Let's just get those names out there!

[EvolvingMama]

I know, I know....I don't even know if I'm pregnant yet, but I want to share names just because it's fun. If not this time around, perhaps for later.

Boys I like:
Leith
Finn
Truman
Declan
Seamus
Willem
Henry
Oscar (middle name)

Girls:
Chloe
Sophie (common I know)
Nora
Isobel
Eva

Any other mamas?

If we have another boy, he'll be: Alexander Michael
That was decided a while ago.

A girl is more difficult. If my DS had been a girl, he'd have been Adriana Hope. But, neither of us like that name much now.
I really like:
Sierra
Kiera
Maya
Ava

I like Emily, and I think it's traditional enough that DH would go for it, but I had a cousin named Emily who died, and I feel like her sister has the right to use that name for a child, and I really don't.

I wouldn't mind naming my daughter after my grandmother, Mary, or my foster mom, Jane. But, naming a child Mary Jane just isn't done anymore.

DH wants to name a girl Alexandra. But, that's just too close to Alexander for me.

We'll just have to keep discussing it. We have a while to make up our minds!

[LavenderMae]

First names:
Violet
Ellis
Jove
Linden

Middle names:
Mae
Echo
Nova
Lotus
Faye
Luna

I wanted to name my ds had he been a dd Sophie.

Ooooo I LOVE Ellis! Reminds me of the esteemed jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis.

[Chicky2]

We are thinking Ayla Rain or Ayla Rose for a girl, but NO CLUE on boy names, lol. My dh keeps coming up w/things like Hercules Xavier, and I just have to give him 'that look'. Weirdo.

We want a *mighty* name for a boy, but not too weird. My ds's name is Christofer Wolfgang, my youngest dd is Hanah Starr, and oldest dd is Breena Shey. We like slightly traditional, but also slightly unusual names, lol. I want an earthy name for this baby.

[EvolvingMama]

It's fun to hear all of your ideas. I also like Willa, Alix and Drew for girls, and Samuel for a boy. Have a great day!

[Knittin' in the Shade]

expecting the BFp this weekend, but I'll play along if it's a girl, she'll be either margaret grace (we'll call her maggie) or rose margaret (we'll call her rosie). Fo ra boy, it's either Jack patrick, or if I can get Dh to agree, Padraig Sean.

[pageta]

We still have Caroline Elizabeth that we didn't use on ds...and for a boy, ds is Ben so we thought we'd name the second boy Joey...like Ben and Joey (not Ben and Jerry). So Joseph something - we have not settled on a second name yet, in part because DH had to blab to his family what they were and his mom suggested DH's middle name "Patrick" which I had already thought of, but I am not letting my MIL name my kids! So, we have eight months to come up with a middle name for Joseph. It was a five minute conversation when I was pg with Ben (Benjamin Thomas) - no such luck this time.

How are we EVER going to choose? Any input??


My DS is Kiran Francis.

Kiran is a Sanskrit name which means 'ray of light', and Francis is after St. Francis of Assisi. We didn't finalise his name until a week or two before he was born.

[Girl Named Sandoz]

BTW, I don't test until another 2 weeks from now, so this is all theoretical at the moment.

[EvolvingMama]

eternal grace,

thanks for your list! You have alot of Gaelic and Celtic names. My BF loves Anya, which is the pronounced spelling of one of your choices, Aine.

I'm in England, near the Welsh border, so I'm lucky in that I get to hear a lot of interesting Welsh, Gaelic and Celtic names. I love names with a history, and a great meaning behind them, so my list has names from many different cultures. It will be SO hard to decide.

[Helen White]

DD would have been Asher William if she'd been a boy, so we may go with that. (I have this idea that this baby will be a boy.) Asher was a son of Jacob (my DH's name) and means "happy." William is my grandfather's name.

[Chicky2]

I LOVE the name Asher!!!!

[deleria]

Just popping in from October to check out baby names (I'm obsessed with baby names!)

Laurie, our second son is called Declan It's a lovely name! However, both Declans I know can be a real handful (my friend has a 6yr old Declan). We've decided it must be the name

Congratulations to all the newly pregnant mamas! I must go do some laundry while I have some energy and don't feel nauseous...

[SleepyMamaBear]

k i dont even know if i can join this club yet, cause we dtd on the 13th 15th and18th O'd (early!!!) on the 19th and DTD on the 19th and 21st, figuring might as well, we already have a HUGE chance, why not, if our son wants to be here that badly, let him come.

we have two little boys names picked out but i KNOW its either Rupert Finnegan McBride A(lastname)
or Riley Finnegan McBride A(lastname) he feels like my lil Finn baby.

our second boys name we have picked is Allastaire (not sure on the spelling of that one yet) Thorin McBride A(lastname)

Morgan my husband has two middle names, Thane and McBride(for his clan) so we decided all of our children would have two middle names, and our sons would pass on the McBride name.

IF this baby happens to be a girl, its Maddigan Zinnia Thane A(lastname)
Addy's full name is Adelaine Dahlia Lee A(lastname) Dahlias and Zinnias are my two favorite flowers, and Lee is my moms middle name. so a flower middle name, and a second middle name in honor of a family member. thats our lil girl middle name picking method.

but seeing as a little boy spirit keeps hanging out with me, and Addy has been calling him Finn, and Finney, i am like 90% its a boy.
and i am not even 1% possitive i am pregnant yet.
i just have a HUGE hunch.
i wasnt "supposed" to ovulate till the 23rd, so we thought we were playing it safe dtd early, then BAM ovulation on the 19th.
so IF i am pregnant, i am "due" nov 14th.

[EvolvingMama]

OK wimmin......so soon after my BFP, my partner and I are set on Sara Pearce C________ (3 syllable last name). I like Joe (Joseph or Jonas) for a boy - simple, not terribly common now as maybe 5 years ago, and cool. Of course, this could change..............

Thank you! Apparently my husband does too, as he's informed me that he's unwilling to consider any other boy names. So...I guess if we're having a boy, Asher it will be.

[lotusdebi]

Well, now it looks like Serena Hope, Maya, and Alessandra are in the lead at my house. Kira, Talia, and Riley are also in the running...
