@CherryBananas - LOVE, LOVE Clark and Graham!!!! Those are probably in my Top 5 for boys, so I'm guessing MH vetoed them (since they aren't in the running for any of our children).
@mrsrep123 I know we tossed around a bunch of suggestions months ago, but I cant remember what so... Connell, Conan, Cohen ( I love this one), Caspian, Cade, Cal, Case, Cruz
@erinh2005 I love the name Emilia! I personally wouldn't let the meaning deter me from it, though I'll admit the meaning is kind of funny as the second child of the same sex My name doesn't have a cool meaning (random inanimate object rather than a personality trait) and it never bothered me. It also sounds beautiful with your other daughter's name. I would go for it!
@mrsrep123 How about Corbin, Connor, or Colin? Like @nda_roxybabe I also like Cohen--someone I know has a son with this name and I had never heard it before, but I think it's pretty cool.
@mrsrep123 DH was really stuck on C names for a while - we also had Colin, Carter, and Caleb on our list at one point.
@emilyalso thank you! Clark is my favourite I think, but I'll be happy with any of the three. Funny thing is - I had Graham on our original list and DH removed it. When we went to revisit the name discussion he was looking at a list online and said "What about Graham? That one's good!". I didn't remind him he originally didn't like it.
@mrsrep123 They are a bit off the beaten path but my brother is named Cabin and it actually was because they misheard the name Cavin, prounounced the same but with a v. Cavin is the real boy on the gummy bears. Good luck. Naming is hard. We are still going round in circles trying to pick one.
@mrsrep123 I have a friend named Chapen (Pronounced chay-pen). Just throwing it in there because I have never met another! I do also like Corbin a lot...I met a Carlin once too.
We've settled on Connor, Graham, or Clark. Middle name will likely be either David, Edward, or Owen. Our last name starts with a T so none of those would end up with weird initials.
@CherryBananas: I now have a Connor and a Graham myself so I adore your short list!
@erinh2005 how funny! My DD's name is Emilia and DW's middle name is Luna. Obviously I love your name choice. I've looked up meanings for Emilia before and I think it depends on if the origin name is "Emily" or "Amelia" - meanings I've seen: eager, laborious, rival, industrious
ETA: "Emil" is another root name, which means emulate. DD full name is Emilia Michaelle, which means to emulate like G-d ("Michael" means like G-d)
@mrsrep123 any chance that's what he wants so he's just saying no to everything?!
@sweaterboots That's what he initially wanted. I'm not into juniors but didn't shoot it down. He eventually came to realize he wanted this boy to "have his own identity" and that's when we started brainstorming names.
@mrsrep123 ugh sorry! Trying to think of other c and r names....Chase, Charlie, Chandler, Cori...Rhett, Rylan, Reese, Ralph...yeah I don't know haha sorry some may be a little odd but that's what came to mind at the moment!
Last bight H and I were sitting in the nursery, well I was and then made him join me, and I was thinking of what else we needed decor wise. So, of course I was on etsy and saw the wooden names covered in fabric or paper and was like I wish we were settled on one of the names so we could make this...he said to use our middle name that's settled and I snapped lol I was like your mom is already putting that on the quilt she's making then you want to put it here, we might as well just use that as the first and not have another name! Oops...well then he said no (sort of laughed at me) and said we can go with Oliver, you really like that name and I like both and am okay with that. Is this a win? lol I feel bad but it's the name I've felt belongs to this little guy since forever...

@BabyMC517 it's a total agreement win. Momma knows best and if DH likes both take it! I also love the name Oliver. So happy for you. Now order the letters for his name and be done so it's one less thing to worry about and be happy about. Can start calling your bump Oliver
