Names?

doodleoodle · March 2017

Thanks! @krex

onaed · March 2017

@doodleoodle I like Gemma! Confession - I just added it to my running name list IF I go for a 3rd lol.

mombod · March 2017

@doodleoodle my nieces name is Jemma. I think its beautiful. Unique but not weird. Very popular in England.

doodleoodle · March 2017

@onaed you're welcome

when naming DD we never took into consideration how difficult it would be to come up with sibling names. We are definitely taking that into consideration this time around. So not only are we deciding between Chloe and Gemma, but also what we would name a third baby if we went with either name.

MotherofDragons · March 2017

@doodleoodle I love Gemma so much. Sadly I couldn't get my husband on board.

onaed · March 2017

That makes total sense!!

My hubby just vetoed Jasper, booooo.

I'm really liking the name Emerie right now but my bestie's daughter is Emerson. Too close?
my uncle is Emory so there's a family connection as well

You could always ask her how she feels about you using it?

Oh I definitely will. She might be too polite to tell me how she really feels though.

We have had a hard time deciding on a girl name. We finally agreed on Mackenzie/McKenzie. It wasn't my favorite at first, but it's growing on me! Her middle name will be Faye after my grandmother. I have always loved her middle name!

The only thing we haven't decided on is spelling. I like Mackenzie and DH likes McKenzie. Thoughts?

awoodruff27 · March 2017

@Ahutch428 I like Mackenzie. McKenzie it too McDonalds like for me.

+1

Ahutch428 · March 2017

@awoodruff27 didn't even think of that! I am. Of a fan of the two capital letters. It looks like a last name to me!

michaela0704 · March 2017

@tmrussell for a lot of my guy friends that are thirds... I've seen Tripp, Trey... basically nick names that signify 'third'... I actually think there are more but they are escaping me right now.

@onaed I LOVE the name Jasper.

DH and I are stuck between two names. Chloe Elizabeth or Gemma Rae. DD is Penelope and we initially wanted to stick with Greek names, but then he mentioned Gemma and I fell in love with it. My only concerns with Gemma are: FIL is nicknamed Jim (although I asked the name board and none of them thought that was a big deal so I'm not too concerned about it anymore) and the possibility of people thinking her name is Emma and having to correct people her whole life. Thoughts?

We picked Chloe Elizabeth! So of course I love that one! I think we have talked about this before haha

Oh my gosh... I think you're right and I think I subconsciously stole the middle name Elizabeth from you. Lol

danij0 · March 2017

DH won't really discuss names with me. He just likes to joke (I hope) about naming him after himself which is not going to happen. We've decide to wait until he is here to make the final decision but I'd still like to have a short list to go from. Anyone else having this issue?

I have to force dh to talk names with me. I'm the kind of person that has a list already picked out before even conceiving and I understood when he didn't want to talk before I got pregnant, but I was surprised I had to force him to talk about it after when there was a real person to name. Lol luckily we had a first name, but we had to agree on a middle. The only good thing about this is I got what I wanted because I cared a heck of a lot more. We didn't have this problem with dd because I had her name picked out and he liked it. Also I wanted to use his moms name as her middle so he was obviously happy about that.
I guess it's something I just don't understand because names are HUGE to me and his whole family is like, eh, to naming anything.

Mtnmommy · March 2017

I'd love to name this girl Amelia Elise. For a nickname, we'd call her Mimi. DD likes the name Sophia. I'd be ok with Sophia, but H can't get on board with that.

swanbrooner · March 2017

@danijo DH has no real interest in deciding until she's born. I had a list of suggestions we have whiddled down to three or four, but that's about it. I'd love to have a name picked out, but he wants to wait until we meet her.

Sooo, she is just nicknamed Rattlesnake for now.

wife-and-mommy · March 2017

We are team green and probably won't solidify our girl name until the baby is born.
Right now I like Ella Grace. Or Evalynn May. I'm due June 2 so the baby has a decent chance of being born in May.

kensbby · March 2017

My little girl is going to be Ruby Jean! Ruby is for my late great grandma, and Jean after my grandma's middle name. If we were keeping her, this would be settled but the adoptive parents might change the middle name.

