Any Names?

[momsmyjob]

I just thought I'd ask if anyone has come up with any names yet?

[Attached_Mom_to_7]

I actually thought of a couple early on..then have been distracted since!! I'd like something different and I'm hoping for a boy(ya never know though) and I''d like something, just not sure exactly what!! Just something thats not too common I guess!!

[clynnr]

We've come up with a few... DH and I rarely the same name, so these four have made it through several conversations. Here are some we like:

Emmaline Faith (or Faye) (pronounced em-uh-lean, think Anne of Green Gables)
Audrey Kathryn
Josiah Eric
William

We are FAR from choosing. I don't want to pick a name until I see my child--don't want to give him/her a name that doesn't fit him/her! We aren't going to find out the sex either. Anyone else have some good names?

Mary -

Just noticed your signature...you have some experience in this area! What are your children's names? Have any pointers for a newbie?

I'm not sure what I'm really looking for this time.
I like names the names
Forest
Finn
Daniel
Atticus
Griffin
Bowen


Gina
Norah
Colleen
Jenna
Rebekah
Lydia

Those are a few..I'm really having a hard time deciding this time

[Annabel]

We have decided on Anya if it is a girl, we can't think of a middle name we like that goes with it though. We have no boys name.

Annabel -

I love that name!! Unfortunately (for me, not you!), that's one that DH has nixed (though I'm still not sure why). I also like this spelling:

Anja

Yay! I'm so excited that someone is using this name! I love it!

[TalkToMeNow]

I like sooo many girl names, but dh vetoed all of them. My reject list is: Ada, Layla, Frida, Lucille (Lulu), Lila... and so on. He has yet to suggest a name. Sigh. I really wanted Ada, too. Oh well. At least we have a boy name!

This name is on our list too LOL but the Irish spelling of Aine (same pronunciation though).

Also on our list right now is Aeia (I think the correct pronunciation is Eye-a but I am trying to confirm it).

For a boy it will be Graeme (middle names probably Angus John)

Steph

[indiegirl]

Right now we like

Audrey Jane

and

Elliott Michael.

We're having a hard time with a girls name. At first I really liked Daisy Jane, but now I think it's too cute for an adult...some girl names on our list: Cassandra, Lucie, Sabrina, Tabitha (Tom likes this one)..I just cannot think of ones I "love" yet. I do like Rhiannon.

If we have a boy we're set..he'll be Thomas Alexander, called Taj.

[momsmyjob]

Meg-

I had Daisy Jane on my list for a long time..but figured nixed it for the same reason, too cutesy for an adult.

[TalkToMeNow]

Meg- we both have boy names picked out and are having trouble with the girl's! Right now, I really want the baby to be a boy so I am sure I have a name ready. Jude Gordon. I really do think it is a boy, though. So it may all work out.

[BoobyJuice]

We don't have any names yet. I actually just posted a question looking for boys names and got pages back to think about. We had girls names that we've never used - they've been our girl names for 4 years, but we just started rethinking them. One has been in amovie and the other on a tv show lately. One of our criteria is that they are relatively unique. TV and movies aren't a good way to start.

So we've used up our boy names and don't have any girl names. Good think I'm not due until the beginning of Nov.

[BabyOsMommy]

Even though we've decided for the 18week u/s and would like to know if it's a boy or girl if they can tell us then, I really don't want to name the baby until she/he is born. I want to see the babe to know name them. So we really haven't gotten too far into the name game yet.

We have Caleb and Avery left over from Owen, but no middle names, and I the name Emily Grace for a girl, but this is really just the preliminary stages for us. Basically with Owen, I would suggest names and Dh would veto them if he didn't like them (and he doesn't like a lot), until we had 3 on our short list. We knew we were having a boy from 18weeks, so we didn't come up with any girl names... I have a really hard time with girl names, I don't like them to be too frilly.

[tuffykenwell]

Well its official Our names are:
For a boy Graeme Angus John
For a girl Áine Beatrix Jane (the hat on the A makes it sound like Awn-ya and is more correct according to my Irish friend LOL!)

Phew...it is such a load off my mind to know that either way our baby has a name I was so grateful when Rhys was born because if he had been a girl we still had *15* girls names on our list LOL!! We only had one boy name so when they announced that he was a boy I was soooo grateful!

Steph

[Megamama]

he he...I'm glad we don't live anywhere near eachother Steph..I'm really liking Aine too..my daughter prefers the german spelling of Anja, and would be thrilled if her sister was called that. We have to use Jane because that is my dh's favorite aunt and he wants to honor her...I think Aine has made my short list.

Amanda: I love the names you pick out. Mabel is darling and so is Jude. Maybe you'll get lucky and be right? At the surprise u/s at the back up OB on friday he had me turn away when he got to "parts" because I don't want to know before the birth..but I think I didnt' see any appendages when he was showing me legs and feet..so I suspect this one is a girl and I will just have to come up with some name by november LOL.

[Annabel]

So in november we could have 3 Aine/Anja/Anya s? Must be a good name!

[BoobyJuice]

Could have had 4 (we would have been Aine), but one of our criteria is that it isn't too popular

[Annabel]

That's one of our criteria too, but I have never known anyone with that name before. It would be a little strange for so many people on the same board to give their children the same/ish name!
