The name thread

[fem]

LadyNymeria I like both! I think I prefer Logan but that's probably a personal bias since I had a challenging student named Ryan. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Now we're discussing Ophelia.

I am just worried that the Lumineers song called Ophelia will make it have a large spike. Do you think that would be a big issue?

I love Ophelia - it makes me think of the song by The Band (which is a great association) and the Last Waltz.

My only concern would be the 'Oh, Feel Ya' joke potential - but lots of awesome names have teasing potential and it's not a reason to write it off!

LadyNymeria I like both! I prefer Ryan though. Do you guys have any middle name ideas?

[hurricanerek]

LadyNymeria I prefer Ryan.

[kerbear]

fem, There's an Ophelia in my J15 group and I think it's just precious. They call her O a lot.

LadyNymeria, I lean towards Logan but as PPs said, both are winners

[sodapop]

LadyNymeria, I prefer Ryan by a lot, I guess I'm the only one that is not found of Logan. From some reason I find it a bit trendy and Ryan is a lot more classic.

[sodapop]

fem, I like it and wouldn't worry about the song.

[merryrissmas]

LadyNymeria, I like Ryan!
fem, Ophelia is lovely, I say go for it!

I agree!!

And fem I love Ophelia! DH vetoed it for DD, but it would have been on our list otherwise!

[merryrissmas]

flyakite, my faves from your list are Ronan, Heath, & Rhys. Good names!

[NJgirl84]

LadyNymeria of course I'm leaning towards Ryan since that is the front runner for us as well! ;-)

[annapunkalunka]

Well I just ordered something personalized from etsy, so baby 2 officially has a name! Samuel it is! Thanks for all of your input, ladies!

Haven't thought about middle names at all yet.

I like the idea of using middle names to honor family members, but I'm not sure how we'd choose between our dads or grandfathers. We're fortunate enough that they're all still with us, so it would mean choosing between multiple living relatives.

I also happen to think my dad and maternal grandfather's names would make better options to pair with a short first name like Ryan than my FIL and GFIL's names do. But haven't even started that conversation yet.

LadyNymeria , I prefer Ryan by a lot, I guess I'm the only one that is not found of Logan. From some reason I find it a bit trendy and Ryan is a lot more classic.

I was actually looking at rankings after I posted last night and I noticed Logan seems to be creeping up and up while Ryan has been more steady and actually declining a bit recently.

We were testing out Killian this week and I really like it. But I'm not sure if it should remain a guilty pleasure name rather than an actual name!

We found out today its a girl so for me it will remain a guilty pleasure. For now.

[LadyNymeria]

Bumping because I think MH and I agreed on Ryan tonight! No progress on a middle name yet, but I think we're officially set on on Ryan now!

We had Ryan as our first name pick too. We were going to go with Tyler for the middle name. Other options were James, Patrick and Claude (H's grandfather's name).

Ohh I just did, but I'll move it here:
Samuel or Samson?
DD is Calliope.

Samuel!

Elizabeth Rosemary, called Betty
Rosemary Elizabeth, called Rose

It'll be one of those.

My vote is for Elizabeth Rosemary (but I'm partial to the name Elizabeth as that's DD'S name, we call her Lizzy though)

[serendipity731]

Yay for picking a name LadyNymeria! Do y'all want to do a family name for the mn?

We've narrowed it down to 2 names and are set on a mn. I'm still keeping my eyes open to something else though.

Our picks are:
Dylan Mason
Jordan Mason

Mason is a family name on my side. I'm leaning towards Dylan, DS is Daniel and I think they go well together.

[fem]

We've decided for sure on Oph.elia Bea. Middle name is a little different, but we called my grandma 'Grandma B' so it has meaning to me. (Plus DH came up with it and is super proud).

DD is obsessed with the Ophelia Lumineers song now, so for anybody that knows it she calls the baby 'O-Ophelia'.

[fem]

serendipity731 I like Dylan!

[LadyNymeria]

serendipity731 - Not sure yet. We just started talking about it in the car on the way home from the grocery store, haha.

Love both of your picks! I like Dylan more between the two. Pretty much just because my SIL is Jor.dyn.

fem - Love it!!

[hurricanerek]

fem, I think that is a gorgeous name. Excellent choice!

[hurricanerek]

Can I get some help? We've decided on Autumn for our girl name but we are a bit mystified by middle names right now. I really love Autumn Lucia and DH wants to like it but he's not convinced. Are there any good suggestions for a middle name for Autumn? Our last name begins with a K and is one syllable.

Names we like but were vetoed:
Noelle-we didn't want two seasonal names
Juliet-we didn't like the flow
