What are you planning to name your baby?

[babymakes5]

Girl:
First name: Hannah, Samantha, or Rosalie
Middle name: Marcella (after his grandma) or Jane
Right now we're leaning toward Hannah Jane (because Hannah Marcella makes me think of Hannah Montana...)

Boy: Marcus Andrew

[hullabalou]

A boy will be Theodore Benjamin (Theo). A girl....who knows. We find out the sex TOMORROW!!! So if we have to decide on a girl name, we will start then lol.

[jennaleigh23]

Current faves:

For a girl:
Adelle Olivia or Cadence Leigh

For a boy:
Jaxon Joseph or Noah Joseph

I just spilled to my bff last night that I was leaning towards Jaxon for a boy and she said it was her and her hubby's absolute number one pic for a boy but they're not even trying for kids yet.

[lindylogana]

Haha no idea yet. Hopefully this thread will give me some ideas. Boys we have - Lucas Tyler or Evan Tyler so far but if this one is a girl she may be nameless :/

[beachy]

I think we have it figured out, but still might change it. Not sure on middle names yet though.

B/G twins: Lincoln and Charlotte
B/B: Lincoln and Everett
G/G: Charlotte and Olivia

I'm surprised to see a few people mention Everett! I didn't think it was popular at all! Not that I care really, just surprised.

Also as for popularity of names, even with the number one most popular names it's stil rare that our kids will have more than one in a class. With such a push for unique names and whatnot it's not going to be like when we grew up with a million Nicks, Mikes, Saras, etc.

My DS is Matthew Spencer. I've always been great with boys names, but struggled with girls names.

So far, we're set on our boys name: Jackson Glenn. Jack is my grandmother's middle name (which I love for a middle name for a girl! Very different. So, it's possible that we could use Jack for a girl's middle name too). Glenn is DH's favorite grandfather's name.

For a girl, we've got Hadley Grace. I keep going back and forth with Hadley. I do really like it, but for some reason, I'm having a hard time committing to it. I also like Madelyn and DH likes it too. But he's pretty stuck on Hadley. DS and I have also suggested Emily, but DH doesn't want Emily bc he thinks I only like Emily bc the show Revenge is one of my favorites. He keeps saying "we are NOT naming our child after a TV character!" LMAO.

My sister's last name is Hadley. DH's brother and sister-in-law had a baby last year and named her Hadley. When they told us her name about 4 months into the pregnancy, my DH said "you're naming your child after CoachTsWife's sister's family!!??" Somehow they were clueless to this fact, but they didn't care, and I don't blame them. So we have nieces and nephews with Hadley as their last name on my side, and one with it for the first name on DH side. I know my nieces would someday like to name a future child Hadley to honor their maiden name, I think it's a beautiful name!!

[emwithpeanuts]

These are considerations right now, but nothing set in stone:

Girl: Chloe Olivette
Boy: Alexius (Alexi) Luca or Luca Alexius

We're debating Lucas Tyler too! DH said he would call him LT, so that may nix it. haha

I'm having the worst time loving a name this go round for a boy. With DD I had no issues picking her name. 

[bshelly]

For a girl, our favorites are Sofia, Adelaide, and Eleanor. My favorite is Sofia Adelaide. The only thing that makes me hesitant is its popularity right now, but I love its meaning, so might not care. Otherwise, we would probably go with Eleanor Adelaide.

For a boy, our current front-runner is Ezra Elliot. We also like Finnegan, Jude, and Simon.

[barefootcontessa]

Team Pink.

Her name will be Ji.lli.an Patr.i.cia.

I LOVE the name Ezra so much. We can't use it, though, because Husband's cousin named her son Ezra.

Simon is so awesome and underused. It would get my vote

[wineandcake]

Today I'm loving Georgia and Sarah. I'm sure DH will hate them both. Ugh, girl names are so hard. Boy names are just way too easy for us.

I love the name Simon, too! Also the name Theodore. When I told this to DH, he just goes, "it just sounds like you want to name our children after the Chipmunks...

[mackalack]

I posted in randoms, but I'm pretty darn excited about the name that I've found and DH hasn't vetoed!

Girl: Evelyn Jean (nn: Evie)
Boy: William Patrick (nn: Will)

Penelope June for a girl.

Finn Alexander for a boy.

So jealous. I love both of these but DH won't do Penelope and a family member named their pet Finn. Grrrr

You all have created such cute names. I'm a teacher and I really struggle with names because former students "ruin" names for me.

