Now that I know we’re having a boy, what does everyone think of George? My grandpa passed away in 2014, and his name was George William. We already have 3 Bills in the family, which is why I’m leaning toward George.
@ecwk I'm biased because I have one but I love Leo, it's my favorite boy name. Naming DS2 was hard because DS1 is Leo and it's the most perfect name for him nothing felt like it could live up to that name.

I like George. I have two friends with little George’s.
@ecwk my favorites are Leo, Conor, Gavin, and Liam
Biased for Conor, and Liam because it’s on my list. I don’t like Cillian but it’s because I know an unfortunate Cillian. Malachy is iffy too (I say it like Malach-eye even though that’s not how you said it would be said). But Leo and Gavin are both super cute too!

@ecwk love Leo! We are 90% positive this one will be Leo James, so I may be biased!
Also, totally pictures Rachel as well for Lola. It’s a fine name, I just have bad name association! Friends is what I always put on a Netflix when we don’t have time for a full hour long show or I just want something in the background. We just watch all the way through, then repeat!
@ecwk I was really upset when DH didn't like Gavin after I was completely sold on it. So Gavin would be my pick. Leo is also super cute especially because we have August littles.
George is a great name. Solid, traditional, English - all my style.
Leo is a great name but I had a dog named Leo so that makes it a no for me, personally. Great for someone else, however. Liam used to be one of my favorites but it got super popular so now I probably wouldn't use it. Gavin and Conor are my other preferences in that list. I'm not sure I know how to pronounce Cian. Cillian makes me think immediately of Cillian Murphy, which is certainly not a bad thing (even though he tends to play creepy characters).
Me: 40 DH: 43 Married 5/30/15 TTC #1 June 2015 BFP #1 9/28/15, EDD 6/10/16. DS born 5/23/16! TTC #2 May 2017 BFP #2 m/c 11/18/17 5w5d BFP #3 12/17/17 EDD 8/25/18. It's a boy!
Opinions on Heath? Dh and I have such a hard time with boy names. We don't use names that can be nicknamed or shortened, I'd really prefer not in the top 100, but at this point of disagreeing it's not that big of a deal, but we also like "established" names. Heath is on the table and I'm trying to decide how much I like it
Obvs. I even sing it in my head the same awkward way she does on stage. I think I watch too much Friends but I blame Netflix for adding it, it's at my fingertips! So easy.
Lurking but this is why I can't use the name Joshua. The way she says it just sticks with me!
Also, I’d never think to pronounce Cillian with a hard “C.” Would you consider just using a K?
Nope! Cillian is the Irish way. No K in the Irish alphabet.
And plus, he may not be a big name actor, but a lot of people know who Cillian Murphy is, so it’s not a far out name. And that’s also why I like it. That said, Saoirse Ronan is a big name, and I can never remember how to pronounce it, no matter how many times I hear it. All that to say.... I hope you have a boy

We haven't talked names much since making our list, but the name I keep coming back to is Felix. I think I like Felix Jude. Not ready to fully commit yet, but it keeps popping into my head.
