Name poll

[krystee]

1. What names are you considering (or what name did you choose if the baby(ies) is here already?

2. Is there a name you love that your spouse does not?

[linz]

1.  Boys - Caiden Michael and Bryce Jacob
Girls - Aubrey Mae and Lexi Marie

We've had Caiden and Aubrey picked out since we started TTC 2 years ago. So when we found out it was twins we had to just add a name for each. 2nd girl name was the hardest and I still don't love it, but it's growing on me (I do like it but can't think of anything else I'd want). I happened to choose the boys and H picked the girls.

2.  I really wanted Jake for a boy and H said no but liked Jacob as a middle name. I also wanted Hadley for a girl but he said no.


-It's funny typing this out because the only person who knows our names is my BFF. We aren't telling any family until they are born and I'll pry keep what names we don't use a secret for a future baby.

[krystee]

1. For a boy, I like Ben and H likes Jack. Middle name would be Martin for my grandpa. For girls, I liked Kate and he liked Amelia. Then I read a book where a baby was named Mae and asked him if he liked it. Turns out it was his grandma's middle name and he LOVED it. We might go with Mae Elizabeth if it's a girl.

2. I like Elise, which he thinks sounds cold.

I love the name Mae, but we have a short last name so I couldn't use it. My middle name is Rae, which I also like for a girl.

Our last name is an animal, so we can't use any names that are adjectives or anything, so that narrows the field. We really haven't talked about names for this kid yet. Our first daughter is Lily.

[coribelle26]

Lol we intend to use May as a middle name if we have a girl, looks like she will have to share it! The name we've loved forever (years and years) is Amelia but I know it's climbing the charts so we may not be able to use it if someone close to us gets there first. Back-up front runner for a girl is Etta.

Boys names we are less attached to. We like Harrison a lot but H's last name is a common first name, so I feel like we'd be dooming him to a lifetime of people flip flopping them. I also like Desmond a lot but our families hate it so I'm not sure about the hassle, lol.

Our boy will be Julian ...
We don't know.

DH wants David because it is his middle name and his dad's name and then baby would have same initials as him.

I kind of want a middle name that starts with an "A" because then baby's initials would be JAC.  My grandfather is Jack and sad I am not naming baby boy after him.

[coribelle26]

Julian is actually the name I love that H hates! I think it's a great name.

He loves Alexander but it is just way too common among people we know for me. He's weird, he doesn't mind Alexander when there are 5 others that we see regularly, but he vetoed Everett because his former coworker that he talks to once a year named his kid we've never met Everett. Wut.

[MrsAggie]

This peanut will be Weston George. I really liked the name Jackson but H refused. Pretty much every single boy name I liked, H hated. It's a miracle we agreed on a boy name. Heaven forbid we have a second boy

[MrsAggie]

linz Our pup's name is Aubree and Lexi has been my front runner for a girl's name for years. I like your choices

[aliciar6]

1) Justin Robert or Hailey Marie.
2) we had a lot of names one of uliked but we couldn't agree on, I'm surprised we did manage to agree, let alone when we started trying to find a second because we had no idea at first if we'd end up with twins or not. Our runner up names were Brantley Dean and Heidi Ann...I was not on board with Heidi Ann and H is not all that in love with the name Brantley. He suggested Bradley, but my cat back home is named that.

[starburst604]

A girl will be Lucy Marie (named for my nana and his mom, respectively).

Boy will be Griffin Jacob. We had a tough time with boy names, he is SO picky. He really wanted Carter, but I refused based on the fact that we live in the Boston area and everyone, including him, would say it "Cahdah". Griffin was his next choice and he basically refused to consider any other names. I don't know what we'll do if we end up having a second boy!

[nmosrob]

We used to talk names a lot, but stopped when nothing was happening. We both want to name after our grandparents, I think he wants his grandfather's actual name Vincent, but in my family we just use the first letter, so I want something starting with an E or H.

I really liked the name Everett, I feel it covers the E for my grandma and V for dh's grandpa, but he doesn't like the name.

[linz]

I Love all these names! I have a hard time not changing what we picked.  I also wanted Ben because both of us have a Grandpa named Bernard but H said no.

And Mae is after my grandma. I'm surprised so many on here have that also, but I think its become more common.

[krystee]

It is funny to see so many overlapping names on these lists! Everett is on our list too because it's H's grandpa's name.

I have never known a Mae or Everett in real life, so it's interesting to see what is GBCN popular compared to what is popular in my circle of friends.

I really like Evan too, but a close friend used that one.

[starburst604]

There will likely not be many Everetts in my area - it's the name of a nearby city that doesn't have a great reputation. Too bad, it's actually a great name but the association isn't.

Evan! That covers our E and V. I really like that name. So far dh likes it, too.

I told dh we would just have to get a name book or something like that for ideas, but all you ladies are giving me great names. I'm going to be a name thief!

[anna7602]

New baby boy is San.tiago. We picked the name in 2000, before we were even engaged and long, long before we were TTC. Our DD was born in 2008. I am so very glad we finally got to use this spectacular name we've both loved forever. 

The girl names were the ones we couldn't agree on this time around. DH nixed Flora, a name I adore. He also dislikes Mercedes, although I get his reasoning for that one and think most people on the boards probably agree with him. I think the nickname Merche is amazing, though. 

ETA: Oh, almost forgot. I couldn't get DH on board with the girl name Mireille, either.
