Names

[jessuhmarie]

Favorite names and/or names you and YH are considering. GO!

[jessuhmarie]

Hermione Rose and Dexter James.

Before we lost our first, we decided on Holden Thomas or Elsie Rose.

Hate? Love? Suggestions?

I'm going to XP this to Baby Names bc it's slow.

We used our favorite name for our son who is Edmund Michael. We really never settled on a girls name but I think our best one was Elaina Rose.

[citybee]

Dean and Greta are our top 2 for now. Still undecided on middle names.

All of our contenders can be seen on our namelist: www.babynames.com/namelist/9803939

Thanks! Malcolm is one of H's choices and Ramona is one of my most favorites. He hates it, though. Maybe I'll get to name a dog Ramona someday haha.

I really love your choice of Hermione. I wish I could be so brave to use something like that!

I was surprised. Our first choice was Elsie, but I just don't feel comfortable naming future kids that (in a weird way). It's really different, but DH is really excited about Hermione.

I can't even begin to say how much I like Eisley.
I also could go on and on about Declan

(DH and I decided on Dexter bc I liked Declan nn Dex and DH didn't. It was our compromise)

[Deleted]

I love Edmund too. It's a family name on my husbands side so I was actually really excited to use it. I get kinda crazy about calling him Edmund because I really don't like Eddie and I think he is still too young for Ed.

I agree with you. I like Edmund and Ed but Ed is a bit older-sounding. I love it!

[Deleted]

It's definitely one of those names that he will have to choose what he wants to go by when he is older. If he wants to go by Eddie that is what he can go by. I will most likely always call him Edmund or Ed though.

I love the name Eisley!

As for us: our first boy will definitely be Anthony (both DH's grandfathers were Anthony) and for a girl it's tough. I used to love Bella but so many ppl are using it. So throwing around Penelope, Priscilla, Leana or Sophia

[cram]

We only have one name we like and it's for a girl, Claire. For a boy we might come up with a combination of our father's names.

[runforcookies]

I like Olivia and Isabella for girls, but I think they are getting pretty popular. For a boy I like Jackson and my husband likes Marshall. I'm not sure how I feel about that one though.

[cactusflower12]

For a boy, Alexander James Jr

Girls:
Elizabeth Mary
Rebecca Mary
Mary is a family name and every girl on my maternal side has it as a middle name (past generations were very catholic, but I still like the tradition)

[scsmith2011]

We haven't talked a lot about it. For a boy we like Zachary Clarke. But I'm not completely sold on Zachary.

For a girl we don't have much consensus. We like some of the same names but DH for some reason likes to use spellings that have a "y" in them e.g. Madelyn as opposed to Madeline. I'm not so much a fan of that. For a girl I'd like to use Blair as the middle name. It's a family name. We'll see what happens.

[reyka]

Our next son will be named Graham Alexander. That's set in stone.

As for girls... sigh. They were a nightmare the first time around, but what makes it worse this time is that we're planning to be Team Green so we definitely need one set in stone. My favorite names at the moment are Astrid, Noelle, Aurora, and Seraphina. I also love Elin if pronounced (incorrectly) as "EEE-lin" lol, but not so keen if it's pronounced "Ellen".

[btay]

Girls -Lacy Ann, Rosalie *insert awesome middle name here*

Boys - Griffin Patrick, Theodore Isaac

[kestock120]

Our son wasn't named until he was about 36 hours old because we hadn't decided yet. Boys names are hard! I love Genevieve Elizabeth for a girl, but I'm not sure if we would actually use it.

ETA: DS's name is Andrew Joseph. I won't even go in to the drama that caused because it's ridiculous.

[emma61210]

Girls - Chloe, Sawyer (my maiden name), and Britten have been talked about

Boys - Brody, Sawyer

we will probably change our minds a million times though!

[sarack]

girls- halle, elle, whitney, lila, emmalee, callie, chloe- i love elise for a middle name. i ahve a ton more that i love but those are the favs

boys- h likes kendrick, me not so much, i like grayson, payton, maxwell, cruz (middle name), emmett, landon, gavin, mason, alton.

Spelling one with a Y makes it a totally different pronunciation. just and FYI but you may already know that. I guess you could still pronounce it Madeline but I don't think any else would pronounce it that way.

[wolfette]

Girls:

Kiera Shea/Faye (pronounced Kee-ra)
Leila Morgan/Quinn

Boys:

Logan Flynn
Nathan Flynn/Rory

[dawn2zzs]

Names we've batted around:

For girls:
Esther Olivia (nn Esti or Olive) - DH's favorite, although I *love* the nn Olive
Eliza Ruth - My favorite (Ruth was my grandmother's name and she just passed away)

For boys:
Elijah Daniel (Daniel is my late grandfather's name)
Zachary Daniel
Noah is a maybe
We had originally agreed on Joshua Daniel but neither of us are sold on it anymore.
I also like Levi but I haven't run that one by H yet...

I did tell DH that I didn't want a "firm" name for the baby until it was born and we could see him/her and see what fit. While I know there is no real comparison, I have had a couple of pets whose names have changed after I got them My dog Zappa's name changed the day I got him because his original name just didn't fit him.

Hermione --- I think hemorrhoids. Sorry. The other ones I like.

I really don't have names for #2. I personally like [glow=red,2,300]Jack[/glow] and [glow=red,2,300]Nel[/glow], but I haven't discussed with DH.

[kristykay123]

Spike and Eva Marie!

[tinamorgan]

Margaret (Maggie) Grace & Charles ??. We can't seem to agree on a middle name for a boy.
