Due in December 2014 - Jan/Feb 2015

Abifasc - totally no offense :-) We are on the fence with it, so it's good to hear all the good and the bad! One of my friends also mentioned that as a possible tease by kids. I obviously don't want to give my kids names that are prone to being teased, but at the same time, I want to teach my kids to let that stuff roll off their backs - easier said than done! My name is Shiloh, which I've always liked and gotten many compliments on, but in 7th grade there was a mean girl who always called me Shi-hoe...not the nicest, and it definitely wasn't something I liked, however I got past it :-) I do really like the name Lawton though, very cute! But one of my strange things is that I don't want first and last names that rhyme, so with a last name of Johnson, that rules out a ton of really cute boy names!!

Rosie, I absolutely LOVE the name Declan and have it on my current list :-) I never thought of using Dex as the nickname, but think that's wonderful. I love the nickname Dex, but most of my family and friends don't like the full name Dexter because of the TV show, even though that wouldn't bother me. But to get a cool name like Declan, plus a fun nickname like Dex...I like the way you think!

Haha crazycat! That's funny about Dexter. I do call Declan, dexter a lot. He was named before I had ever seen the show though...we just started watching it a few months ago. I prefer Declan over Dexter as a name and we get a lot of compliments on it...it's a good name to have on your list!

I feel like I am in a panic. I can't stop thinking about how I really don't want to reuse all my old boy clothes again. I am so sick of them. I'm so tired of boy everything. I am literally freaking out that this is another boy. But it has to be...I really feel it isn't a girl. I'm so sad.

Congratulations Oncue on your baby boy. I'm still in disbelieved that I'm finally going to have my boy. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night (3:00 a.m.) and could not go back to sleep until 5:00 a.m. I guess I'm just too excited.

Sorry you're feeling so stressed Yahmama I would definitely get my blood pressure checked by someone else Just for peace of mind anyway You shouldn't have that worry hanging over you Hope you get it sorted x
Lilithwuser Fantastic news! I think it's safe to say that it's a girl! It must feel great to have it totally confirmed again!! Have you bought much pink yet?
Rosie I totally get how you feel I feel the exact same I would love some pink in my house too and like you I'm convinced I'm having another boy Which Obviously I will absolutely
adore as well I would love a fourth boy too but a few pink clothes in the house would be lovely! My ds3's clothes are getting so worn looking now(poor guy has ALL hand me downs!) that if we do have another boy I'll have to buy more clothes anyway! My sister was here this evening and said I bet it's another boy! So Rosie let's hope our intuition is wrong and we get our pinkies!
Babyb5 hope you get somsleep tonight It is great excitement though isn't it!
Oh and names on my list are Charlie, Freddie, Seanie, James, Lily, Mia, Ellie and Charlotte

Thanks so much girls! It's been so nice to share the news with you all. We still haven't told anyone else. Just don't know if I expect anyone else to get as excited haha!
Rosie I think you will have a girl, I know it's easy to go through ups and downs thinking it is a boy/girl then it's not etc, but u have a really good chance!
Lilith so glad everything is confirmed (I had the panorama too so I'm glad it seems to have a good accuracy!) I love sewing, just never seem to find enough time to do it as much as id like to.
Yahmama gosh I feel ur pain with the whole selling a house. We did it just a few months ago, and it was so hard trying to keep the house spotless with two kids who could trash it in 30 seconds. Fingers crossed you have some good news very soon!
Crazycat I think tetlow is cute. Very unique! My DH likes Lachlan and even tho I think it's nice, my ex is called Lachlan and that's what completely puts me off the name! I will prob get a baby name book to look some up and see what they mean, DH and I never really agree with names either! X

Oh Lilith, Congrats on the confirmation.

I think that I will be able to talk DH into finding out the sex this time. I keep thinking that I have a better shot at having a girl this time as I ever had with the boys because my lifestyle was so different and I did all that sway stuff, but I am scared that that way of thinking will get my hopes up. I feel like I only get something I've hoped for when I absolutely believe that I won't get it. I have that kinda luck. So I am trying to tell myself that it really probably is a boy. I feel like I will really need to know in advance. I don't think I will be super crazy upset if it is a boy but I will be a little disappointed.

DS1 is Jacob Peter (we loved his first name and his middle honors my great grandfather and DH's grandfather - so both families at once!).
DS2 is Derek Logan (no family names here but it fit in nicely with Jacob's and we loved the names)

We have not really started in on the names yet this go around although i do keep a running list in my phone. I really like Nathan for a boy but haven't thought of a middle with it. Might let DH decide what to do with that one. I want to somehow use one of my mom's names in a girl combination (her name was Kirsten Evelyn but she went by Kristie). If I use her middle it would also honor my grandmother and I love that idea. I have lots of different ideas to show DH for that.

