Re: The Name Thread
DH and I have pretty different tastes. He's big on the name having some kind of significance/meaning and doesn't care so much what it sounds like, whereas I think it's okay to pick a name just because you like it.
River, Jett, and Asher are our top boy names.
Girl names have been hard for me.. you wouldn't think so, since I have 2 boys. Hallie is the top contender right now.

Scottie for a girl
Henry for a boy
but these could change! Girl middle name will be Lyn after my mom and sister but we are stuck on a boy middle name. I like middle names to mean something and Benton’s middle name is James, which is the same as his dad’s middle name
@saltedcaramel518 I like Jett and Hallie!!
I'm currently liking Margo and Hazel, though we will see if either of those stick. I have a list on my phone, but don't feel enthusiastic about many of them so far. We will probably stay in the brainstorming phase for a while and more than likely won't choose a final final name until she is born (last time we narrowed it down to two, but did have a lean towards one).
We do tentatively have a middle name picked out - our daughter has a boy middle name (Stanley) to honor a family member and we like the idea of sticking with that trend with this one too, so are thinking Wallace for the middle name to honor a different family member.
Sebastian is a cute name. For a nickname you can always go with “Baz”.
@saltedcaramel518 Jett and Hallie are way cute choices! Boy names are way easier if you ask me.
@littlemarshmallow Love both Scottie and Henry. Have you seen the show Suits? What about dad's first name or grandpa's middle name for boy 2's middle name?
@maggiemadeit I too have a list in my phone. @stress_engine It's been a favorite game for years to discuss baby names with my sisters. We have full conversations about babies that aren't even on the radar yet.
@knottie061b9304e9ab93d9 Penny would have been way cute. We know an adorable little Penelope. Do you like Zeb for a nickname?
@lizzie-weber One of my close friends is Suzanne and goes by Suzie. She's got a heart of gold. The kid of person that brightens every room and makes you feel like you matter. Chloe is a great way to nod to both!
@andiiidreaaa such a timeless name! I love June for the mn especially.
@curlyandpreggo sibsets are real! That said, I love a good sibset, and I ended up totally mismatched! Margot and Hazel are both beautiful choices.
@sbaby2023 do you have any friends you would honor with the mn?
@jenEP Georgia Louise!
With baby 3, we will have Eli, Zig and Vic.
We decided on Victor for baby 3 just because we like it. My thoughts were that it's a strong male name, not overly popular but still "normal". Middle name is Richard after my husband's brother. I cracked up when my husband joked "VicRick". Then I cracked up again when my mom said the same thing unprompted.
I didn't know anybody with the my first-born's name when I picked it, and now it's all over the place. My second was a family name that's well out of commission. I'd say he's probably the only one in the last 50 years with the name, except I was creepin on fb and I think a third cousin somewhere on my husband's side with the same last name used the first name too - Crazy! This time it's right in between. It feels right.
Baby 1 was going to be Elijah, McKenna Lucille or Audrey Camille (couldn't decide the girl name and didn't have to. We call him Eli and almost decided to just write Eli on the official papers)
idk if this needs a *TW* but if it does, here it is: *TW* I had a m/c after baby 1, and he would have been Owen. Eli and Owen was my original sibset. I still love his name.
Baby 2 was going to be Zig or Reagan Pearl
Baby 3 was going to be Victor, Annelise or Ana Leigh (again, couldn't decide the girl name and now don't have to. I wonder if he'll go by Vic.)
I'm 99% sure I'm done after 3, but if we could have another boy I'm loving Oscar!
Our first is Georgina Jagger - but she goes by Gigi. Our second is Frankie Dino. We like cool, unique names, but easy to pronounce! If it was a boy, we were going to call him Sonny, but I got my gal 🩷
