2015

for girls me & SO were torn between Emerson & Paisley. both not very common, & very pretty in our opinions!
we ended up with a little boy tho, so obviously the names became "useless bones", lol.

Hahaha yessss. I honestly would not be upset if someone else named their daughter Hannah either (:

Before Hannah we had Audrey, Brenna, Elizabeth and Emily. Brenna was my personal favorite but one day my husband changed his mind on me.

criggan · October 2015

We're naming this baby girl Josephine Audrey, but some others we liked were Kalea, Hannah, Leah, Magdalene, and Caroline.

flowerpower5838 · October 2015

Hannah seems to be a much loved name here! If I didn't have a niece named Hannah it would be a girl name contender for us as well!

Some names I LOVE but DH has shot down:

Emily, Lillian, Alexandra, Felicity, Sadie and Audrey/Aubrey

I was thinking the same thing!! I don't really even know any Hannah's other than in passing and none of my friends have kids named Hannah either! I thought we were being trendy but I guess we all just have great taste (;

J234 · October 2015

Camille Louise was our girl name... We also liked Caroline Saoirse and Georgina.

Other boy names we liked were: Spencer, Sebastian, Dashiell, and Marshall.

Me three!

I love Amelia, how beautiful. In fact all the names here are gorgeous. DH and I have been set on a girl's name for years and years since before we even thought about TTC so I have no unused names to offer. But if anyone can throw out more boy names, that'd be good too!
Boys' names are hard!!!!!

MrsLeanMeanClean · October 2015

This was our list at one point.... DH can't agree to anything!

oceanchild · October 2015

This is my current list. Please don't laugh - I know some of these would totally make some of you side-eye (blush). None of these are my throw-always, but idc if someone else names their kid what I'm naming mine

(Marie - mn only, tribute name)
Jamie? or James as mn

Margo

Beatrix (mn for Margo, or fn)
June (mn for Margo)
Rose - C's pick

(Our names all start with the first 5 letters of the alphabet, and we called our MC babe an F name, hence the possibly looking for an F or G name)

oceanchild · October 2015

I really want Margo Beatrix for a girl. My gram is Marjorie Beatrice and she basically raised me as much as my parents did.

Yes

But Melody is actually unrelated. River is also from Firefly, so it's doubly awesome.

ceds07 · October 2015

Our boy name was Gavin Patrick ... Which I loved so of course we're having a girl :-p

Recent contenders for a girl that were in the no pile are Caitlin, Emerson, Molly and Gianna

oceanchild · October 2015

We'd have fun geeking out together @blueeyedrose86, along with several other mamas in our BMB

SarahFoley725 · October 2015

@oceanchild I smiled so many times reading your list!

@MrsLeanMeanClean I really like the name Addison! It's more commonly used for a boys name here though. I also really like Margret.

oceanchild · October 2015

Thanks @SarahFoley725

I don't mind sharing with you guys, but I'd never be brave enough to share in the baby names board. I love reading and giving my thoughts when asked, but it gets harsh in there sometimes haha! And even though someone hating my names would never affect my using them, sometimes my feelers are sensitive. You guys are different though. I said please don't laugh, but I totally understand if you do

Kurtni · October 2015

Ivy, Corinne, Cora, Hazel and Rosalyn were our top picks, but I think we decided on Rosemary for a girl, nn Rosie.

Parker16772 · October 2015

Grace, Avery and Everly. We are having a lot of trouble deciding on a boys name. Good luck!

Once I dreamed a friend of mine had a cute little girl and they named her Amelia and her nn was Molly. IDK that that is a true nn for that name but it seemed like it fit. Lol. I had never considered Amelia before that, but now think it's a great name!

blueeyedrose86 · October 2015

@sahmrey I've never heard that as a nickname for Amelia! I like it. If we end up giving her one, it will probably be Mia, just to avoid Amy. Not that there's anything wrong with Amy, I just don't like it.

ecwk · October 2015

@oceanchild I love your list!!!

Knottie1456889319 · October 2015

We had the following on our list that DH ultimately vetoed: Georgia Mae Isla Elisabeth Josephine Pearl Amelia Grace

I love the name Pearl, I wish I could have got my husband on board. He said it reminds him of the whale from Spongebob.

kynbar5 · October 2015

I just love seeing all these older names that aren't so common these days! I love Pearl and Hazel but I had great grandmothers with those names so I'm biased. My niece is name Lyllian and I love that name too. All these names I'm seeing are beautiful!

nicole103109 · October 2015

We found out were team blue, but our team pink name was Delilah Grace. I'm almost sad it's our last baby so we won't be using it! Maybe I can convince a daughter of mine in the very distant future LOL

Peaches2013 · October 2015

We still dont know our gender but we have lists for both. Our problem is that the name has to be pronounced properly in French and English which has left me with tons of girl names I love but cant use. Some of my faves: Aria, Freya, Clara, Ophelia ...
Apparently I like girl names ending in A lol

I completely understand the language issue.... my family is from Long Island and my husbands from England... Some names like Anna sound completely different so we want to pick one that will be pronounced one way

kitkatbird · October 2015

I was set on Wren Louise. ( for years!) of
Course it's a boy and I don't have any strong preferences for any boy name. Starting to like Evan and Andrew. Maybe Logan. DH is in love with BRUCE! Ick

I love Delilah and I was joking about the same thing the other day as this is also our last. My sister laughed and joked that with how many kids we have I should be able to convince at least one of them to use it! Haha
ETA- @kitkatbird maybe I've had to play with superheroes too many times but I kinda like Bruce!
