Names?!

[HelloKitty]

Thought it would be fun to have a thread about names that everyone is considering. Our current choices are (nothing to be cast in stone of course!):

girl - Skye Elizabeth
boy - Shane ??

What about everyone else?

[TwinMom]

We still can't agree on any. Well, we have two tentative names, but I'm not completely sold on the boy name and dh isn't completely convinced about the girl name. All the good names are already taken! He wants Joe (NOT Joseph, just Joe, like his uncle) for a boy and I want Ava for a girl. I imagine those choices will change before February, though.

[HelloKitty]

Love the name Ava that's really pretty!!!!!

Why can't the guys just let us pick the names we like? :LOL Life would be soooo much easier that way!!!

[wtchyhlr]

I like Miranda Abigail for a girl and Dominic Gareth for a boy. DH is cool with the girls name, lukewarm on the boys.

[KateSt.]

Kitty, I love the name Skye and am seriously considering it for a middle name.

I knew a Shane Elliot (always thought that sounded nice.)

I really can't decided on names for either girls or boys -- I'm hoping he/she will tell me in a dream or I'll just know when I see him/her.

[HelloKitty]

Oooooh Shane Elliot - I LIKE that combo! Thanks I'm going to run it by DH tonight.

What's funny is last night I was just saying to him "well if we pick a boy's middle name that starts with an "E" we can start getting things monogrammed because boy or girl they have the same initials!!!!!"

Girl - Kimberly Francis
Boy - Scott Francis

I love the girl name, but I can't stand Scott. Scott has absolutely no meaning...it means literally a Scottsman. Umm, I'm not Scottish and neither is DH, but it was his best friend's name and he wants to memorialize him (he killed himself some years ago) so I can't really argue.

girl - Claire Isabella (left over from DS, so that one was easy)
boy - Luke ?? (possible middle name is Adrian, but not for sure.)

[shannon0218]

boy: John Caleb
girl: Megan Joan

[coopsmama]

girl: Hunter Katherine

boy: not a single blessed clue

[sadkitty]

So far its Cleatus the Fetus
DH cam up with Anastasia this evening and i have been trying to sell him on Caspian.

I told him I'd really like to choose something from the natural world instead of a "name" name. So far he's shot down Lark, River and Magpie (Maggie)

Well, we found out that it's a girl, and the name is Hazel. If it was a boy, it would have been Jasper Benjamin. The middle name for Hazel will most likely be Iliana or Eliana, or something similar (it has to be Hebrew). We were also considering Taliah. We both really like Adah, but then intials would be HAM, which is awful.

[TwinMom]

LOL, HAM spelling out a Jewish kid's initials--that's funny!

I LOVE the name Hazel! It was one that I suggested to dh, but he hates it. Jasper is pretty great, too. Really lovely names!

[happymamajenni]

Boy: Parker Donovan

Girl: Lauren Isabelle

[letabug]

Girl: Kielle Aubrey
Boy:Kane Aubrey

I am still looking but DH says these are it we have to decide for sure b/c with his job he may be gone and uncontactable when the baby is born. But I like these names. Aubrey is his best friends middle name and he INSISTED on it I like it so it was ok!

[Boobs]

Ben or Jane. I don't have a clue about middle names. I love Ben River, but dh hates it.

We haven't really even started talking about names yet, but reading this thread brought back a memory about the name Francis.

My aunt made this really cool painted birth certificate for my mom when I was born. I remember my mom telling me that the Saint that was watching over me was a woman in my Aunt's mind. She spelled St. Francis Hospital as St. Frances Hospital. Aunt Di isn't Catholic, so she wouldn't have really known the difference, but mom thought it was a cool story. My aunt was obviously really wanted to believe that a woman was watching over me.

Also... I have a cousin named Hunter! He's Hunter James, so, Coopsmama, why not use Hunter for either? And AVA will make it onto my list in both forms... Ava and Eva pronounced the same way.

I LOVE the names Anastasia and Parker! I also met a GORGEOUS little girl named Aubrey this week.

Geez, I can't believe I remembered all those names from your lists. Tee Hee... not so mommy brained today. I will have to go look at the lists again and maybe add some to a list I should start sometime.

Hellokitty~ it is pronounced kinda like kyle but choppy ky--elle I am horrible at the long e long i thing so hope that helps, it really doesn't sound like kyle because it is drawn out. Hope that helps...in Hawaii they prounce it kinda of like keelie but dh doesn't like that. On some baby naming site they have it spelled Kiele and have it spoken and that is how they say it hawaii.

[Pinoikoi]

We are considering O names because we have an a, e, and i already.
Right now I like Ophelia Helen for a girl and Othello or Otello something... for a boy.

I had a cousin named Shane. He drives a tank. He is my fav cousin (he is SO COOL!).
Sadkitty, have you thought about looking up natural things in other languages? River in Spanish is Rio, which I think is a very cool name.