For future kids we agreed on Fiona for a girl's first name but no middle He's so frustrating because his family has so many pretty names and he won't use any! Wanda, Wendy, Winona, Irene...so many. Can't settle on anything for a boy. I really like Jonah and Noah but he's kind of against biblical names and likes Leon (blech) and Finn (which is basically just the male version of Fiona so unless we have twins it's out) Our name preferences are very different. I love family names and normal spellings and he likes sort of out there stuff. Hopefully we have a long time until we have to have that fight again though haha

LAMCH1980 · March 2017

I have no clue what we'll name this child. I can't tell if I'm being superstitious or what, but nothing sounds right to me. DH wants Jacob, but I have an association with someone and that name and they weren't a nice person. It's also almost the same as ds, Jack.
Jack and Jake, no thank you.

Are you considering adoption for your little one? I'm an adoptee and adoptive mama myself and I admin an amazing FB group if you want to meet other moms who've placed. Message me!!! So excited to meet you!

meg2704 · March 2017

We had been considering naming lady baby Katherine and calling her Katie, but my dog is named Sadie and I think it's confusing. Sooooo back to Caroline! Which I also love, I just hope the song Sweet Caroline isn't playing in every bar when she goes to college. That's my only turn off to the name.

I LOVE Ella! I'm a little biased though.

momma2char · March 2017

After changing our minds about 5 times, we've finally settled on Veda Brynn for this little girl. Our family absolutely hates it because they can't get "darth vadar" out of their heads when they say Veda. I'm fully aware that Veda sounds like Vadar but we love the name too much to let the similarity of sounds bother us. The in-laws will eventually get over it

Stankonia2014 · March 2017

@momma2char, Veda is so beautiful!

shmarpler · March 2017

@momma2char, I love Veda Brynn!

I really wanted to name this baby Verity, but DH didn't like it. Right now either he or I have nixed every name we've come across, except Willa. I'm not sure how that is the only name neither of hate. My mom suggested Brickley Bell, and my aunt likes Brinkley Marie, but DD's name ends with ley, so I wanted something totally different this time.

CurlyMommy416 · March 2017

My son keeps saying he's going to call the baby Taco. At this point it might have to be it's actual name because DH is being unwavering in his indecisiveness.

mrt · March 2017

Taco is a very strong name

kcrocetto27 · March 2017

Alright, we are officially committing to: Leonardo Vincent Crocetto. He will go by Leo, and I'm adding a bunch of fun lion stuff to the registry!
Oh, and we created an email account and started sending him a few emails. We are going to ask our family and friends to do the same after the shower.

silliegirlie143 · March 2017

We have first names names decided finally!
Boy: Dominic
Girl: Angelina

Now to solidify our middle names

kcrocetto27 · March 2017

@momma2char I love Veda! Is it a My Girl reference?

Thanks! I remember the little girl from My Girl being named that and I think that's where I got it from (although they spell it Vada), but I love its meaning

danij0 · March 2017

@kcrocetto27 Love your choice! Leonardo/Leo is on my short list. I have also seen adorable lion crochet outfits for newborn photo sessions!

LMMama · March 2017

@kcrocetto27 I love Leo! However it's my maternal grandfather's name, his son's name and his son's name. So it's kind of overdone in my family. I think it will transition well from really cute for a kid to strong for a man though.

kcrocetto27 · March 2017

So, funny thing, my MIL told her niece that we are naming our baby Leo (Leonardo) and this niece had done a tree on ancestry.com a while back, turns out- Leonardo was my husband's great great grandfather's name! Straight from Italy. Now we can say it's a family name

Xath · March 2017

@momma2char If you have a son, name him Luke just to continue to frustrate folks.

@CurlyMommy416 Do you watch The League? (I wanted to post a Taco meme here, but I couldn't find one that was remotely PG).

kcrocetto27 · March 2017

@danijo yes! I love all the lion stuff!
