Help with Names

[hopeful2012]

We don't know gender yet, but are trying to come up with names. We have a easy/fairly common last name beginning with S if that helps.

Girl:
Mia Grace
Grace Elizabeth
Amelia Grace (probably still call her Mia)

Boy: I need help, we exhausted what we agreed on with #1
We can agree on Liam being okbut I don't know if that is too popular/trendy for me...
I like Nathan but DH vetoed it..and can't come up with any boy names he likes
I feel like all the classic names I like have been "taken" by other family members

I love Amelia Grace, and I don't think Liam is too trendy, it's a nice, traditional name. I think it's more the Irish name thing that's trendy, and it leans more towards the Caedens and Kierans.

[hopeful2012]

Thanks! Middle names with Liam? I am at a loss.

[horseoutside]

I love Amelia Grace too.

Poor Liam - it's such a good, solid name. I hate that it's associated with the Caden/Brayden/Jayden trend. I would absolutely still use it.

If you like Liam but are concerned with the current popularity, maybe Calum would be a good option?

[iheartvino]

I love Amelia Grace, too.

Have you considered Cole or Levi? I really like those names, and I feel like they're solid but not too trendy.

I like Liam, too. Liam Alexander, Liam Reid? I don't know. Would you prefer 1,2 or 3 syllables after Liam? And how many syllables is your last name?

Branching off this, I think Alexander Reid sounds great!

Carter Reid and Cole Alexander are two of my favorite names. Our child won't be named either, but I do love them. I like Alexander Reid, too.

[candreco]

I like Cole too, DS is going to be Colton (my maiden name) but we're leaning towards using Cole as a nn.

Middle names for Liam- I'd go classic, like James. Any family names (first, middle, or last) that would work with Liam?

[baconlettucetomato]

My boy list includes: Asher, Lincoln, Sterling, Alexander, Ezra.

Liam Alexander sounds nice together.

[imoan]

If this was a boy, the two main contenders were Sawyer and Christopher.

[hopeful2012]

Thanks for all the replies - I had to sign off at work but I just got back on to check.

I really like Liam Alexander -our family names don't work too well with Liam for middle names (they also end in -en -an so it makes it sound kind of strange at least to me).

I like some of the others - Benjamin, James, William, Andrew - but they are all over-used in our family/close friends circles.

I kind of like Charles or Henry but I think DH may have vetoed both of them in our discussions for DS's name.

[hopeful2012]

I like the suggestion Lincoln too.

Lincoln is my favorite but DH vetoed it.

Silly husbands. And yes, we are!

[joolz]

Liam Henry is nice! Sometimes vetoed first names can be tossed in as a middle name!

[rosetyler]

I like Amelia Grace a lot!

We're using William Joseph if we have a boy (family names), but going by Liam for short. I like Liam Joseph, too.

[hopeful2012]

rosetyler - like William Joseph a lot. Both are overused in our families (too bad!) otherwise I'd go for William over Liam and I love the name Joseph too.

I like Carl and Andrew,

[emisi]

Have you tried babynamewizard.com? That's where I got the name we're going with. It's actually a pretty cool site.

I love Amelia. Liam is good. And I agree that it sounds good with a classic middle name. What about Gregory, Wesley, Levi, Jacob?
