Just for fun- name(s) you've picked if you're still waiting on your baby

Karenin · January 2016

Since those of us still waiting are likely bored or frustrated and looking for distractions, have you selected a name or finalist names you'll be choosing from? (I love lurking the name board but obviously care more about everyone here so I'm curious.)

We never settle on a name until after the baby is born, but for this little girl I think it's down to Nora and Rory. DH also likes Riley and double first names with Mary (Mary Clare, Mary Frances, Mary Margaret) but Riley is a bit too trendy for me and the Mary combination names, while lovely, sound like nun names and we are Irish and Catholic as it is so it feels like overkill.

We're stuck between Tess and Rose. We really love both options but want to wait to meet her and decide. I feel like Tess is more feisty and cerebral, and Rose is more classic and beautiful (and the nickname Rosie is very cute.) I'm hoping I'll know once I see her little face!

We have a middle name game where each day around her due date has a different middle name we'll use, but if I have to get induced, we'll throw that out and then just pick our faves. I think they would currently be:

Tess Emmeline or Tess Violet, or
Rose Quinlan

(The middles are all family names, other than Emmeline, we just like the sound of it.)

We loved Nora. Her name would have been Nora Adele, which we loved but we didn't love Nora without the middle name with our last name. It broke our hearts. We settled on Kylie Adele and I love it, but it was something that didn't come off our short list, we came up with it in labor and delivery lol

My sister's name is Mary and I've always loved it. Her middle name is Ann, which somehow sounds less nun-like, but she was only ever called Mary Ann if she was in trouble. Ahaha. Most people won't use the double name anyway...

I've settled on Juliet for this sweet baby girl, if she ever decides to make an arrival.

claireloSC · January 2016

We chose Penelope Katherine. Katherine is my sister's name. We weren't sure if the nn would be Penny or Poppy but we chose Poppy in the end. Poppy seems more defiant, which this LO is by not showing up yet!

paigeyferd · January 2016

@maureenmce Both those names were on my list as well. DH and I both have 1 syllable names so we wanted short and sweet! We chose Rose Renèe. But we'll just call her Rose (or Rosie or Rosebud lol).

jordans_wife · January 2016

Brantley for a boy and Quinn for a girl. Can't wait to see which one it's gonna be!

Caprine89 · January 2016

Theron Gregory

I'm not a huge fan of Gregory but it's a family name on hubby's side and it went well with a lot of the names we liked.

mamakculb · January 2016

DS is Troy Joseph. We had picked Liliana Marie months ago, but a few weeks ago I started hating it. Now we are still stuck again but our current favorites are:

Talia Noelle
Isabella Marie
Sophia Marie
Sophie Louise
Hannah Louise
Hannah Michelle

maureenmce · January 2016

@paigeyferd - Love Rose Renee, what a lovely choice!

And @claireloSC - I adore the name (or nickname) Poppy! It is super feisty and adorable. My boss's boss has a little 4 year old named Poppy and she lives up to both aspects of the name. It was on our short list actually, but we finally decided that one syllable first names fit better with our surname. But anyway, love Penelope and love the Poppy nn!

mrscammack · January 2016

Well be naming our little girl Charlotte Grace (if she ever decides to get here lol)

claireloSC · January 2016

Thank you so much @maureenmce! I'm slightly partial to Tess for the feisty part - I love girl names with a little spunk to them!

I'm assuming Maureen is your first name...another name I love - it's my mom's name!

BarrettJ89 · January 2016

@kristanoah putting my vote in for Talia Noelle. I loooove it! Sounds good with Troy and I'm a sucker for a name that flows.

Ameehan81592 · January 2016

We've picked Autumn Sophia

livins · January 2016

We named our DD Laurel Rosina and didn't have any other options for girls, but had two for boys since we were Team Green. If the baby had been a boy we probably would've named him Dean William, but called him Tripp. My DH and FIL are both Deans but different middle names so he wouldn't have been a third but there still would've been 3 of them and I think calling him Tripp would have given him a unique identity.

mamakculb · January 2016

@BarrettJ89 Thanks for your vote! So far it's our favorite too. Our only concern is that we would be starting a T trend in naming our kids and we want a few more haha

makeshifwings · January 2016

If this little girl ever decides to come out (40+3 now...), she will be Amelia Michelle! Michelle is my 14 year old sister's name. I was there when she was born (I was 12) and she will be there when Amelia is born. We picked Amelia as a strong, old fashioned name, and inadvertently named her after Amy Pond from Doctor Who

BarrettJ89 · January 2016

@kristanoah We started that way, kind of. My SO has a daughter from his first marriage, Kayla. Then together we have Cohen. I couldn't do it again. Lol so now we've got Brynlee. Between the kids and the animals, I mix up the names regardless of initials...

Life is Exciting · January 2016

Eva Rose

Eva was both of our Great-Grandmother's names and Rose is a family name for my husband.

CaraBoonie · January 2016

@makeshifwings YASSS AMY POND! She's my favorite

In 3 minutes (or by the time I'm done typing this even, haha) it will be my due date. When she decides to grace us with her presence, this little one will be named Maya Rae. We're a mixed family (part Catholic Colombian, part Muslim Turkish, part Jewish German/Polish, we joke that she's a world peace baby) and we wanted her name to not scream out any one race or religion. We started just looking for a name we liked the sound of, and then were pleased to learn that Maya has roots in many countries with many cool meanings...from a Hindu goddess, generous in Persian, water in Hebrew, princess in Arabian, love in Nepali, and much more.

PedsIsHardcore · January 2016

DD2 will be Arizona after Dr. Arizona Robbins from Grey's Anatomy. SO is named after his mom's favorite soap opera. It was Dr. Arizona Robbins for a girl or Dr. Luka Kovac for a boy. I love my medical shows and SO is into them too.
Her nickname will be Ari. Ari means lion in hewbrew. I'm Jewish.

littleloves3 · January 2016

@Life is Exciting we were deciding between Eva Rose and Emma Rose and ended up choosing the latter. Love the name though

makeshifwings · January 2016

@CaraBoonie we didn't do it on purpose, but as soon as I realized one of her namesakes would be Amelia Pond I knew she could have no other name!!

ByeByeSpotts · January 2016

Isabelle Marjorie May if it's a girl.
Marjorie is my grandma's name, may is my husband's grandma name

Connor Austin if it's a boy.
Austin is my grandma's maiden name and also my middle name.

mom2be2016 · January 2016

"Life is Exciting" we named our girl Eva Josephine. Love the name!

mamabear89071516 · January 2016

If he ever decides to arrive, our baby boy will be Levi Clarence. We both have 4 letter first names so we wanted to keep the trend! And it sounds good with our last name. Clarence after hubbys grandfather who passed just before we met. If he had been a girl she would have been Lillian (lily) Priscilla. Lily because we both liked it, and Proscilla after my gram who passed when I was in college. I hope to have a little girl in the future so I can use her name!

I love all of you who chose Rose! I love flower names, we couldn't choose Rose though it's our beloved dog's name! Poppy is such a great flower name too!!

hopefully we can meet our tiny loves soon!
