Names!

JRD3516 · October 2016

@mcdonald-bailey My daughter will have the middle name Rose also! Today, my front runner first names are Amelia, Emma or London. DH and I can't really make a "final" decision or anything but I think we are leaning towards Amelia Rose.

We are struggling with names. A girl name, possibly Irish as she's due so close to St. Patty's day...today I'm liking the name Bridget, but, I need options and am coming up blank.

Gators&BoSox · October 2016

@goodmorning12 I like Bridget! Also suggesting the Irish names:

Riley
Brianna
Casey
Cassidy
Fiona
Keira
Quinn
Adeline
Aubrey
Shannon
Alanna
Brielle
Teagan

I think we have it down to two names first names, and set on a middle name. The name DH likes more, this baby will have the same initials as DS, which I'm not a huge fan of. It would be mostly a coincidence, but then I almost feel boxed into it if we have a third kid, and I don't like that at all. Would it be weird for two kids to have the same initials and a third one not?
I might just take the easy road out and use the other name, which we also like...

thisisallyson · October 2016

After weeks of negotiations, I think we have decided to name our baby boy Mason Timothy. Mason because 1. we like it and 2. my DH and several men in his family are/were freemasons so it is a nod to them without it being blatant; and Timothy after both my brother who has a disability and will never have children of his own and my FIL. We are still looking at other names just to keep our options open but I don't know, this little guy seems like this name will fit him. Is Mason too common of a name though? I really don't want him to always have to include his last initial because there are 3 other Masons in his class at school.

dizzymom-2 · October 2016

@thisisallyson I really like Mason. It was in our top 5. Popularity varies by state. You can look it up on the social security website. We're in Illinois and as of present Mason is in the top 10 boys names. I personally would pick whatever I felt was right- popular or not.

thisisallyson · October 2016

@DizzyMom Gah! I am in Illinois too. Picking a name for our son has been so difficult (DH won't just let me name him whatever I want....THE NERVE! haha) and now that we both like Mason, I don't wanna ruin it.

Hi ladies! It's been a few months since I've actively posted, but I do lurk!

DH and I have decided on Bowen if we have a boy. What are your honest opinions on that name? Thanks!

Goodmorning12 · October 2016

@Gators&BoSox I love Teagan! And Adeline! Thanks!

Gators&BoSox · October 2016

happy to be helpful

Gators&BoSox · October 2016

although further research indicates adeline is french as I had originally thought... idk why it was on an irish baby list..

Goodmorning12 · November 2016

Well Teagan is definitely Irish & Adeline is still a lovely name

cbhemi1218 · November 2016

Well after finding out we are having a girl we down to 2 options
Kayla rose (husbands pick)
Or
Aliyah rose ( my pick)

I really like them both but thinking about nicknames i am liking leah more than kay......

Mrs.Philipp · November 2016

We have decided on names!

Ava Grace or Mason Joseph

We find out tomorrow which name we will be going with!

catrb89 · November 2016

@aggiejenn37 LO's name is going to be Emilia Rae

Such a cute name that you can shorten when she's young, and grow into when she's older

MrsDangerReuss · November 2016

We found out we are having a girl and her name is Blakely. Now we're just trying to decide between Rose and Grace for her middle name.

ShaunaT25 · November 2016

Names are by far the most difficult part of team green. We were leaning toward Isla Margaret for a girl, but have also thrown around:
Bellamy
Dallas
Maisie
Blair
Tavia
Sloan

And for boys

Anders
Clinton Thomas
Corbin
Carter
Piers
Asher
Declan
Deacon

Any thoughts ladies

Edit to add:

Gunnar, which is on the top of my list.

jmacd22 · November 2016

@ShaunaT25 I selfishly love the name Dallas

dizzymom-2 · November 2016

@ShaunaT25 I love Asher. It was at the top of my list, but DH vetoed it.

cbhemi1218 · November 2016

We had choosen Asher Hale for my boy name but ended up with a baby girl!!
But i am still in love with Asher!

littleSkittle14 · November 2016

@ShaunaT25 I am loving Declan or maise!!

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

@cbhemi1218 just out of curiosity what do you have picked out for little girl? I was head over heals for our boy name, Alistair, but this is our last babe and it's a girl lol. I'm secretly wishing that somewhere down the road someone close to me will choose the name haha

cbhemi1218 · November 2016

@Gators&BoSox we are choosing between kayla rose and aliyah rose. i love them both. i just cant decide.
My boys are anthony and joshua.

