Whose got names picked out already?

[momz3]

We already have ours...have had them for nearly a yr lol

Girl: Jordyn Tyanna
Boy: Brendan Xavion Joseph

Feel free to share your names!

[JeDeeLenae]

No names picked out yet... we only know it will be a J name. :)

[Changed]

I do. I feel sure that this baby is a girl and I've known her name for a while now. It's odd because I'm not one of those people who would ever say that... it sounds fruity. We're not telling anyone until the birth though.

I know how you feel - I'm a completely pragmatic and non-spiritual person, yet I dreamt of my daughter and her name when I first met my husband, and she was born in Dec of 2004 almost exactly as I dreamt. So I knew her name for 5 years before she was born.

This one will prove to be more challenging, DH and I each have our girl names we favour but we cannot agree at all on a boy's name.

We aren't telling anyone (irl) either...it seems like the moment I say "Pregnant" Everyones like "I have the perfect name for you" and they have problems with the ones you choose...my mom especially lol. She tried forever to change Aja's name to Simone...\
then you have the relatives that didn't have their sex of choice like my SIL who dreamt of a girl and wanted us to use the name she wanted if he had a girl.

ugh.

[TaraRae82]

We've had our first born names for a long time. They're a combination of our deceased Grandfather's middle names.

That would just be mean to do to twins!! LOL

I didn't get the message! I'll have to go check it. Which kitty?

[nhapmom]

i dont know yet. i have been trying not to overwhelm him and every day there is something else that comes up with teh birth so this hasnt been on our list of thigns to talk about yet...

right now though, if its a girl, i want an Abaigail...not sure about middle name

for a boy, i thought i wanted an Isaac but now im thinking of Lazarus. the name has history for both of us. middle names for either are totally unknown

[celtic_angel]

we've had ours picked out for 3 years~~ pretty much since we started TTC.
i'm sort of upset right now though...i made the mistake of telling my mom when she asked and while she loves or girl name, she actally made gagging noises at our choice for a boy :angry
my mom and i are very close and that was unusually mean for her, so it really hurt me(1st trimester hormones didn't help...)
so, now i'm not telling anyone else~~
my best friend is due to have a baby girl in 3 weeks and still doesn't have a name for her, so as she pointed out "if you love it, screw everyone else" :D

[SamsMuffin]

We've had ours picked out before we even conceived. I think we started discussing it after dd was born :D

If it's a boy it will be Samuel. No middle name. He will be fifth generation for my husband's side of the family, so he will get a cool "V" at the end of his name :thumb

If it's a girl it will be Charlotte. We haven't decided on a middle name yet. We're currently considering either Rose, May, or Luthien.

I have a bit of a feeling that it's going to be a boy. That will be great, but at the same time I would love to have another girl!

[DreamsInDigital]

We are working on narrowing it down. I had a dream that I had boy/girl twins. If it comes true, their names will be Willow Rebecca and Sage Connor. If it's just a singleton, I'm not 100% decided yet.

[Changed]

That would be a cute set of names... I mean, they'd go good together. :lol

[DreamsInDigital]

I know, they go together so well!

[77sugaree]

For a girl: Eden Deniza
Boy: Absolutely no idea. DS1 wasn't named until he was 2 days old. :o
I love the name Jasper Sage but DP can't stand any name I come up with. His suggestions were Larry, Bill, Jared or Marcus which I can't stand.

I really hope it's a girl.

[CindyCindy]

We had two girl names picked out a one boy name for our last pregnancy. So we had a girl and used one, now we still have our names picked out! I always tell people what names we have and everybody always hates them, and I just don't really care!!! Everybody is going to know someone with that name who they didn't like and/or think they name is too odd (at least in our case) and so I just ignore all opinions about our names.

[Tiger Lily]

We have a boy name picked out, but if this baby turns out to be a girl, I have no idea.

With my last baby, we had a girl name all picked out. Then we found out for sure it was a girl and suddenly it was like, "Oh. . . that isn't her name." I had a very definite name in mind for her, kept thinking of her as that name, had dreams about it, etc. DH felt the same way, and that's the name she is today! We always joke about it and say that she chose her own name. . . but considering her very strong personality, it's not really a joke!

lol we changed our minds alot with our last baby. Her middle name didn't come until 3 weeks before her due date

[JBaxter]

We got some maybe's Jackson Charles for a boy ( after my grandfather and DH's grand father) the girls name is alittle more difficult maybe Naomi Faith , Caroline Margaret or Rachel Hope.


Everything is subject to change over the next few months

[JoyfullySubversive]

This one is Raven Josephine.

[mkmb129]

Names?! No way! We're still in the "let's not talk about it at all" stage :lol Dh is not terribly thrilled as of yet.. :wink

I love both the names Willow and Sage! My husband though, sadly vetoed them.

