I am gonna do it..names

[WineNChocolate]

So I know..I know I am at work and should be working. Hell I haven't even seen my Dr yet to say yes in fact you are not crazy you are preggers. BUT...I have been just dusting off my baby name books and well googling.

If we have a boy..well its just my dh name again..this one will be the third. William Joesph nn- Liam. Why you ask cause my husband is Billy/Will and my fil is Bill. And I might of wanted a Liam lol.

Girl...I am all over the place again. Our first DD we couldn't agree so we went with our mothers middle names which worked. But now I want something not family related. But then I think I get to creative and she'll hate me. Lol

Soo..sorry bantering on..anyone contemplated names..already decided on one perhaps?

[WineNChocolate]

theophania yeah I can imagine having to come up with a boys name again would be tedious.

I do like your girl names. I have a friend with each of your names..well one is my sister. I approve.

[singingsea]

Girl names I like:

Amelia
Lily
Ruby
Fiona
Autumn

Boy names: No idea. I already used my favorite boy name for DS. Kier.an. I'd like to find another celtic name.

Unisex:
Rowan

Boy names we like - Kyle, Elijah, Cooper, Merrick (middle name)

We have two boys so this is harder for us.

Girl names - Melanie or Melody, Samantha, Gabriella, Meredith

Samantha is our girl name

[doodler]

We have been trying to think of boy names since I got pregnant in July. I swear if this one is a boy he will remain nameless.

[hurricanerek]

Boy name will be the same as last time: Jonah Dev.ereux. MN is a family name.

For girls, our frontrunner is Autumn. (singingsea I like your list). We also like Ainsley, April, Cora, Juliet, Noelle, and Penelope. I'm going to have a hard time committing because DH vetoed my very favorite girl name (Aurelia).

[WineNChocolate]

hurricanerek I love Penelope my hubs...does not. Meh

I also love:
Nadine
Sloane

We had agreed that Grey will be in the name for my gm her mn is Grey.

Girl will be Lorraine after my grandmother. We were really close and she passed away last year. My due date is her birthday and it just feels perfect.

Boy - I have NO clue. It took us forever to come up with DS name. I like Elliot but I'm not sold on it and DH doesn't like it.

[kerbear]

Boy- Charlie (Charles) after my dad
Girl- Perhaps Nora, Ada, Gwendolyn.

I love Lorraine by itself but the family significance makes it so perfect!

My dad passed away when I was 12 so I have always said I would name my first child after him. If we have a boy, he would be Samuel Ryan.

If we have a girl, Samantha would be the middle name, but no idea about a first name yet. I have a first cousin named Samantha after my dad, so it would be too confusing for our baby's first name to be Samantha. We have a long last name and we want it to flow, so it would be a short first name.

[singingsea]

I like River for a girl's name too but we have a "water" last name. Boo.

[cassey910]

I'm letting DH pick the boy name since I chose DS's name. I do however love the names he picked. Oliver and Gavin
Still up in the air about a girl name but we both love the name Ember.

I love baby names and desperately need ideas for a boy! We were team green the first time around - we had two options for a girl with a clear frontrunner (which we used for DD), but we never settled on a boy's name that I truly loved (good thing we had a girl!). Our #2 girl's name (Beatrice) is now showing up everywhere (we know 3 little girls with the name, including a family member's daughter), so it's off our list.

This time around, I already have a girl's name that I adore, but DH isn't fully on board (yet!). And I'm still totally stuck on boys. I prefer names that are relatively rare but real/not made-up. DD's name has generally been 900+ in popularity according to the social security website, but I would consider anything around 300+. Suggestions welcome!

[lovetruly2015]

We're using the same girl name as last time. Adaline
For a boy I think DH is stuck on Collin im ok with but I also feel like I might like something else better I really like Jackson too so well see that one might change. DH has already started referring to the baby as Addi.

[cbrandt1]

I love talking names, but no one ever likes my names ha ha!

I love DS's name sooo much. I'm actually afraid I'll never like another name as much. We had his picked for 4 years. His name is Declan David. We have a long German last name so I'm trying to keep them short and sweet.

Boy: Graham, Owen, Patton
MN would be Russell

Unisex: Connor and Carter.

I struggle with girl names a lot because I don't want a "cutesy" name. This is also where I start getting flamed ha ha. Here goes...

Girl: Charleston (Charlie), Gretchen (DH's favorite), Vail, Falynn, Rowan.
MN would be Jean or Louise after family.

We were team green last time, and our girl name was Nora Louise, but throughout the pregnancy, Nora started popping up EVERYWHERE so we had to start over.

[cbrandt1]

cassey910, I love Ember!

[caz1221]

cbrandt1, my DH also likes Greta/Gretchen. If you're looking for a strong girl's name that isn't too popular, what about Ingrid or Freya?

[mc13]

Already decided based on our extra names from DD (we were Team Green and will be again).

Girl: Eliza
Boy: Oliver or Theodore

Hmmm I'm not a huge fan of Ingrid, but Freya is pretty!

DH says he's never met an ugly Gretchen ha ha.

Eta- he's also always liked the name Seven for a girl.

[juliayadda]

If I have a girl she will be Freyja Liv after my grandmother

A boy is harder Norwegian boy names are weird DS is already the best one. Erik.

[juliayadda]

Also I know why I like Freyja but I do not understand its sudden rise in popularity! I swear it will be top ten next year!

[caz1221]

juliayadda, I think it's showing up in the media more, so it's on people's radar. For example, Jenna Dewan Tatum's character on Witches of the East End was named Freya (her sister was actually named Ingrid, so I associate those two names a lot) - that's the first time I'd ever heard the name. I think it's gorgeous, but DH has vetoed it.

Emily Blunt will be playing a Freya in a movie this year too. I guess Norse is hot right now and all the other female goddesses have less desirable names ie. Hel or Frigga

I know a guy named Leif (pronounced life) and I think it's pretty cool!

[jennybeans]

We will be team green so we have to pick out both again. We had a good girl name the first time around (we had a boy) but since then we have had friends use that name so we have to find a new one

We both like Nathaniel for a boy. My husband also likes Landon or Parker.

We like Nora or Olivia for a girl. We would like to use Frances as a middle name (family name) if it works with the first name.

[jennybeans]

theophania I love your girl names!

We have a Norwegian friend name Trym (tree-mmm). I don't know how common it is, but I really like it.