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

both are really pretty.. you'll choose the one that fits

chrlyr · November 2016

We've decided on Alexander Eliot. Still tinkering with the spelling for Eliot. DH likes this spelling after T.S. Eliot. DS1's middle name is Emerson, so this would be our second literary name. Too pretentious?

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

That flows really well. Since it's a middle name I really think Eliot is fine

and the boys will have that connection

anonellis · November 2016

@chrlyr I like it! And hopefully it will make both of them want to read something by their "namesakes" one day. (I'm an avid bookworm and my husband is not...I'm totally desperate to raise readers. I know I can't totally control that but I'll do ask much as I can!)

aggiejenn37 · November 2016

@catrb89 I love it! We always get compliments on the name Emilia. We are struggling to find a name for girl #2 that we love just as much!

babyspice · November 2016

I'm loving the name Miles! ....but anyone else not doing a middle name by any chance?

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

Miles is a great choice! We are doing a MN... I find it's a nice way for us to honor loved ones..just curious, do you have a specific reason for not wanting to do one?

I am doing a middle name to honor my angel baby but my best friend and husband don't have middle names. I was considering giving baby a name with same initials as DH but then ditched the idea

kiyamurph · November 2016

I think we might actually have a girl's name that we both like. Victoria. We need something that goes well with big brother Oliver and we both like classic names. We were watching The Crown on Netflix and the woman who plays Princess Margaret's name is Victoria. Husband said he liked. I said I liked it and that was that. However, I'm not in love with it. I like it, but I so don't want someone to call her Vicky/i. I love Viola but husband isn't sold and he likes it as a middle name. I don't think Victoria Viola flows well. We're still drawing a big blank on a boy's name. Ugh this is even harder than the first time around!

babyspice · November 2016

@Gators&BoSox I totally understand that! For us we really don't have a need to have one if that makes sense... no family or friends names that we would add to his name, no multiple beloved names we can't live without. So DH and I found it unnecessary to add one. I actually would love to hear more people's reasons for wanting to have a middle name because I know it's unpopular that we won't have one. I asked a friend of mine and she said that it's because they would have a name to switch to if they didn't like their first name. I thought that was an interesting reason. hopefully he will like his given name but if he doesn't I think he could always change it to whatever he wants when he's old enough regardless of a middle name.

PattersRN · November 2016

I think we've settled on Nicolaas Alexander (Nicolaas is the Dutch spelling).

Alistair was on my boys list the first time around! I'm sorry you can't use it, still love that name. We have a son with MN Alexander now though, so we wouldn't have used it even if this one were a boy. Alas.

After lots of vetoing on both sides, I think we've finally settled on Lia Grace as our "this is it, unless we stumble across something we love more before she shows up" name. It's funny; my mom has been watching my daughter for us a lot lately as we prepare to move, and my daughter has been (independently) telling her that the baby's name is Lia/Leah. It wasn't even on the list, but then out of nowhere last week DH asked me about that very name. I'm positive neither of them got the idea from the other, just sheer coincidence.

cbhemi1218 · November 2016

@Bluebird2318 i really like the name lia. grace goes good with it. we will be using the name lia for our baby girls nickname. i believe we have officially decided on aliyah for her name.

motherofdragons-2 · November 2016

DH and I have a laundry list of names but we aren't deciding until the baby arrives and we get a grasp of their personality. We didn't agree on DS's name until he was born either cause we are super indecisive hahaha. I place great importance on the meaning, history, and overall vibe of the name. Our girl names are Gwendolyn, Lucia, Lilah, Samantha, and Medli, with the middle name Rose-Marie. If its a surprise boy, it would be Quintin Mitchell- Quintin is Latin for "fifth son" which we like because my hubby has three boys from a previous marriage and our shared son plus the new one, making five sons! Tough choices!!

aggiejenn37 · November 2016

DD is Emilia Ann and the current front runner for DD 2 is Blythe. However, we are having trouble finding a middle name that we love with Blythe. I feel like it needs to be 3 syllables. Any suggestions from you lovely ladies?!

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

@aggiejenn37 Blythe:

Adeline
Ophelia
Amanda
Elizabeth
Sabrina
Isabelle
Arielle
Elodie
Adelaide
Naomi
Sophia
Savannah
Olivia