I want a little girl, but I have a strong feeling it'll be a boy...

Rowan Javier - Javier being my husbands middle name, and Rowan just being awesome with its symbolism and history.

If I'm wrong though, she'll be Emma Hope, after two of my great grandmothers, and the little sister I never had (my mom always wanted 2 of each, but got 2 boys and me. Emma Hope was the other planned name, so when I was twelve I promised her that would be my first girl's name no matter what - it was even one of my conditions in marrying my husband!)

[octobermom]

We are much more 'Traditional"

Boy Joshua Martin
Girl Margaret Victoria

[audsma]

We haven't discussed it yet, my dh and I, but I'm finding that I'm gravitating back toward the names that he didn't like from when I was pregnant with dd. That tells me that I'm still in the unreality stage.

With a 5 year old, however, I know she'll want some input, especially since it's kind of a family tradition on my dh's side to let the older child choose a portion (or all) of the name. I'll need to head that one off at the pass, because I know that's a story she'll hear many times between now and October.

If dd had to choose for a girl, it would be Allie. I would love to go with Eavan, Bronte, or Aisling for a girl. I do know, however, that I really want an "L" name if it's a girl, and have even been trying out boys with L's too.

Soon enough the negotiations will start...

[ladybugmomto2]

For a girl, it's Olivia..no questions..LOL
For a boy, it'll be something ending in "n" and there is a loooong list!

[ledzepplon]

Names?! No way! We're still in the "let's not talk about it at all" stage :lol Dh is not terribly thrilled as of yet.. :wink
:hug

Girl Margaret Victoria

So pretty!

I don't really have names picked out yet. I like classic but not-so-common names, like Josephine (which someone mentioned), Paulina, Simone, Renata, and Irina. For boys I'm less sure--perhaps Thomas or Paul (both family names) or something more unusual like Leland. Boy names are harder for me than girl names.

[triple07]

Now for a girl it has changed to Aurelia Yvonne Irene (or Clairene instead of Irene...)

[elspethshimon]

I have several names picked out. I want to wait until I see the baby and s/he
"tells" me his or her name.

Girls: Olivia, Emily, Molly, Elspeth

Boys: Ezekiel, Jack, Benjamin, Zachary

[lyle_kate]

Here's our tentative list:

Girl: Samantha, Iris or Caroline
Boy: Samuel, Henry or Patrick

[Mrsboyko]

So far I like Valerie, Siri, and Janae for girls. Boy names, I only have one so far: Devon.

[DawnLasp]

We are working on narrowing it down. I had a dream that I had boy/girl twins. If it comes true, their names will be Willow Rebecca and Sage Connor. If it's just a singleton, I'm not 100% decided yet.

Me and my husband picked Sage for a possible boys name from a baby name book last night.

[lee1203]

Would now be a bad time to mention that to me Sage seems like a girl's name? :bag:

We've not "seriously" discussed names yet, although there is a boy's name that we can actually both agree on. It's a little more popular than I'd like, but the husbandperson has strong reasons for liking it, so I can certainly compromise on that. For a little girl, we've got nothing. He has emphatically shot down every name I've suggested. :p

[Down2Earth]

Last year I had decided that for a boy it would be Thomas Gideon or Henry something. Or if ended up with 2 boys than both! But SIL is having her baby 4 mos before me and she is naming her son Henry Lucius. For a girl I like Evelyn something or Amelia Rose. I told my DH we needed some backups in case the baby doesn't look like the name we picked out. He doesn't get that. :eyesroll

Can I just say that this scares the crap out of me!? We have definite names and no backups because we want to use the middle names of our deceased Grandfathers. I really love those names and we've had them picked out for years now. I really, really hope the baby looks like the name we have.

[octobermom]

With a 5 year old, however, I know she'll want some input,
My 5 year old says Eric if its a boy and Arial if its a girl :wink ... No were not influenced by Disney in the least :lol

I just got shivers! I had the same experience with my second son (dreams and "knowing" him) and with this new baby coming as well (even stronger!). I know her name is Silver, but we don't have her middle name yet!

Suggestions anyone?

[PrairieBohemian]

I think Sage is 100% unisex.

[Changed]

My 3 yo calls this baby Mike Wazowski.

[TaraRae82]

^:lol TOO funny!

laughup:rotflmao:lol:laugh:

[iamleabee]

i think sage is unisex too. and such a beautiful name!

[casemnor]

We're thinking for girl: Lilith Patricia. Boys names we're still tossing around include: Angus, Callum, or August.

My husband would love a second baby girl, I am indifferent and unlike my first have no set idea of this baby's flavor. I'm thinking boy more often than girl.

[Mamatolea]

Ethan Chad

or

Emily Claire

Either way, this is Baby E!

[Bee21]

I like Ruby, Evelyn and Anneliese for a girl.

