DH and I had a conversation about baby names

[Teachermama]

I'm not pregnant yet but we randomly had a conversation about baby names. What does ML think??

Anthony Logan or Logan Anthony for a boy

Natasha Leigh for a girl

We were just shooting the breeze. They probably won't be named anything we talk about.

I dont like them

[Teachermama]

He really likes Logan.

I don't like the girl name. I like Kayleigh Marie. Leigh is a family name.

I like Logan Anthony. I like Leigh, but not Natasha.

[nahoku]

They are fine. Nothing I would have chosen, but they're not weird or terrible or anything. I like Natasha more than Kayleigh.

ETA: actually, not true.  I think Logan was on our boy name list for a while   I do like that name, just not with Anthony for some reason. 

[DotAndBuzz]

I think I prefer Anthony Logan. Natasha Leigh isn't my style, but I don't dislike it.

I think the biggest thing you should think about is whether or not you want to discuss names w/ your parents. I'd strongly recommend against it. The fewer opinions of people who are "invested" in it the better.

Just tell them "this is your grandchild, First Name, Middle Name." Much easier. Trust.

I like both of them. Logan is the name of my friend's nephew and Anthony is my cousin's name.

My first impression is that Anthony is more classic than Logan so in my eyes. They seem like they are from different generations and they don't go well together. Does that make sense?!?!

I like Anthony and Leigh, but don't love the other names and pairings.

And I agree with Dot on name sharing.

[sunny]

I like Logan and Natasha

[Teachermama]

I am NOT having a baby name discussion with my parents. I did one time and almost fought my mom. I told her I didn't like the way our family spelt lee so I wanted it to be Leigh o lord. Never again.

I like Logan and I was thinking Logan Michael.

Excellent! Keep your ILs out of the loop too, and you're good to go.

[Teachermama]

Inlaws are out too. DH's SIL is pregnant and they were taking about names and I wanted to punch someone in the face

They're NMS, but nothing horrible or anything like that. I really don't like the spelling of Kayleigh though.

[mudslide]

Agree w/ Elizabeth ^. I'm not a fan at all of the Leigh spelling. It's horrible in my opinion.

[Teachermama]

Like I said... not pregnant yet

I am sure when I have a little bugger the name will just come to us

[ElizabethBennet]

I talk about names all the time with H, I love talking about names lol. DD's name was always set but I'm relieved she wasn't a boy because I hate the name we had chosen now.

Sometimes your opinion does change when you are pregnant and your faced with the realization that you actually have to give a name to a person lol.

[sookiestjames]

I like Logan. Not a fan of Anthony.

I think that part is the scariest. I cant imagine how we are going to name a kid. We took forever naming our damn cats!

I have a feeling Logan is going to stick. it sucks when you know someone else with a baby that has the same name that you like. Hrumph!

I know exactly what you mean. One of my favorite girl names is the same name is my MIL's and two of my absolute favorite boy names are the same name as my brother and H's brother.

It bums me out that we most likely won't use them.

Wait? You are mad at your in-laws for discussing baby names with your SIL who IS already pregnant? 



What? 

no no no. I witnessed their conversation and DONT want to have my own.

H and I talk about baby names a lot, and I really appreciate how agreeable we seem to be.
The first boy and/or the first girl will be easy, because we both want to go with family names. If we have more than one of either gender, we're probably fucked. Haha.
