Despite DH's recent spate of name suggestions, I think we've 99% decided this baby's name will be Solomon. Our other two top names were Samuel and William. I love the meaning and story behind the name Samuel, but it just doesn't feel right. We're going to keep William as our #2 option in case he arrives and just doesn't look like a Solomon to us. Now we just need to decide...Solomon Michael, after my dad, or Solomon Tyler, after DH.
I loooooove Solomon. Before deciding on ilyas, i wanted to name my son Sulayman..which is arab version of Solomon.
Well, this is actually awkward. There's a really despicable person in my past, maybe the only person I've ever hated, whose LN is Sulaeman. I had never made the connection. I need to seriously consider if this is going to ruin the name Solomon for me. I'm really sad now.
@missykhamvongsa I love Emma Rose! I would use Emma for a girl, but my best friend told me that was her girl name like 2 years ago... so I can't take that from her but I do love it!
I'm thinking Natalie Reese for a girl. My name was going to be Natalie Elizabeth and I've always used Natalie as my fake name. So when DH and I started talking about names a couple of years ago, I told him I've always thought about naming my little girl Natalie and he loved it. So I think Natalie Reese it is if she's a girl. If it's a boy I think we're doing Roman William. But I'm still open to other options if I love something more.
@LosAngelesMama what if your friend changes her mind and decides to go with something different when she has a girl?! I would be clenching my teeth like hey girl remember how much you like emma?? And remember how i didn't name my child Emma? Lol
Love Remi for a girl. So cute. Wish we could use it but with half our family being from Poland, Remi is a nickname for a boy, basically the equivalent of the name Ray/Raymond le sigh.
Trying to come up with names for twins is hard. Especially not knowing the sex. At this point I feel like we won't have names picked out until we have them.
Added stress because I absolutely LOVE DD's name and no other names I think of are names that I love. Names are hard.
DD is Giselle Elizabeth. I think I nailed it. I'm so worried I won't love their names as much as I love hers.
@missykhamvongsa thank you! I wanted Elodie for my daughter so bad but he hated it luckily he's come around! And aw really?! My husband and i like Axel..my mom not so much lol
my my daughter is Alexis(Lexi) and I like that they kind of go together
I haven't been non this thread for a while, but I think we've come to an agreement on a name for our boy: Otto Jacob! I wasn't a fan of DH's Jr. idea Jacob is DH's twin, Otto we just like. Our daughter is Charlotte Grace.
I was so stressed about boy names (I have a never ending list of girls' lol), but it wasn't too bad!

I agree that twins make it super difficult. I want names that go well together but aren't too matchy. I also think it's more difficult to name them when you already have a kid and want them to go together.
I printed the top 1000 girl names and the top 1000 boy names. I highlighted any I liked and made a list of those. Then I let DH nix whatever he hated. So now we have a short list to work with. We still aren't decided, but I don't feel as lost. Hope that helps!
I think we have narrowed it down to Ella Reese or Ella Gray
I love both of those, that's a hard decision! We decided on Lainey Grey if this LO is a girl, I really love the Grey/Gray for a middle name. Thanks to Madison for helping me out with that one because for years it was going to be Grace until my cousin used Grace for her daughter and I don't want to be a dirty name stealer I wish I could but I just can't lol.
@HollyGolightly09 we don't find out until May 2nd but it's so crazy that it's almost April. Only a few more days until they create the December BMB!! Crazy! Anywho, Landon George for a boy, Lainey Grey for a girl. So excited. Hurry up May!!!!

I'm seriously so happy I could help. I'm passing it on if I end up team pink!
@MadisonInspires that would make three babies with your middle name if you and I end up pink! Lol. Possibly, depending on what mamasheridan picks for her LO
I think we have it narrowed down to either Autumn or Ivy.
Neither one really "goes" with our other two girls though. (Lillian & Allison who go by Lilly & Allie) but dh and I have polar opposite choices in names and those are the 2 we can somewhat agree on.

I think Lillie, Allie, and Ivy would be the most adorable combination on the planet!

I'm all good with it. My mom did good, so I might as well share.

@MadisonInspires you should be proud because it's perfect. If I have ever suggested a name in any of my comments that you like you're more than welcome to it lol!!
Re: Anyone thinking names yet?
@holly52 I think Juliette is just so classy, but both are so cute.