I totally understand! I work at a psychiatric hospital. Many names have been ruined by patients.

DH and I picked our name shortly after finding out it's a boy. He will be Jude Oliver. Luckily, I've never met a Jude yet!

Yup. THIS. Being a play therapist has ruined so many great names for me.

[Deleted]

I think we're pretty sold on Liliana, but still trying to pick the middle name from a bunch of (mostly family) names we like but aren't sure of yet (Elizabeth, Sophia, Maria, Grace). Our last name is three syllables, so I'm a little hesitant to go with Liliana Elizabeth dah dah dah, but I had a super long maiden name that got even longer upon marriage, so I'm clearly not completely opposed.

DH wants Alexandra....nn Alex. I'm not feeling it. I like Lauren or Emily.

Boy's name is John. Plain and simple.

My name is Alexandra!  I used to hate it growing up, because i thought it was too long and people CONSTANTLY mispronounce it and spell it wrong.  
When I started in surgery, one of our docs is greek, and he heard me complain about my name.  He said "Oh no, Alexandra is a beautiful strong greek name!!  I won't call you anything else!"  

And he doesn't.  

[midwestchaos]

We know it's a girl, and I think Wren Elizabeth is what we'll be going with. I've never decided on a name this early on but I feel like it just fits. Our oldest daughter is Dylan, our sons are Sullivan (Sully) and Calvin (Cal).

Calvin is our back up boy name and one of our pups is Sullivan

[elauren88]

DD is Kathryn Gail

Girl name: Margaret Ann
Boy name: Jack William or Jack Loren

[shawnabm1320]

Okay,
I have a long list of girl names. I like more old fashioned names, but here we go:
-Elisabeth (after my great grandmother) nicknamed Elsie
- Evelyn
- Elinor
- Geneveive
- Lillian
- Adelaide

I think we are fairly "set" on the boy's name and possibly the middle name as well:
#1: Forrest Zachary
or
Forrest William ( William is a family name on both sides )

other boy names:
Austin
Elijah
Russel
Elliot
Seth

Girl names are a whole other thing....I keep finding ones I like and talking myself out of them because of popularity. Here are a few that keep coming up:
Margot
Eliza
Charlize
Analise
Audrey
Lilah

Ah! We were just discussing the name Forrest, because it was my great grandfathers name. I was like, "I've never met another Forrest, though." So funny that someone on the July board is using it! It's on our list too

[draeray]

We are having a girl and right now our #1 pick is Stella. That could change but it's currently the front runner.

[draeray]

Gah! How do you edit a typo?

[pixiepink24]

beachy Lincoln was my number one for a while!

My favourite girl name (since I was 12 years old) was Alexandra, but now that I'm pregnant it doesn't appeal as much to me! I also used to love the name Aiden (which I knew from a cartoon when I was younger) but that flew off my list in a hurry when everyone was naming their boys that!
At the moment I'm leaning toward Ella for a girl. The issue is I need to use Lee as a middle name for my first daughter (my middle name, my mom's middle name & my grandmother's maiden name). I don't think it sounds very good with Ella, unfortunately.
I'm up in the air for boy names. I like Rhys, Connor, Elliot, and Julian.
Maybe I'll ask this while I'm at it: is it weird to put two middle names on a boy? I've heard of it on girls sometimes, but not really on boys. I thought about using Malcolm Lorne as middle names for a boy (after my father who died in 2008, and my grandfather who died in 2010). Would it be too strange?

I have a friend that has two middle names (male). He never seemed to mind it, and I think it's cool

[tiamiaxx]

Wow there are so many unusual names going on. I love the name Ezra for a boy.

We're not really set on anything or sharing all of them but have thought of:

Girl:
Laura- my grandmother's name with nn loz or to DS delight, "Lola"
Elora- spin on gmas name and a beautiful meaning. Gives options for nn to reflect personality eg. Elle Ella ellie Lora lor loz or rara (for baby/sibling nn)

Boy:
Ezra- working on DH to clear this name
Roman- husband loves but I'm not sure.

middle names will be after family members and probably in maori (as I'm maori)

I can't believe people would mispronounce or misspell Alexandra.  I mean, it's spelled exactly how it sounds, and isn't an odd name at all.  People are just silly.

I really like it.  One of my bff's named her daughter Alexandra, and her nn is Ally.  It fits her perfectly, and it's a good strong name.