Crazycat - I like the idea of Tetlow especially if you are thinking middle name! other kids won't necessarily know LOs middle so no teasing and it is unique!

I don't think we will be able to focus on names until I am feeling better though. I have been managing at work but I am wiped out after so it has put a lot of pressure on DH. He is really great about helping but he is under job stress right now and summer is always really busy for us anyways. I hope things let up in a few weeks! My first two pregnancies were walks in the park compared to this. I almost hope it is a girl just so that maybe we will feel 100% done after this (I never say one way or another if we would like a next one until the baby I am due with is here. You just never know how that one will change the dynamics or if it will be an easy transition or not. it's different for everyone).

Alright...after not having much to say I just wrote a novel!

I haven't been in here for a while and haven't read everything but congrats Lilith! I'm so excited for you.

Rosie, I feel the same. I'm pretty definite I'm having another boy and I'm crushed. Probably stupid at only 6 weeks but I just have a feeling. With our m/c I was so sure it was a girl and really feel like I lost my daughter. 😞

Yahmama, I agree with the others, I'd make sure your BP is monitored and not just put down to the stress of the house. I always have low BP and even lower in PG so I don't have any advice re high BP but just make sure they get an eye on it. 😊

Crazycat, our boys are Nathan, Adam, Joshua, Zachary, Mitchell and Cayden. I do wish we had gone for less common, less "boring" names but you should have heard our families outrage over Cayden!! 😜

Love hearing everyone's names! I love family names- makes such a special connection that nothing else can compare and to carry on memories. I really like Declan too- have a friend I met whose son is named that and I'd never heard of it before! The best I can come up with for a boy at the moment is Quinn since it's our #5- is that cheesy? DH wants to use it for boy or girl but I love Natalie and can't imagine not using it if this is a girl. I just think of the TV show Glee for a girl with that name.

I don't think your boy names are boring! They're all great and I wanted Nathan with my oldest but a friend used it first :/
I'll definitely call my Dr back about my bp- got my dad's monitor and when I checked it was 136/93- eek. Too bad it's the weekend and I'll have to wait till Mon.

I love hearing names! My hubby and I enjoy unique names too. Our daughter's name is Diella. We actually found the name Dielle but hubby liked an a at the end and there you have it. She's Diella Emmary (Emma was my great grandmas name and I wanted an element of it in there somewhere). Boy names are SO much harder. For the longest time we were dead set on Leonidas (Leo for short) but it's just too big of a name for our measly last name- lol. Needles to say we are working on it. If we had another girl she probably would have been Ophelia Scarlet (Effie for short).

MumofSix, I love those names, especially Zachary :-) They are more traditional, but not in a super common way - very strong names!

Yahmama, I think Quinn would be cute for a boy or girl, but if you have your heart set on Natalie, you gotta go with that!

Lala, your hubby sounds like mine. He wanted our girl name to be girly and loved most names that ended with an a for that extra girly flare :-) I absolutely love Ophelia!! That may have to be added to my list, if you don't mind :-) Scarlet is another I love, but we have a friend who just used it for her daughter. If we had a girl, I'd love to try and find a name that could somehow honor my mother, but I just really don't care for her name, lol. It's Carol Bernice, which neither really do much for me. I've thought about doing Coral as a play on Carol, but I don't really love that either, and my hubby is pretty against naming a child a "thing". Oh, and Leonidas is pretty freaking cool! I can imagine he would grow up to be quite the ladies man :-) I agree though that boy names are really tough!!

crazycat- yeah he liked really romantic girly names. Luckily I did too- haha. What about Bernadette or Bernadine instead of Bernice? Bernie for short? Or you could use one of those variations as a middle name. Agh- names are hard...you want them meaningful and true to who you are as family but not so out of the norm that your kid hates you for it. I'm totally blanking on that boy name you mentioned crazycat but I too have a hard time with the word tit coming to mind- but if you start feeling uneasy perhaps you could use as the mn? You could use Bruce as a first or Bryce or another variation as a take on it. Just shots in the dark. Lol

And I like Quinn a lot but for me it's more feminine sounding. I thought about it for our first daughter.

Haha, Yahmama, I never worry about what other people are naming their kids around me. If I want it, I'm taking it!

Having said that, I'm an insane person who blacklists all baby names on the Social Security's top 100 baby names for the past 5 years. I have a top 5 name for the year I was born and I HATE it!

