Any name thoughts?

I know it's early, but surely some of you have been mulling names over already

If DS2 had been a girl we would've named her Aria Saffron.

We still like Aria, but I'm not so keen on Saffron, so it's back to ground zero for a middle name.

Another combination that I'm really liking (haven't said anything to DH yet) is Ania Raine.

I don't have any ideas on boy names...we're both kinda hoping it's a girl

We have chosen both our names - boy and girl. We've had them chosen for at least 12 months! I'm not allowed to share them though. DP has me sworn to secrecy!

Love love the name Saffron but it's another one vetoed by DP!

I like Ania Raine...pretty.

I already have five boys and I am not sure I can come up with another boys name I like. All the boys names are Biblical, and I have always liked Obadiah but have been nervous to use it. I don't want anyone calling him Obie.
As far as a girls name, hmmm...I like different names, unique names. Maybe Jeneva?

We were just talking names last night. I don't want to find out the sex and just pick a name that will work no matter what we have. DH doesn't like that idea. So if we end up picking just one name I really like Hadley. If we pick a girls name I like Harper and don't have any boy names....yet

We have a girl name that I really like, but none of our boy ideas have really struck me yet as The One. We're definitely talking about it though! My DH asked our waitress for recommendations the other night (we're not telling people we're expecting yet, but he's having a hard time with that )

When we agreed to name our son Benjamin, I agreed with my husband that we could name the next boy Vincent...we'll see if he is going to hold me to it. Other boys names I like right now are Simon and Leo. If Ben had been a girl he would have been Eleanor...I know my husband still likes that name but right now I am enamored with Caroline and Jacqueline.

I love biblical names...My son's name is Benjamin, and he's got cousins and second cousins that include some common and uncommon biblical names like Isaac, Matthew, Levi, Jedidiah, Ruth (x2), Rachel and Tierzah.

If our baby is a boy it will be Scotland Heath and if it's a Girl it will be Italy Diane. We already have Israel James, Ireland Jo, and Iceland Brankin. Our middle names meed something to us.

We have the names picked out already, have had for a while just known if there were any more DC what they would be.

However I don't say what they are prior to the birth.

We like Zoe or Cassidy for a girl and Gabriel or Liam for a boy. For middles names we plan on combining our parents' names. My mom is Jane and his is Linda, so Lane. And my dad is James and his is Thomas, so Jamas (pronounced Jamis).

If we have a boy: Hagan Adam (Hagan is my maiden name; still a part of my last name and Adam is my mom's last name

For a Girl: Marley Catherine Carmen or Marley Odell

And Marley is definitely in honor of Bob

Well, my husband like "more conventional" names and I prefer more unique names, but we've been able to decide on the following:

Avery Jane Elizabeth (the middle names are after my grandmother and his great-grandmother respectively)

Luke Henry (the middle name is after his grandfather)

Beatrice is one of my favorite names! Especially the shortened version, Bea (pronounced Bay-a). When I lived in Spain it was a very popular, beautiful name.

My friend did exactly that but had two different spellings: Adyn (the girl that she ended up being) or Aiden (if she had been a he)

We have so many lovely girls names picked out but DP and I have more trouble agreeing on boys. His native language is French and since the letter 'r' is nearly impossible for French speakers to pronounce in English and English speakers to pronounce in French we decided to stay away from it.

Right now our favorites are Ella Ophelia and Etienne Aeneas (but we are sure on which order) We love love love Ophelia but it's a little tricky with nicknames...Ofie?

What about "Lia" as a nickname for "Ophelia"?
