@JNCPro3130 I like the name, but just thought I'd mention that when seeing Jackson Nicholas I immediately think it's like a flipped around Jack Nicholson... but to be fair he probably won't be famous much longer anyway so it's probably not a big deal. I don't think the cousins really matter if you've never even met the kids, especially since they're relatively common names.

@thunderberry, Do you think it's a big deal since he wouldn't be going by his first and middle name? It would be Jackson Lastname. UGH... I'm not a very big Jack Nicholson fan either. He annoys me!
hahaha @thunderberry i also thought of Jack Nicholson, but didn't want to "ruin" the name for @JNCPro3130. That being said, love the name combo, even if people think of Jack Nicholson, he's not famous enough lately that people wouldn't be able to get the association out of their head. And yes, very rarely do you see first and middle name together anyway. I say, go for it!
@kpc914@JNCPro3130 haha okay now I feel bad for being a ruiner. It's totally true you rarely refer to people by their middle names, so really it's not that big a deal at all. And especially it's rare to see it written just the first and middle and it will probably be a lot less obvious when said out loud, and when written down with a last name after it. I hope I didn't ruin it forever because it really is a pretty minor association!!
Must have missed this, I have a friend and her first son is Harrison and her second is Lincoln. They want a ton of kids and they already know if they have another boy it's Hamilton! People are probably going to comment no matter what. DH's grandma still can't spell DS's name... Gideon. She always writes it as Gidian on cards and stuff. We have girls names narrowed down to Iris and Phoebe (never budged on them) and a boys name choice is Reuben. I just saw in the AS that @babydreams88 has that as her LO's name, so if we both end up with it I hope there's no hard feelings!! We won't find out until Jan 4 though.
Thoughts on the name Brynn? My only hesitation is I also wanted to use a one syllable middle name "Joyce" or possibly "Jade" so her name would be Brynn Joyce or Brynn Jade with a two syllable last name. I much prefer a longer middle name with a one syllable first name, but maybe it doesn't matter or shouldn't matter. Middle name would be after my aunt (Joyce) or her favorite name for a baby girl (Jade). She never had children of her own and recently lost her husband.
@charlestonchew don't know if this is better or worse but I think of the cat in Sailor Moon.
I feel like I can join the discussion now. We tabled all talk of names until after the AS. Part of the reason I wanted a girl was because we don't agree on boy names.
My top choices are Lee and Kevin, but I'm falling in love with Leo
DH wants a Jr, which I'm against. He spent the better part of the afternoon looking up Jrs that were not the first born son. I'm convinced that a 2nd son can be a Jr, but I still don't want one.
He also would like a son named after a Ninja Turtle/Artist. He is trying to convince me that we can name the baby Leonardo and have him go by Leo, but I'm not in love with Leonardo. Leo is so simple and powerful, can't we just go with that?

So we had some long talks and I have decided on Leonardo. DS1 is Erik, which honors my Scandinavian heritage, so it is only fair that this child have an Italian name since DH is largely Italian. Leonardo means "brave as a lion" and I like that. Really in addition to family, this child will be named after Leonardo da Vinci, and that makes me happy.
My parents are unhappy because they are sure it is after the turtle. At this point it really isn't but I'm not sure we'll ever convince them of that.

No, that is his internet nickname so I can talk about him without revealing personal info. I think the next internet nickname will be Vili because I like that Norse god and DH doesn't do online forms. I like the name Viking, but not so much IRL.

I am seriously jealous of all of you who are on your way to finding or have found your baby names. Being this is DD2 i either have no idea where to start or have no motivation. This poor child lol. But if any of you have suggestion to compliment DD1 Emmalyn Grace ....haha
@bwow615 I love Brynn. I really liked and wanted to use it until my iPhone autocorrected to Bryan which is my (now) BIL's name and we don't see eye-to-eye.
@heelsidehero we aren't set on it yet, I do like it but I don't know how I feel about it being paired with the mn Joyce, we decided that Joyce is the mn. So we both agreed to give it a bit more time and thought and maybe we will come back to it. Too bad for the auto-correct!
We love the name Emmett for our little boy. SO wants to spell it like Emmitt Smith, the ex football player but I like it better with 2 e's. We also love the movie Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas!
I think we’ve settled on Hanna. The middle name will be Sigrid (or Sigried, I have to confirm the spelling of dh’s Omi’s name). It was easier than I thought, he wasn’t a fan of Gretchen or Magdalena, and as much as I liked Quinn for a girl when I thought ds was going to be a girl, I don’t love it as much now.
My AS is tomorrow and I've been thinking of names. If it's a boy we have his name set. If it's a girl her name will be Clara but we're stuck for a middle name. I like Elizabeth but a close friend just had a baby and her daughter's middle name is Elizabeth. Any suggestions?
@JNCPro3130 I love Clara! I think Elizabeth is a good name, and sharing middle names between family and close friends isn’t weird to me... but other ideas— Violet, Grace, Jane, Marie, Madeline, Irene, Catherine, May, Dorothy
@JNCPro3130 I like the mn Elizabeth and I wouldn't worry about it recently being used by a friend. It's a fairly common middle name. My grandmother's man was Elizabeth which she passed on to my aunt as her middle name, that aunt's 2 daughter's mns are Elizabeth, her granddaughter's MN is Elizabeth and my mn is Elizabeth. Lots of us with the mn Elizabeth in our family. But if you don't go that route I think Clara Catherine sounds beautiful too!

@MissusTexas we've always like Asher, I'm going to run it by my husband again , I'm thinking I like it for a middle name!
We have a short list of a few, and recently added Porter to think about.
Idk about you all but I’m starting to think knottie69361884819-8472829 is a cute name for our baby girl?? Thoughts?
Btw the random folks popping in and out are bugging me lately, if you can’t tell.
Requesting thoughts on the pronunciation of Madeline. Would this be pronounced Mad-eh-lyn? Or Mad-eh-line?
But if any of you have suggestion to compliment DD1 Emmalyn Grace ....haha
