@rcultrona I'm not a huge fan of it, but it certainly isn't an awful name. This is YOUR baby and if you love the name, then go for it!
I realized I never participated in this thread early on, whoopsies. Our little man will be Jason Alan. Jason, after DH's best friend that passed away 4 years ago in a horrific work accident. Alan is DH's middle name and FIL's first name.
echo-charlietango it would be pronounced avon-lee (but with a softer "o" that Avon Lady). Anyway, it hit the cutting room floor yesterday. I don't know why this time around is so, so hard! I feel like we are at the point of just spitballing...
Alright ladies im torn! I love the name Kai... but for a little girl it seems masculine... so i thought Kailynn would be really pretty! Lynn was my great grandfathers name, i was thinking maybe Kailynn Leanne (Lee was my grandmothers name and annette is my mothers middle name) or i was toying with Kailee Lynette... i love both names and Hubby is no help! He says whatever you want babe!
@rcultrona That’s where we’re at too. Last time we had our name picked before I even got pregnant. We are on the struggle bus this time. Currently I’ve been mulling over Hannah but I’m not sure if I love it or I just want to pick a name already.
@winterplumeria Ahhh I wish my dh would say “Whatever you want babe!” I would’ve picked ages ago.
@binxybaby When I think "Cooper Jack" my mind changes it to Colby Jack. Probably not an issue though. I think it's a solid okay.
I liked it a lot when some friends named their baby Cooper (they had a matching C name theme), but then I started to dislike it when I learned that some people choose names based on nicknames and just wanted a "Coop."

@binxybaby no to DHs choice of Danger, definitely nms at all. I agree with you, Gavin Michael! Nothing wrong with Cooper Jack, I'm just personally not a fan of those two names together.

@echo-charlietango we had a guy that used to work with us whose name was Colby and middle name started with a J, I never asked if the J was for Jack, but people in the office definitely called him Colby Jack.
@binxybaby I like both Cooper and Jack, I’m not sure I would pair the two, but i don’t think it’s bad either.
@snugglyduckling25 Haha! I once knew a Colby also, and I simply called him “Jack Cheese

What about Cooper Gavin? I agree with pp on associations with Colby Jack. And I think you would also get CJ as a nn — not sure if that's a plus or a minus for you, but I would expect it.
@binxybaby My thoughts are the exact same as @CecilB93. I like Cooper and Jack, I'm not nuts about them together and I would veto Danger.
We had decided on Sloane Ivy, but last week this thought came over me that she is an Emily. It was this weird epiphany, which I know sounds silly. My sister's name is Emily so it would be nice to honor her. Her name would be Emily Sloane, but we would still call her Sloane so there's no confusion with my sister. We haven't told her yet and I'm pretty sure she's going to bawl lol.
After all the times I told myself we were set on Charlotte I woke up today and said never mind. It just doesn't fit. I have yet to use it while talking to her (whereas with my other 2 I had no issues using their names before birth). I'm leaning more towards Everly.
@westcoastfoodie DH and I had our oldest 2 kids' names picked out before we were even married. For our last son, we took a while, but suddenly I just thought of Micah Levi, and in my heart I knew that's who he was. I had to give DH a little time to agree, but that is what we named him. If you feel she is Emily, go for it!
This time we are having a harder time agreeing on a name for a 3rd boy! I think I may have finally had my aha moment a little bit ago, though! We'll see if DH agrees!
@MDKC14 Seriously? That is crazy to me that a Cooper Danger exists in the world already...
Husband's new idea is Jack Rage Cage...after Tenacious D. I have a feeling giving our child a semi-normal name is not going to happen.
Yep! He was in a church service of mine before he aged up to a different room. He was always climbing stuff, finding a way into our cabinets and on the counters, etc. As the fourth son, they named him well. Lol

As nerve-wracking as this is to ask, what are your thoughts?