For a boy, I like Henry (my gpa's name) but I'm not sold on it as a first name, and neither is DH. I'll just hope it's a girl so I don't have to worry about boys names.

My thoughts exactally lol! I have NO idea for a lil boy ATM. If its a boy DH wants to name him after his three best friends, Jeffery Brandon Nicholas. But coming from a person who doesnt like "common" names (Im just weird like that I guess...) I want something different than that...

[mkmb129]

No clue for names. I like Cayden for a boy, middle name will be James if it's a boy. For a girl I love Cadence, Tatum, and Lily (may be spelled Lillie after dh's family) and middle name will for sure be Joann or Joanna if it's a girl after my grandmother.

Oooh, I love the name Tatum! soo pretty

[mommysaurus]

We've just started to talk about names. For a girl we like Octavia Ciena, but DP also like Alexandria or Victoria. Nothing is set in stone just yet. for a boy we have nothing!

[nccrunchymama]

Not a clue. It's starting to bug me. Dd was mostly named the day we found out we were pregnant. We just knew she was a girl and this was her name. This time, I don't have a single name picked out. I know we've got a few months to decide, but still....

[weddell]

Dh doesn't want to discuss names until we know if it's a boy or a girl. Our names both start with M so we didn't want to give dd an M name. With a second child though it wouldn't be a family trend so M names are back on the list.

For girls I like Margaret and calling her Maisy. It's a Scottish nickname for Margaret and DH and his brother have Scottish names and so does DD. I like Victoria, Josephine, Charlotte, and some others as well. I like classic names, but I don't want anything that is too popular.

Boys are hard. I like Sebastian, Ian, Henry and probably some others.

When we were choosing DD's name we didn't want anything too popular so we took our names lists and DH made an excel spreadsheet with the name data from the SSA (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/) that showed how the popularity of the name had changed over time. We eliminated names that were too popular or that looked like they were going to become super popular in the next few years.

Ooooh, for boys I LOVE the name Sebastian too! Im another "doesnt like popular" names...

[Alison]

We don't have any names picked. But, I've always found the name wizard to be lots of fun. anyone tried their names in it yet?

http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html

Sadly, I didn't discover it before DS came along, or I might have changed the order of his names around--his first name is quite popular, while his second name has never been in the top 1000 in the US (not that we're in the US, but that's what the name wizard tracks!).

I just checked Sage in it, and there have always been more boy than girl Sages so far, and it peaked in popularity just a year or two ago.

[Baby_Cakes]

LOVE the baby name wizard!

Another good website (b/c you can construct the whole name and see it in front of you) is :

http://baby-names.emedtv.com/

I've been tinkering with this for DAYS. Seriously. And coming up with funny ones is half the fun, lol...

[Skrimpy]

We had a boy name and a girl name picked while we were counting down to TTC lol! I'm super happy with both. But we're keeping them a secret for now, and even if we find out gender the names will be secret until after baby makes his/her appearance!

[barefootbabies]

Ooooh, for boys I LOVE the name Sebastian too! Im another "doesnt like popular" names...

My SIL just had a baby in January and named him Sebastien. They live in Peru, but we were lucky enough to be there when he was born (and 2 weeks later when she finally decided on his name!) A lot of people seemed to crinkle their noses at the name, but I love it! Plus, he is just so cute :love

We have had our names picked out since before we got pg. Its sort of a hobby of mine, I love thinking of new names :wink It this baby is a girl (which *everyone* except us hopes it is, because G-d forbid anyone have 3 boys :eyesroll) her name will be Mya Isabella. If the baby is a boy (which I kind of think it is) his name will be Haven Xavier. If we have same-sex twins, I have no idea!!

[lovemysunshine]

My 3 yo calls this baby Mike Wazowski.

:laugh: I cannot stop laughing about that!

Aww my LO is an Xavier too. Love that name as well. He is Demetrius (Petri) Xavier Francescko... LoL. I think it is REDICULOUS that people think that having all boys is just a curse!!! I LOVE lil boys, they are sweet and soo funny! And then I love buying clothes for lil girls lol. Ive already started and dont know the gender yet! :lol

[birthdancedoula]

Girl: 99.9% sure she'll be Iris (no middle name yet)
Boy: Dh likes Ocean but I'm not sold. After having 3 boys already, honestly I haven't entertained the idea of this babe being a boy.:o

[Bee21]

Question- Does anyone think Camryn would be okay for a girl? I know Cameron is a boy's name, and I don't want her to be confused for a boy.

[birthdancedoula]

I think its great for a girl! Actually I was watching one of those Learning Channel baby shows today:bag: (cause I'm at home sick w/ the flu and can't stay on MDC all day) and one of the babes was named Cameron and she was a girl. I actually thought it was pretty cute.
