Names yet anyone?

[De-lovely]

My dh and I are struggling this time around with names-of course once we find out the sex it will help to narrow things down.Anybody have some ideas yet?

So far we agreed but arent definite on Naomi for a girl maybe Quinn for a boy....He says Trey for a boy say no way! I said Marley for a girl or Sophia Corrinne but he said no way. :

[kathteach]

My husband and I haven't talked about it at all, actually, and I haven't thought about it either. I like your names!

[luckylady]

We have agreed. nothing short of a miracle. LOL.

BOY: Anthony Charles (after DH and my grandpa)
GIRL: Haviland Celeste or Haviland Margaret (both family names) but DH likes either.

[ChattyCat]

I am convinced that this child will not have a name until it is at least 3 months old. Dh and I have both found names that we sort of like, but nothing that grabs either of us, forget finding something that both of us think is perfect. This is much harder the 2nd time around.

[KindRedSpirit]

I like Brynn Lorraine for a girl,and Eli James for a boy.Dh isn't big on either,but I don't care Who knows,we'll have to meet them first.Of course,Ds is convinced it's a boy and his name is Sa-Sa...It's a work in progress...

Ugh. Picking names is soooo hard. Can anyone suggest girl or boy names that are

• not in the top 20
• kinda germanic
• two syllables
• easy to say
• easy to spell
• in the baby name book

With a name like mine, trust me, the last three are important!

We have boxed ourselves into a corner trying to follow up Wolfgang's name !

[KindRedSpirit]

Does it need to be boy,girl,or either?

Girl-Gisel comes to mind,or Leisel

Boy-you could be sneaky and look at other composers first names(Amedaeus)I have always liked Johannes(Bach)not sure how Germanic...

we have had our girl name for a while Naomi Mercy. BUT, I am convinced this one is a boy, which leaves us with needing a BOY O name (long story, but it has to start with an O), and we are at odds.
I like Ocean but hubby says NO. He likes Obadiah. The middle name will probably be Chassid.
My grandfathers name was Orlu, but I have never been able to find it in ANY name books anywhere and it does sound kinda old. who knows, any ideas?

Ksenia, I love Greta!

We are so undecided... I tend to like classic names and dh tends to like a wide variety!

For a boy, I saw the name Trevor today and thought that was cute.

The first two pg we had name ideas but didn't really settle on a name until after the big u/s but since we're not having an u/s this time we have more time to choose a name for sure and yet I want to go ahead and start working on names since we have a hard time deciding!

If anyone has some suggestions... dd is Elana Grace (eelay-na) and ds is Jeremy Kenneth. I don't care for trendy names. Jeremy is would normally be too popular for my tastes but we were naming him in memory of my brother and FIL so it didn't matter.

Have fun everyone!

Rowenta: Orlu is a town in France. Try Googling it.

Dh and I have added Samara to our list of girls' names. So right now it's: Samara Jade, Natalia Jade (Tasha), or Lyra Jade. For boys, we're pretty much stuck on Asher Hart. Boys' names are REALLY hard for us.

I think Greta is adorable! I also like Liesl, but it is a little Sound of Music.

Dunno if it's in the book, but Tristan? It's a kewl name.

We've had names all set for a while now.
Boy: Jace Lawrence (after a close friend and my grandpa)
Girl: Elanor Rose (after DH's grandma, with a Tolkien-esque twist and rose is kind of a 'family middle name' in our current group of friends, if that makes sense. Might do Elanor Gabrielle though, cuz the babe I miscarried was going to be Elanor Rose and I don't really want to give her name away, if that makes any sense. Something should be special to her, even if it was too early to know if she was really a girl.)

I'm obsessed with boy names that end in "o." Can't use Milo b/c good friends of ours have one. I do like Theo...any others? (It can't be *too* ethnic b/c we're pretty whitebread, although MIL is full Italian. Plus has to go okay with Ronan.)

Names are fun!

[Outofmymindyo]

We actually decided before we even got pregnant on the following:

Girl: Jayda Claire
Boy: Elijah James

[lilmissimpatient@c]

For a boy we like Dominick Evan or Bradley Evan....We need to use DH's name Evan as the middle, even though it's going to drive me to grey hairs

For a girl, We like Josephine Rose (after my two great-aunts) or Cecilia Grace. I really liked Annabelle, but DH hated it.

It'll probably change 400 times between now and when the babe gets here though

I'm visiting from the July board, but I'm wondering why you chose Mercy? I love that name, and have considered it as well as Clemency. Does that seem to weird?

[lacysmommy]

Girls name will be Rose Marie (not too fond of the mn myself, but I love the use of Rose as a fn, so I gave up mn rights to have a fn I love). Boy's name will be David Micheal... kinda boring, yes, but that is DH's name and it is a family tradition and important to DH. I love the name David in any case, despite the fact that it is very common.

Ksenia... here is a link to popular German names. http://german.about.com/library/blname_top10.htm I personally LOVE Maximilian. Another cool german boy's name is Hans. The girl's list is pretty boring, but there are links to other lists of names.

You didn't ask me... but I love the name Mercy! We might do that for a middle name if we have a girl depending on the first name we choose... I'd like to do Hope, Faith, Joy, Glory or Mercy since dd's mn is Grace.

Hmm... Clemency for a girl right? Do you have a nn in mind? If I heard Clem I would think boy, nn for Clement or something.
