DH went through the baby name book!

[ourcrazynavylife]

And these are the two lists he gave me.

I've marked off my "hell-no's" and marked my favorites :heart:

Came to see if there were any more suggestions.

[Widget123]

I like Johanna a little more than Joanna. Have you thought of that name or does Joanna have significance to you?

[joy]

I love Susannah! I prefer no H, but whatever. Joanna is nice, too. Unlike Widget123, I like Joanna more than Johanna. Haha.

Rhett is fab. Not into Cailean.

[billyhorrible]

Look at him, putting in the legwork!

Right?! So proud of him

[ourcrazynavylife]

Widget123 no significance. He just picked it out the book & I just really like the letter J lol

[ourcrazynavylife]

joy yea I'm pretty swooney over Rhett. DH likes the name but he is just a smidge put off because he knows a guy by that name.
And Susannah is my 2nd fav girl name (Magnolia just can't make the cut for DH )

[helenahhandbasket]

I like Vanessa a lot.

Suggesting
Caroline
Samantha
Cassandra
Jolene
Suzette

I also like Rhett
Suggesting
Rhys
Dane
Blake
Devin

[icedtea]

I'm just jealous he likes Lydia!

[brooklynesque]

Love Susannah! I think that's your winner. Also prefer Johanna to Joanna. Rhett is NMS but a fine name. I know someone who uses it as a nn for Everett, if you're into that.

[ourcrazynavylife]

My only concern is the climbing popularity of Rhett. It makes me kind of sad. Should this bother me??

[Deleted]

Rebecca and Alexandra are soooooo gorgeous. I like Alexis too.

Not a fan of your boy list.

Suggesting:

Julia
Evan
Christopher
Michael
Samantha
Catherine
Thomas

[ottertails]

I like a lot of the names on your list. Cara, Joanna (although the one on your list is the more popular spelling, I do prefer the H), Lydia, Savannah, Eloise, Elodie. Rhett, and Nathaniel. When it comes to Rhett being popular, consider that the percentage of males (nationally) given the name in 2015 was 0.0659% compared to the top name, Noah 0.9626%.

Suggesting (repeats are a +1 ):
Jenna
Gemma
Cecilia/Cecily
Helena
Jillian/Gillian
Celine
Eliana
Aurora
Leona
Maxine
Josephina/Josephine
Sylvie
Oriana
Julie/Juliet
Cynthia
Juno

Hugo
Jude
Craig
Cyrus
Lachlan
Heath
Keir
Vincent
Cormac
Jasper
Caius
Leo/Leon
Frederick
Victor
Oscar
Philip
Linus
Casper/Caspian

[cabbagecabbage]

I love Susannah! Rhett is one of those names where I just don't see the appeal but boys names are incredibly hard. If you both like it, that's awesome.

[joy]

Only you can decide that. But, Rhett is not Jackson!

[ourcrazynavylife]

joy yea for sure. DH was shocked when I told him how popular Jackson was.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Rhys is really the only one I can support on that list.

[ourcrazynavylife]

billyhorrible yeahhhhh. Pretty sure this baby's name is going to be Rhett. Lol.
DH was not impressed with my list.

Even though I'm concerned with it popularity wise. I only know one guy with the name and it's the same dude DH knows. So I guess theoretically it's not THAT popular.

[seamonster]

Love Vanessa.

I like Chilean. Rhett's ok.

Our son is lucky we found one name we both liked, no backups or top choices, literally one name. For our daughter we had lists and lists to whittle down and took our top picks to the hospital.

[ourcrazynavylife]

cabbagecabbage that's how we were with our daughter. Only 1 name we agreed on. Lol. No backups.

[Deleted]

Rhett and Susannah are lovely. Not too popular at all.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I like Susannah and DH like Joanna. I'm not sure if either of us can be persuaded to the other side so I tried to find more -ah ending names since that seemed to be the common theme.

This is what I got

Diana
Tatiana
Silvana (seel-vah-nah)
Fianna
Jordana
Gloriana
Oriana

Will be running them by him this evening.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Love Diana.

[ourcrazynavylife]

alwayscheese I just died for a minute. I read your post as "Georgianal" and had to do a double take. Haha

Georgiana = great name tho

[ourcrazynavylife]

How does everybody pronounce Georgiana ??

George-anna?
Georgie-Anna?
George-ana?
Georgie-ana?

Or something else

Usually I take hints from the parents, but Georgie-ahn-uh is my preferred way.

[BabyStandish]

I love Georgiana. That one is on our girl list.
