Re: Baby Names Thread
Boy names we are so stuck 🤦🏻♀️ A few we’ve thrown around are Judah, Chase, Landon and possibly Jordan, but we aren’t sold on anything yet.
We have a few favorites for a boy. Ethan was my favorite boy name for so long, but I feel like it's run its course. DH suggested Calvin. We both Arthur because it means "bear" and our last name means "bear farmer," but as DH put it, "So his name will be Bear Bear Farmer?"
If it's a girl, we both like Eleanor but aren't in love with it the way we were with DD's name. I really like Kendra, but DH does not.
Our kids are Elliott, Magnolia (Nola), and Cooper.
If Elliott had been a girl, he would have been Charlotte Elizabeth. If Nola had been a boy, she would have been Lucas James. If Cooper had been a girl, he would have been Savannah Elizabeth. MH is pretty set on this one being Charlotte Elizabeth (nn Charley) if it's a girl. I'm on the fence because I feel like EVERYONE is named Charlotte these days. Other girl names: Quinn, Grace, Bobbie, Madeline, Adeline. The only boy name I like this time is Dylan.
@ashleyp625 I love Sophia! So cute.

we have a Maevy Jean and the twins are Torren James and Teagan Marie. Right now the front runners are Quinn Kelli for girl and Finley Scott (nn Fin) for boy. Our patterns are: All of our first names are Gaelic/Irish and middle names are family names. But I never fully commit until I see the baby!
Parker
Philip
Patrick
Thomas
Alexander/Alex
Logan
Jacob
Nathaniel
(I don't know why I came up with so many P names
Our daughters name is Isabella. We want to find a similar boys name that honors both sides of the family and both sides can pronounce.
Middle name will be Nicholas
Here is a list of male Spanish names on Behind the Name. If you click "more filters," you can select "letters" and "sound and syllables" to help narrow down your search.
I told DH that I’d consider a third if we called him a different name. I personally like “Tre” or “Trip” as a nn for being the third. DH hates both of those. He said that the only one he’d go for is if it was “Pete”… short for “three-peat.” I just cannot
So now I’m hoping for a girl to just avoid the whole thing. It makes me laugh but I can’t subject my child to a lifetime of “My name is Steve but I go by Pete” lol
@ktmaesim For boys names that start with L, what about Logan, Lawrence, or Lucas? Theodore/Teddy is also great! If you like the sound of Theodore, Dorothy is one of the female versions of the name.
@ktmaesim I knew a Theadora who went by Thea. I thought that was a pretty, less common name. Not quite in line with your other girl choices but could be an option if you like Theodore.
If you're looking for another Song of Ice and Fire-inspired name, what about Elia? It means "dawn" and so does Aurora. If you're leaning towards Luna, Selena also means "moon."
combination of two names to make one
For baby boy so far the top three are Oliver, Finn, and Rowan. I really liked Burdette my great grandfather's name but DH doesn't love it and I am not sure if it is out of place.
Also... If anyone is looking for boy names inspired by the color green, look no further. Mint, Lime, Serrano, and GRASS (!!!?!) are all up for grabs. 🤣 They are definitely NOT in the top 100 baby names in the past decade. I will also throw the name Cilantro into the hat.
Dying at that list "fennel hits the best"
@BourbonBiscuits Yes, I think I am in that group and it is wild
