Names Discussion

[erinshelley21]

I think it's time. Or if we've already had a name discussion thread, we need another one since most, if not all, of us know if we want to know.
Do you have a name picked out?
What names are on your list or your SO's list?
Since we have people on team pink and team blue having trouble, what names did you have picked out for the other team?

[erinshelley21]

We do not have a name picked out yet. I had a handful that I liked but dh wasn't fond of: Macy, Kendall, and Riley being favorites. We had Lexi on our list from being pregnant with DS. DH suggested Charlie and Aubrey was another he was okay with. Our list is narrowed down to Charlee and Lexi. Charlee is my favorite. Middle name will either be Danielle or Michelle. Danielle is after my dad (Daniel) and Michelle is after me.
Boy names that I liked were Hudson, Levi and Cole. Cole was a contender with DS. Hudson is now dh's favorite and he wants to have a 3rd most likely just to use the name because he's difficult like that.

[callmeKD]

I really want to have names that can't be shortened. DD is Gr.ace Kat.herine. Top girl names are No.ra Jose.phine or Em.ma Jose.phine or Em.ma Courtney. I chickened out using No.ra with DD.

Boy names are hard - possibly Will.iam Ro.bert NN Liam but I'm trying to stay away from NNs. And if we do Wil.liam then we might do El.eanor NN No.ra

[callmeKD]

I also like Ja.ck. Our last name has a lot of Ns in it and it doesn't flow well with names that end in N. Which is most of the boy names I like

[cosmicav]

We have decided names, and I feel super good about them. I am so contented with our name choices that I know I will be disappointed when we don't get to use one of them, lol.

[madameovary]

A boy would have been alden william.

[daisylola11]

We have a first name picked out and most likely a middle name since we both liked the same one, we just haven't made it "official". Matil.da Jose.phine

For whatever reason I always had a list of girl names I liked but only one boy name, which DH didn't like. I'm glad we are team pink because it would have been really hard.

On my list:
Eleanor
Evangeline
Colette
Mateo

[meggypoo1]

If this baby was a girl we were most like going to go with Madelyn and had zero ideas for middle name. The other girl name was Amelia and no idea with the middle name.
But we having a boy and officially (unless a really really good name comes along) Theodore Arthur

[erinshelley21]

callmeKD I love Jack! We know too many Jacksons though! Nora is really pretty though!

[Deleted]

Baby girl is Zelda Jade. We settled on it right away and had trouble with a boy name, so I guess it's good that were having a girl. Lol

[landonsmom15]

I think we're about 92% set on a name for this little boy!
Isai.ah Wil.liam
We also like Levi, Ezra, and DH still likes Liam.
I'm a lot pickier on girls' names, so I guess its a good thing we're having another boy!

So... spurred by this thread, I brought it up again. Pierce is out. I'm bummed.

Back to the drawing board for me.

Awe dern.

[glb30]

Aw @justinslovo I really like pierce! I hope your H starts contributing to the convo soon though!

We have decided on a name, but it's secret, and I feel like I can't even tell you ladies although I'm pretty anonymous on here! My H's mom is way to opinionated about names. Like- I won't be shocked if she gives us her opinion after the fact.

Are you married to one of my brothers? Lol I'm not telling people because my family shit on every name I've ever told them.

[amacbaby]

We were split between Elijah and Jonah and have settled on Jonah most likely. We are doing double middle names because we name after family and this is our last kid and we want to do one name from each side. We were thinking Timothy James but that was for our dads and we have second thoughts on that now. Next up is Andrew Christopher or Andrew Sean. I like the same same for Sean a lot better but we are undecided

[erinshelley21]

I'm sorry your H didn't like Pierce @justinslovo ! I hope he is open to talking names soon.

[obi]

My H is really set on not sharing the name before birth just so we have one secret but it is killing me so I will share it here.
We are going with Lil.y Hel.en
MN after my grandma. First name we have always loved. We had this name picked out last time before knowing C was a boy. It works out that my name is also the name of a flower.
I think it makes a good sib set. Ch.ad & Li.ly

[mikaela20]

Still no progress. DH says no to all my suggestions and doesn't give me other options in return. I'm trying not to stress about it, but it's super annoying! Uhh!

[ladytiffany24]

So, H and I have been talking names pretty much all weekend. H finally broke down and told me he wants to use an Irish name. He's Irish and along with his passing along his Irish last name, he wants our boy to have an Irish first name too. I think it's sweet!

We both came to the table with names and basically came away with a small list of favs. It's a small list and we have no idea about middle names yet but here they are:

Aidan
Connor
Nolan

Any other Irish boy name suggestions are welcome!

[amandamh2]

We are set on our name, but being team green means still one of each. Lauren or Alistair with family middle names, one from each side of the family. Middle names for a boy aren't quite settled yet but if we have a girl they will be after our moms (DS has middle names after our dads ).

[erinshelley21]

obi Lily is my favorite name! I'd push for it hard but SIL had a dog named Lily so it's out for us. I was legit sad when I found out lol.

[Deleted]

ladytiffany24 I love Nolan! Great name.

Nope...

Then it's still on the list, until J has anything to add.

[britab]

It's hard for us since I'm a teacher with 450 students. I can't do something popular because I know too many kids with those names.
We never really had a boy name. I liked Simon. DH loved Noah Thomas or Peter.

Really not a fan of younique spellings!

We're having a girl and we're stuck on M names with 2 syllables.
Possibilities:
Mabel
Maisy or Maisie
Myra
Macy
Middle most likely Ann after my middle name and my mom's.
No longer contenders:
Cora
Bridget
Melody

At least DH is starting to talk about names. We wanted a couple to bring to delivery room but only had one with DD.

[cosmicav]

ladytiffany24 Other Irish (i think) boy name ideas

Lochlan
Brian
Teague
Cian / Kian
Hugh
Jameson

I am... Very invested in Irish names lol (Im Irish through all Grandparents but 1).
My H nixed virtually all of them so I have to live vicariously through others.

[moutonrouge]

Boy name is all set, girl first name is set but still stuck on a middle name. We need to comb through a family tree for ideas.

We went through our family tree too - MN options include Josephine, Courtney, Agatha. It's so fun to look for family names! After naming DD we found that she has a great great great grandma on my H's side who had a similar name.

[callmeKD]

britab what about Margot?

Same problem here.. but my DH is set on passing along his name.  He is still claiming to be "joking".  You don't joke about something this much unless you want it ><
