Jane (my mom's name) was our top girl name for each pregnancy. With DS1 and DS2 we were leaning toward Jane Claire. DS3 would have been Jane Beatrice, as Beatrice is my H's grandmother's name, and she won't be with us much longer. It would have meant a lot to her. I would have loved to have been able to name a little girl after my awesome mom and DH's sweet grandma.
N would have been Clara Ruth, for Clara Barton and my grandma who passed shortly after I found out I was pregnant. N is named after another historical figure and my dad and grandfather.

Lucas would have been Vera Ann if he'd been a girl. We won't be reusing it in the future, mostly because I feel like it was "used up" on DS but also because our friends and family uniformly hated it so it's a little ruined for me now.
Am I the only one who has no idea? We talked a little about names before we found out but never agreed on any.
I'll sit with you. We never really talked names before we knew the sex. DH loves Harry after his grandpa but I hate it, I suggested Henry and he didn't mind it but that's all the further we got.
We couldn't agree on a girl name. Thank god DS turned out to be a boy, b/c we both LOVE his name. My top girl name is Fiona, and DH's is Dahlia. Middle names would be family names, we didn't discuss those at all.

I honestly do not know. We were team green and we had a girl name picked out. We were still undecided on a boy's name. So now we really need to figure it out.
My Grace Ann would have been Noah Charles (most likely), if she had been a boy. We'll likely use Noah for a (potential) future son, but middle name will change, as both Ann and Charles are family names on dh's side, and the next kid will have a middle name from my side.
C would have been Lucas Kale (note: that's not the spelling of the middle name but it's the pronunciation. The spelling is a unique, googlable family name).

If DD had been a boy, his name would have been Miles William. By the time DS was born, my DD had a friend at school named Miles and I was sick of hearing that name, so we names DS Eric William. We never had an agreed upon girl name for the second child, but my favorite was Eliza Margaret.
