We totally are because we used our 2 favorite names for our first 2. It'll come to us. Sebastian has come up, as well as some others that I can't remember

Was thinking about names before we conceived

Was a long time between babies! LOL
I find it much easier to settle on a boys name than a girls, same as last time. For a boy I like Dean, Damian or Elliot. Girls, my short list is fairly long. I dare say my SO will pare it down quite a lot and then we'll create the combination from what's left. He put my DD's name together from the list and it was a combination I hadn't considered and it was perfect

we don't have a middle name for her yet

Sounds good to me

He's a favorite of warriors, all about triumphing in battle and such.
I'm thinking about names, because a) it took us ages to agree on a name for BeanBean and b) we used our favorite girl's names for BooBah and Bella.
If it's a girl, we'll probably incorporate the name of Mike's aunt who passed away on the day Bella was born. If the baby is a boy born with flaming red curls, I might still be able to talk Mike into Meriadoc as a middle name. I'm hoping. The trouble is, Mike likes the most boring names (it doesn't phase him that something like 30% of men his age are also named "Mike"

) and those irritate me. He's agreed that each child should have a Hebrew name and an English name, but he considers the Hebrew names to be "interesting" so the English names should be "boring." We've agreed on semi-interesting English names which are, for the most part, at the edges of both of our tolerances.

I haven't asked Mike about names yet, though. I doubt he's given the matter any thought.

We are thinking about using Oliver for a middle name if it's a boy in honor of dh's deceased stepfather. Also, it sounds good with the last name.

But that's as far as we've gotten.

Definitely Seth for a boy and middle name Marie for a girl, but we haven't gotten any farther than that!
I love Carlton (my dad, brother, and grandfather's name) and my hubby like Charlie or Guy after his great-grandfather. And we're both favoring Violet for a girl, my grandmother's name. I think I'd call her "V".
We'll see. I've been picking up girl vibes one minute and boy vibes the next!

We have a boy name picked, but we both have a strong feeling that this is a girl... and there we are finding some things to disagree. I'm leaning towards multisyllabic, romantic names. Or maybe a character in a book that is admirable.
He just stares at me in horror that I would inflict a nerd name on the child of two nerds, thus sealing her fate forever. I figure we can't fight destiny, so why not call her Eowyn?

Jenn, I love the name Moira but in Australia it has an unwelcome association with infomercials that my partner wouldn't be able to overcome and I'm not sure if the child could either!! But glad to see it on someone else's list
