carrots I like Luke! But I'm partial because that's my nephew's name and he's a great kid. I don't think Luke & William sound Biblical together, and I was raised pretty hardcore Baptist.

carrots we considered Sloan for this LO (it's my grandma's maiden name). Don't take that one to the BNB, they generally hate it;) I really liked it and hope to get to use it in the future though! Also loving Luke, I have Luca on my short list of boy names for the future:)
In random name talk, if it helps anyone and just because I still think about names.
Had Ian been a girl he would have been Audrey. Henry was our possible boy backup name.
Had Louisa been a boy she was probably James, with Dylan and Brandon both backups. We were going between Louisa and Louise in the delivery room after finding out she was a she.
Right now, (even though we aren't TTC) H's favourite girl name is Holly and mine Jolene. James would probably still he the boy front runner. But this is all obviously still not a real discussion yet haha.

I really like James for a boy, mostly because I love Jamie as a boy's nn.
A second girl would likely be Eleanor Claire/Ruth/Charlotte. H doesn't LOVE Eleanor (it was his dad's moms name and h never knew her but apparently she was an alcoholic), but he loves Ellie as a nn. Other names I like for fns are Claire, Lily, Elise, and Katherine.
Our boy name is William Robert...which I now hate because it can be shortened to Billy Bob. Of course my H LOVES that, the weirdo. I'd call him Will. Our next two boy names are/were Henry Robert/Charles and Elliot John, which was my favorite. My h is a third generation Robert (although they all have different nicknames and no "jr" or "thirds" and I had to fight him to not continue the Robert trend.
My favorite name is Charles/Charlotte in honor of my pap, Charles. I can't use Charles, though - it was the name of my MIL's abusive exH and she asked me not to use it as a FN and my H doesn't like Charlotte.

H is just warming up to the idea of trying again starting October-ish (*maybe*), so I'm super excited at that prospect. For a girl, we both like Amelia. I like Cora, but DH likes Corrine better. I don't care for it at all. I also like Harper and Willow, but those are too eclectic for DH. For a boy, we both like Luke or Lucas. I really like Bryce, but I don't think I can bring DH aboard with that one. The middle name would definitely be Alan.
Thanks @jemomma and @wwprestige!! We were team green so part of the excitement of finding out she was a girl was also that we got to use her name haha!
I'm out of boy names. Naming 2 was tough. I love Luke but I do think it's a religious name.
I really like Heidi but I also think of Heidi Montag and we already know 2 little Heidis. We know 3 baby Maggies!
I was always said I wouldn't do names that could be shortened (have spent a lifetime answering to 3 different names) but then we saddled Fred with Frederick. We could not agree on any other name.
@scoop LOL sure is! There's a florist in my area who was pregnant around the same time as we were and named her daughter Cambria. I'd never heard it before but have seen a few other babies with the name on Instagram since, so I feel like it's gaining popularity.

Well this is fun! I love seein all the baby names. carrots I like Luke, definitely bible based but I don't go there when I hear the boys names together.
DH and I will start talking about a time line to try again towards the end of the year. I had a very hard time with boys names.
Boys Jack I saw someone mentioned Emerson Mac...it should be a nick name but I just like Mac I like Jackson Thomas but there are far too many jacksons the world at this point.
Girls Clara (stolen from beersandweirs) Ellie or Eloise Lorraine (maybe)
