The Name Game

[cnf2013]

Since we're talking names in randoms, let's start the eventual name thread.

What's on your list? Your SO's list? Anyone solid on name choices yet?

[Deleted]

DH- Alice and George

Me- George, Ford, Oscar, Simon, Louis
Matilda, Harriet

I don't think any of these will stick. Several are problematic due to the names of our other kids, the others we will never agree on.

[peggels24]

Boy - Matthew Lucas (this is for sure definite)
Girl - Abigail Mae (but that is leftover from DD so we may change it)

@annperkins, I love Matilda - it's on my list as well (I haven't discussed it with DH yet though)

[beefinch]

I like this thread!

We've decided that I look for names, and DH chooses from my list, partly because he has really weird taste in names and I don't like 'out there' names.

Boys;
Flyn
Myles
Lloyd
Kole
Finley

Girls;
Emmeline
Everly
Jasmyn
Eleanor
Hazel

Top contenders are - Myles and Emmeline

@annperkins I love all of those names!

You see how George and Ford would be an issue paired with DS's name though, right? And Harriet is basically a combo of both of their names, which could be weird.

This was a fun puzzle, I figured out your DS's name, haha

[pootsen]

@thatgolfbitch I love your taste in names! My all-time favorite girl name is Lucille (after DH's maternal grandmother) Patricia (after my maternal grandmother) and I think Lucy for a nn is so cute. DH doesn't really like it though so unless I can convince him we will have to go with something else.

As I said yesterday, I like the name Calvin for a boy but that's not set in stone either. We would probably do a middle name after someone in DH's family since since DS shares a middle name with my dad.

[blabbermouth]

Ours are a bit random, but the ones we've talked about the most are Rui for a boy (it's Portuguese) and Jordana for a girl (umm, from Jordana Brewster). Also, we went to a place called Jordan river on the day of my IUI.

[blabbermouth]

@thatgolfbitch, I love Lucille/Lucy too. DH likes Lucia, but I don't really.

LOL It does sort of read like an ACT word problem. I'm just trying to keep you guys on your toes to help prevent the steady decline of pregnancy brain😉

[blabbermouth]

Thank you @annperkins !

I actually knew a coworker was pregnant when she made this really dumb mistake at work which she never ever does! I hope to avoid this.

My brain totally doesn't get it - I've been trying to figure it out LOL

@thatgolfbitch, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one using coin flips for name decisions lol.

You obviously ignored your study guide.

Side note. I have always loved my middle name, Lucille, and Lucille (Lucy) would be near the top of my list if we werent decided.

Love Lucille/Lucy!

[cnf2013]

Boy will be Troy David, set in stone. It's basically a non negotiable for H, which is fine, I have no pull towards any boy names.

Girl will be Cora, mn TBD.

[Deleted]

I forgot about Iris, I really like that name. I don't think DH is going to be into it, though.

[blabbermouth]

@annperkins, I love Iris! DH does not.

[lilrubberduckie]

Boy will be Beau Benjamin. I think... it was our boy name for dd , now maybe dh wants to change the mn but we got time.

Girl will be Sadie Mae both family names.

Other names we like
Charlotte
Eleanor (Ellie or Nora)
Hazel Marie
Isabelle

Henry
Sebastian
George
Caleb

[jentech84]

We're set on James for a boy, always have been. MN has waffled around.
Girl this time we can't agree. I LOVE Madeleine or Alice, but H has vetoed both. He hasn't given any serious suggestions though, just joke ones. I know we have lots of time, but if you're going to say, "No, no, no, no..." to all of mine, at least respond with something you're legitimately considering.
I'll definitely be perusing the boards for good name suggestions. I'm blanking otherwise!

[RoLoMa]

Last time around DS didn't have a name until his 2nd day of life. We had a girl name all set but, of course, it was a boy. I would have loved to use our girl name this time if we end up with a girl however our good friends used our girl name and my cousin and his wife used it as their middle name (it is our grandmother's name). So I guess we start from ground zero. We probably won't even discuss it until after we know the sex, although I always have a running list. We will do early screening so should know the sex by about 13 or 14 weeks.

[zonagirl]

I think we are going to go with the name Wren. Boy or girl. I know that I love it for a girl, and I think I do for a boy too. Only, I can't think of a single MN for it. Also, I may change my mind completely, but right now that's what I'm going with.

[Deleted]

Here are my lists. They're a combo of names I've liked on the Baby Name app and names I like in the wild. There are a lot right now. DH still won't talk about them until we know the sex, so I have no sounding board to edit.

Me too.

I think we solidified our girl name last night- Cora Clementine. It just makes my heart happy.

I love the name Cora. My grandmother's name was Corrinne so if I ever have a girl, her middle name will be Corrinne. But I've considered it as a first name.

Girl name is pretty set, but we are lost on boy names.  We have 3 boys and I'm pretty sure this one is a boy too.  So I will be here, for ideas 

I'm having the same problem. We have 3 boys and I used all my favorite boy names. I'm sure this one is a boy too 😂

[lgraceh]

We like Nolan Scot for a boy (misspelled middle name courtesy of DH's misspelled first and middle names). For a girl, we are thinking Laurel Grace. All the women on MILs side have "L" names, but MH only has a brother and a male cousin, so the tradition ended. In a weird coincidence, SIL and I both have "L" names. So I'd like to continue the tradition. But L names are hard! I'm the 5th generation of Grace as a MN, so definitely passing that on.

[lgraceh]

clucky and fknhostile, that would be hard coming up with a 4th name of either sex!
