Names yet anyone? - Page 2

[Darcy37]

Athena Marie for a girl and we cant decide on a boy name he likes Zane and I like Lars

[PancakeGoddess]

I hadn't thought boy or girl... it's pretty awkward without a nickname, and clem reminds me of phlegm, ew, heh.

I also think Prosper is a really great name.

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. :

I like sophia. Is dh a Jr..if so does he want Trey b/c he wants ds to be the third...Thats always what I think when I hear Trey.

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 !

These may not meet all of your requirements but here goes
... g means it is listed as german in baby book
Gretchen g
Tressa g
Ashlyn
Ashlind
Ansley...my dd's name
Ainsley
Bridget g
Evy g
Christa g
Irma g
Johanna g
Karla g
Kase g
Lenore g
Lottie g
monika g
Zella g .....Goes well with Wolfgang IMO


Just a few ideas

[Marylizah]

Benjalo, Clémence is a girl's name in France, but I agree, I don't think it translates well into English, esp nickname wise!

We agreed on a girl's name before we even got pg: Elissa Grey. (Grey is a family name, Elissa was a phonician queen).

Boy names-- not so much. We're having a lot of trouble because the name has to sound good in THREE languages: French, English and Arabic. DH wants an Arabic or Phonician name only. I say, the kid will have a hard enough time fitting in with two parents who are "foreign" and will need a name that can help him blend. Plus, the last name is pretty obviously not French/English anyway.

I really like the following for boys

Thomas
Paul
Alexander
Edward / Edouard
All of these names would work where DH comes from as there is a large Christian population, (& we are Catholic) so it would not seem weird.

and for middle names either Georges or David after our fathers.

It's a darn good thing we still have six months to battle this out!

: Amen to that!

[radish]

So far I have come up with:
Xavier
Oliver
Quin (boy or girl)

And I also like "Fox" LOL not just because of the x-files but I love animal middle names

DH doesnt like any of them.

Yes he is a junior and that is even more reason why I think its goofy!!!

Oh and Michelle my second daughters name is Elena Dru pronounced they way you wrote.....I love that name.

[ILoveMySofie]

Im not saying anything about names we have picked so far until we know the sex I am from Russia and DH is from Spain so the names we choose have to reflect our background at least a little...therefore naming a girl Joe would be out of the question even though i think its adorable.
BUT aside from the names we are thinking of using, here is a list of names i have always loved:

GIRLS:
Charlie
Nadia (in Russia full version of this name Nadezhda means Hope)
Vera (means Faith in Russian)
Sofia ( DD's name)
Anastasia
Isabella
Aurelie/Aurelia
Audrey
Brigett
Mila
Mia
Lily
Rose (LOVE those together - Lily Rose)
Katia
Daria
Bruna
Carla
Santa

this isnt the complete list but i cant think of the rest right this second,i do have prego brain after all.

BOYS:

this list is much shorter, boys names for some reason are a lot harder for me to really love. And i cant stand Russian boy's names.. :

Sergio (DH's name)
Eduard (my Dad)
Milo
Milan
Chase
Matteo
Santiago
Jack

OH OH Forgot one name! I have just heard this name recently for the first time ever, and it grew on me and now i find it adorable. Dd goes to preschool with a girl named Minty, and her full name is Araminta. They are from England, and im not sure if the name orginated there somewhere or if it is made up. But it suits the little girl soooo much!

[NurseLaurie]

We "decided" this weekend. Of course, we can't guarantee that this will stick

Girl: Adelaine Louise
Boy: Jackson (Middle name with an R...maybe Richard like his daddy) I also like Jackson Reese

[zaksma]

This child will never be name- NEVER!! I love the name Henry for a boy and DH hates it- why, you ask? I don't know- "I just don't like it" insert pouty tone here. And he refuses to counter with a boy's name because "it's not going to be a boy." AAAAHHHHH!!

For girls, he is more willing to discuss since he is convinced this baby is a girl, but I'm not in love with anything yet. We like Elinor or Evelyn (for DH's great grandmother). I like them but they don't feel right to me. As soon as I found Alden's name, I fell in love and it was HIS name right away. I am afraid that I'll never be able to top his name because I love it so muich. Luckily, my u/s is in less than 2 weeks so maybe we can get down to some serious name decisions.

Ok I won't look at girl names bc I dont' want to get my hopes up so anyways
dh and I looked through all the boy names and could only agree on 2 names so
we just put them together and came up with Dillon Brett......