I haven't really bought much for my DD, except for an awesome wrap and a diaper bag (black backpack type that DH won't complain about carrying.) DH and I haven't even started the name discussion yet, but I'm dreading it. We always fight until the baby's born, and his choices suck.

I like Tierra. We're half Latino, and I'm full hippie, so having a Spanish name that means "earth" and isn't common sounded crazy cool to me! I also like Rhiannon, Leiana, Illari, and Kaya.
I also like Elysia for a middle name. It's a derivative of the Elysian fields that are part of the afterlife in Roman Mythology. If I pair Elysia as a middle name with Tierra, her name would literally be "heaven and earth," albeit a pagan heaven, and a hispanic earth :)

He likes a lot of hispanic names that sound great in Spanish, but lame in English. I'm hoping he'll give in and let me name her, but I also feel kind of bad because I named the boys.

What are your boy names Lilith? I love all of those girl names!

we haven't discussed names. We talked about girl names BEFORE we got preggo. I said I liked Charlie for a girl or boy -- he thought that was funny. Short for Charlotte. He likes Catherine, but that's my bosses name...um, that would be weird. I tried to throw in a few boys names and he wouldn't hear of it because we were "thinking positive" before conception (lol).

DS1 is Alexander Maurice Nicolaas. I wanted Alexander for my great-grandfather (and bc I like the name), DH wanted it for Alexander the Great (history buff). Middles names are my father and his - in alphabetical order to avoid whining from my dad.

DS2 is Thomas Theodore Roland. I've always loved Thomas but DH hated it. We were due in October and I thought he was going to born 10/10/10 and since DH is a computer geek, he wanted to find out if that meant anything in binary. he just kept adding 1010 until it came up to a letter -- which was T. He then agreed because of Thomas Payne (I believe). Theodore is a masculine version of his mother's name (Theadora) and Roland is my grandfather.

We are running out of male family names to use!!!

For a girl, besides Charlotte, I like Natalie, Annalise, Anita, Lorna .... lots to choose from. I like Delilah (but we have a D last name and I refuse to name our child a D name -- DD is just bad for initials IMO). If I'd go with D, I'd probably name my next boy Dante. I love that name!

Anyway, had my first prenatal appointment today. All seemed to go well. She did not try to find the HB with the Doppler (good plan, since I can't find it with mine yet, lol). I have to figure something out to get my weight under control. I've gained back almost all the weight I lost from dieting and then LE. So on Monday I will start making better choices. Fruit, veggies, whole grains....you know, all the boring stuff.

Angie

as a random observation -- I haven't been paying attention to my ticker! Almost 25% complete. Awesome! Almost 1/4th of the way there :P

Angie

I didn't pick out any boy names this time around, since I knew she was a girl from so early on. The leftover names from the boys were Tiernan, Kieran, Valkyr (Val for short,) Aurelio, Locke, and a few others Ive forgotten.

Lilith- I meant what are you current boy's names:-)

Lillithwiser and Yahmama Let me know the minute ye start selling crochet hats and I'll buy one straight away I love crochet hats!
Ladies Ye've given me great ideas for names to add to my list Thanks And all your kids have such beautiful names x

Rosie and Mum: I was convinced full-on that my third was a boy. No doubts in my mind. You can actually go back and look at a thread I wrote back then because I was so sure in my gut that it was a boy. Not so much. Those feelings don't mean anything. Don't let them take up too much space in your heads :)

As for names. We are kinda avoiding the discussion because we also have no boys names left that we agree on. It's not that we fight, we just have SUCH different tastes. With our first, my husband wanted his middle name from his family, which actually worked out pretty well because we shared a family connection. Then we made list after list to try to find a common denominator. We finally did and we got such great reception on the name from everyone, saying how they hadn't heard it much and that it was a great name...and apparently everyone got that memo and it SHOT up the popularity lists like a rocket :rolleyes: But, it suits him and that is what matters. His name is Liam Thomas.

Our second, I named. Lol. I always wanted to name a child after my paternal grandma. She is seriously the most awesome person you will ever meet. And after we used Thomas after hubby's family, I thought it was pretty fair to use a name from my family. And hubby liked the name anyway. And then I did the whole thing where my current favorite name I just kept badgering him about. It didn't hurt that we had tons of miscarriage issues before him and I think hubby just wanted a name so we could start connecting to him. And I wanted a less popular name, after what happened with our first. His name is Kieran Patrick. Suits him incredibly well.

