Name chatter here! Names you love, your SO loves, one of you hates, names you can't convince each other about... bring 'em all!

Discuss freely, but remember no one is guaranteed to like your name idea; try not to be offended by honesty.

    I like Leighton Silver for a girl but my husband HATES it. No idea on boy names yet. My husband is a Jr but I really don’t want baby to take his name of it is a boy.

    @database6 Jrs. are a hot topic in our families. On both sides of the family we have juniors, but also 1 who gave their son the same first initial/middle name, but with a unique first name. Also another who gave a completely different first name but kept the middle name. 

    For example, John Michael & son Jared Michael. And a Michael Lee with son David Lee.

    We're set on Lenore for a girl. But not even close for a boy name. We like scout, Edgar, Sirius, and Carlisle. 
    Lenore and Edgar are for Poe of course lol

    @kristinamarie10 Annabel Lee (after the poem) was on our short list in my previous pregnancies and still a contender for this one but I worry it’s a little morbid.

    Annabelle Lee was our girls name for our last baby!  Lee is a family name, and I didn't know about the poem until after we selected it, but I still think its beautiful. The poem just makes it more interesting. 

    Edited because I hit enter too soon, apparently.

    If it’s a boy he’ll be Cody Lee. Cody after my husbands sibling who died at birth and Lee is a family name on his side. Honestly not my favorite name in the world but it means so much to him I couldn’t say no! 
    If it’s a girl she’ll be Camila Anne. We’ve had this name picked out for awhile. Her initials would be CAT so I’m sensing lots of nicknames if I’m having a girl!

    Grace is a big contender for us since it was our runner-up for our daughter. I'm sure we'll add a few others to the mix as we like to go into delivery with 2-3 options and meet our baby to decide.
    I am stumped on boy names. The only one I can think of that I like is Brook, but H doesn't like it because it's too girly.

    I really like the name Kaia Alexandra for a girl (Kaia = "to rejoice" in Latin, "the sea" in Hawaiian/Japanese; Alexandra= long form of my mother's name, Sandra) and the name Malachi Arthur (Malachi= "messenger" in Hebrew; Arthur= my great uncle's first name, my brother's middle name) for a boy.  I have a few others picked out, but these are my top combos. I have currently nicknamed the baby Kai, because it fits either way.
    @deecherise my stepbrother's daughter is Kai and they always call her "Baby Kai." It's so cute!

    So far the only thing we have talked about is Dell/Delle and some form of the name Fredrick and some for of Nicole. H said we can talk more when I'm further along but all I can think about is app things baby! And we are so weird about names. We won't use a first name is we know someone with the name or if it's been on the top 1000 names on the social security website in the past 30 years. And all of our kids have two middle names because apparently we hate ourselves.

    @oklahomak My husband’s middle name is Leland and he goes by it. I think it’s a great name because it’s unusual but easy to pronounce!  

    For a boy, he’ll be named after dad and grandpas and we’ll call him Leo.

    For a girl, we’re fairly set on Charlotte, which is a family name on my side.

    Both of our boys have C names (and so does my husband) so he insists on another C name, lol.

    Our boy name from last time that we didn’t use was Ulysses (nn Lee) so that’s at the top of our list again.

    For girl, we’d like to avoid names that end in “a” (DD’s does and so do all of her girl cousins) so I’m leaning towards Eleanor (nn Lenny or Elli) but we also really like Zelda

    @kmb7964 Sullivan and Otto were both top contenders for DS! He ended up Theodore (nn Theo). I still love Sullivan nn Sully. I also like Sebastian, Beau, and Knox. For girls my top 3 are Georgina (nn Georgie), Josephine (jojo), and violet (after my grandmother)

    So I’ve always said if I have a daughter I want to name her after myself (because dads can do it so why not mamas?!) Then I thought maybe an extension of my name. 

    My first name is Lena so now thinking about Evelena for the full name.

    Am I crazy???

    Husband is Irish and have a ton of cute Irish boy names on our list!

    @mamakelly18 I think Evelena or Evalena is cute as hell

    @jmesue1030 Josephine is our girl name! Planning on Josie or Josey for the nickname. And we just settled on Meredith for the middle name. 💗

    @mamakelly18 I don't think you're crazy. A -lena name (Magdalena) was on our list before we settled on Josephine. I'm a big fan of -ene/-ine and -ina/-ena names though! My girls are Evangeline and Wilhelmina.

    Nora is our girl name (we have a natalie currently ☺️) and for a boy, not too sure. We like Thomas. Long way to go to think about it since we won’t find out until birth!

    @mamakelly18   Lena is one of my top girl picks so I love your name :) 

    ETA: I also don't think it's weird that you want to name her after your self.  It's my biggest regret that I didn't give my daughter my middle name. I wanted to name her after me in some way and my father had given me a middle name idea and I loved the idea that he picked out part of her name, but always was going back to my middle name- I wish I had just done it.   So go with your gut on this one!!

    Our boy name is Joshua Michael.

    We aren't 100% decided on a girl name. We're in agreement that we want to call her Alex. I want to incorporate my late grandma's name. She was named Patricia Joan, but swore up and down her middle name was pronounced "Joanne". Alexandra Patricia seems like a cruelly long name, and doesn't really flow. And the middle name confusion makes me reluctant to use it. DH had a "Granny Jo", so I'm somewhat leaning towards Alexandra Jo to honor both grandmas. I've also considered Alex Patricia, but wonder if it's odd to not have Alex be short for another name.
