Re: Favorite Names
Edit bc my phone doesn't like to spell the word Ryder.
We toyed with naming a little girl Liberty (still my top choice), and toyed with Belle as a middle name...but those can't happen on the same kid.

@KissMeImScottish i work in mental health and associate a lot of names with clients. And when he suggests a name immediately i think of the actor or athlete called that so i veto lots based on who i think of them as a person lol

I definitely associate names with people that I don't like, or kids who are poorly behaved! It has ruined a lot of names for me.
@KissmeImScottish I'm the same with girl names. I only really love one, and I used it on DD! I could name a hockey team full of boys though. We won't bother talking about names until the second tri, when we'll also know what we're having, but I have a short list on my phone. My DH's list is ridiculously long, so I'd rather only have to deal with narrowing down the list for one sex!
since we found out it’s a girl, we’ve actually settled on a name! This little girl will be Amelia Grace 💕
We are also thinking grace for a middle name since DD’s MN is Noelle.

@KissMeImScottish That’s exactly how I feel too. I already feel so much more connected to her. And we talk about her by name to DD, which I think will help her understand what’s going on when the baby gets here.
We (me) have really started to like the name Jacob.
I have always loved Amelia. I was super into Amelia Earhart growing up. I have been turned off by the popularity, but I'll have to re-examine it and see how truly popular it is.
For a girl, we want to do a middle name ending in -elle (DD1's middle name is Noelle & DD2's is Michelle). I think we have decided on Gabrielle for the middle name if baby 3 is a girl, but my H likes to change his mind (a lot), so can't be 100% sure.
Right now, we have a William Alexander, a Harper Grace, and a Colton Miles. Though my kids will certainly not always be a unit, I can’t help but feel like I kind of want the names to go together a little bit? It’s why I’m struggling with some of the classic names I might otherwise gravitate towards. I love Charlotte, but I feel like it doesn’t flow with my other kids’ names. I feel like Emory does. We’re talking about Emory Quinn if it’s a girl right now, and Jamison Bryce if it’s a boy, but I have such a hard time commiting and I’m frustrated with my husband because he is pressuring me to commit before Christmas and it’s starting to annoy me.

I really like Scout, Ryan, Tatum and Piper (maybe not so gender neutral on Piper) but hubs doesn't "love" any of those.
Edited
I'd love to do a gender-neutral name, but none jumped for us! Reagan was one I liked, Glenn was another, Stevie would be adorable.
@Dcwtada I’m sorry your H doesn’t like the name! I wish both of you could use the name too!
@srscott3 I like your insight about classic vs. trendy. I agree!
I think we are going to try to pick our Top 3 names and then decide when baby is born. Maybe her look and personality will inspire us to choose a particular name.