And hubby picked our daughters first name, but it was out of the blue. It has strong family connections to MY family, which is funny that we never discussed it in previous girl name discussions. He just came out with it at the beginning of the pregnancy and we really never considered another name at all (for a girl). I picked her middle name, since hubby didn't care and had no female names he wanted to use from his family. I have a very family oriented name, so I wanted to do that with her as well. Her name is Josephine AnnaLee. We call her Jo, which was my maternal grandmas name, who passed many years before I was born. I truthfully love the name and can't envision her being anything else.

We currently have the following names on our list, but nothing for sure. A boy will have the middle name Robert 100%. After my friend who died. Currently we are considering Sawyer Robert. For a girl, I really want Clara, as it means the same thing as Robert (bright). But hubby wants Eliza. We might end up with something not on those lists at all. I still have hope that hubby has a secret cool name up his sleeve, like with Jo. :)

I've been pretty ill the last few days.... Hope it passes soon.
I reply via the tel. Find it hard to type long messages. (And stupid autocorrect)


We haven't got the names discission yet. With 3boys I find it hard to go through the boy sections again. I'd rather not post them openly. If anyone is curious they can send me a PM.

Hello everybody
we were on holiday for two weeks and this threat was really busy....
I congrat everybody for positive news and my thoughts are with the ones who were not feeling good.
I did the prendia blood test beginning of July and the secretary of my doctor told me it will take three weeks until we have the results. My doctor knew how worried I was about the Health and gender of the baby that he called me Saturday morning after one week when the whole family was sitting in the Taxi going to the airport. His voice was so calm that I was expecting Bad news. But we will be having a healthy girl!!! We were all crying in the car. I still can't belive it and have to see it as well at the 20 weeks Scan. Will really my dream come true?
Did you ever hear from somebody who had a wrong gender result from the blood test?
It is great that you all have so great name ideas but for me still everything is unrealistic that I can't think of names or buying baby cloth. I am still afraid of loosing the baby. I hope it will change when I can feel the baby movements....

Congrats Castch!!!

Aw congrats castch!

Congratulations castch.

Lovely names and stories from all of u. Us being Indian, our names are completely different and wouldn't make much sense to any of u lol. I love the idea of naming the child after someone in the family because traditionaly, we just use dad's first name as middle name.

This tiem however, hubby and I agreed to have his grandma s name as baby's middle name since we were both super close to her

Yah!!!! Catsch love all your names x

Congratulations catsch!!

My sons name George. We chose it years and years ago and knew it'd be our sons name if we had one.
We have picked our names for this time I think x

Congrats catsch!

I have an ultrasound date to find out the gender! August 18...I'll be 15w1d. Anyone else finding out soon?

Abi I think a few of us ladies have our nt scans August 18th. Those obviously aren't for gender reveal though. Good luck!! Lots of scans that day including mine.

Wow! Gender scan appts already!?! That is amazing (although I am quite a bit behind the ladies in here). But good luck. August 18th is right around the corner.

I have my NT scan on the 4th of September. Ill be 12+3 or so. I'm going to attempt to NOT see a nub. Lol. I'd still really like to try team green. I am so wishy washy on it.

I hope everyone is feeling well today. I am 7 weeks today and for some reason, that is a big deal. I've miscarried a lot before 7 weeks and only once after 7 weeks, so this milestone is a big one for me!

Yay for 7 weeks hotdogz! This baby is surely a sticky one for you!

I probably won't be on for a few days after today. We are going on a small vacation and I won't want to be on the internet other than to look up tasty restaurants haha.

Good luck for waiting in gender! I'm scared. Lots of girls around je again. And 2 ladies pg couple weeks further a long. I'm pretty sure they get girls. And mine must be a boy again then. I wish I was further and Could enjoy more. Just feeling the baby!.

I have scan tomorrow! 10wk6days. I'm afraid there is already a slight rise. I really want an unreliable girl nub so there is a 50-50 chance!!!!

Hotdogz! Hooray for your sticky bean.

Congrats Catch and hooray for 7 weeks Hotdog!

Abi, I also have an NT scan on August 18th!

Good luck to all of us getting scans the 18th! I hope you all share pics!

FutureMiniMe, are you finding out? I'm not sure if I'm the only one not team green.

Wow Aug 18th is a popular day Can't wait for updates!! Hope ye all get your desired gender x
Hotdogz Great to get to 7 weeks Congrats!
Best of luck tomorrow Sweetdream Bet it's a girl! Keep us posted Hun
Rosie enjoy the vacation Hope you get to eat lots of lovely food and get a chance to put your feet up!
I have my gender scan on 23 Aug and the wait is nearly unbearable! I'll be 19 + 2 so hopefully we'll get a good look in between baby's legs!!
