Our name for a boy has been picked since before the first pregnancy, lol. It would be Alexander.
Girl: Our close second this time was Marina. No idea if we would use it for our third or not. I also love Evangelia (my grandma's name), but DH thinks it is too much and would want to cut it to Eva, which I find too short, lol. We also both love Charlotte, but it is unfortunately not an option because it is impossible to pronounce in greek.
We have a boy name that we didn't use for our first that we still want to use: Garreth Ryan. However, we found out yesterday that we might want to have another girl name in reserves too... I like Addison Taylor. DH likes weird things, like, Ignacio. Blech!
I love Evalynn Renee (Eva for short) for a girl. Lynn is MIL middle name, Renee is my mom's.
I am partial to Jaxson or Jamison Alfred for a boy (Jax or Jay for short). My dad is James, I am (gasp my true name) Jaima, and really like Jamison but it has been used a ton on my facebook wall Alfred is my FIL's name.
I like Alexandra/Alexander but my name is Aly and people call me Al, and I feel like its weird to basically name your kid something with the same nickname as you. H did not think this was a big deal. WWMLD?
I have always wanted a girl named Kate. FOREVER, I have wanted a girl named Kate. DH says no. I'm trying to talk him into Lindsey, but I don't know if that is too 1980. I also love Vivian, but DH is on the fence. We thought Parker or Carter for a while, but now wer are kind of back to the drawing board. DH has told me that he is not talking names until we are in the hospital and Kid 2 is born (so, a while). I will kill him if that is the case. T didn't have a name for more than 24 hours.
Picking out names was such a pain in the ass. H wanted to name DD1 Natalia after his grandmother who he was really close to who died before started dating. I didn't have any family names that I wanted to use for a first name so the second name was tough. Originally it was going to be Sophia, but then he saw it on a list of the most common names and decided we couldn't use it. Apparently he didn't bother reading any more of the list after he saw Sophia because we went with Olivia, which is only slightly less common. So their names are Natalia Ezilda (Ezilda is his mom's name) and Olivia Anna (Anna is my mom's name). My mom was thrilled we used her name, his mom was annoyed. Go figure.

H and I don't really have the same style when it comes to names. Which we need to work on because I'm due with our first in October.
I really like boys names for girls (Evan, Kyle, and we both kind of like Ryan). I like some girl names but I don't like the nicknames (Kimber - Kim, Addison - Addy). He likes more traditional names like Mary, etc.
For boys, he really likes the name Wesley but I'm not super fond of it. I like Parker but he doesn't.
Once we find out the sex, hopefully we'll be able to narrow it down and find some we both like.
next kid will have francis/frances as a middle name (fourth generation middle name on h's side)
girls - no idea. i feel like we had a hard enough time agreeing on C's name. i like mallory, though. h isn't a fan.
boys - no idea. i was stuck on nathan when i was preg, but now i'm not so sure. i know we won't do jr because i don't want my kid to be called DJ. like, ever.
For boys I don't feel wanderlusty as we have gotten to use two names already. Girls I loved the name Pearl. H hated it. So if I could name a baby without his input it would have been Pearl.

H just basically agrees with whatever I say when we have had this conversation. we'll see what happens whenever we actually have a kid.
for girls, I love Jane, Olivia, and Charlotte. I have always LOVED Charlotte and Jane (since I was a kid, for no apparent reason) so that's sort of what I default lean towards. for boys, I have a really hard time. I like James, Daniel, and Benjamin. I also like Ryan and Parker.
