I'm a bit of a "name obsesser" lol. Just curious if anyone else has already started thinking about it. So far I think this one will be Sage if it's a boy or Emery for a girl (but knowing us that may change!)

I am a name obsesser as well! I'm not even pregnant yet and in the last week or so we have been talking about names a lot. I *think* we have them picked. Blake for a boy and Adaleigh for a girl.
I really like your names! :)
Yes!
I can only think of boy names too lol
I've had a girl name picked for years :( Hope it gets used one day :)
I love Felicity or Maia for a girl and DH loves Nathaniel for a boy which I quite like. It is similar to DS2's name though - Ethan - which I'm not sure's a good idea!

I'm the same - and not even pregnant lol!
I try to keep a lid on it though. I'm afraid of jinxing it by talking about girl names and boy names i can't really find any I like, other than Jasper.
I like all the names so far! Always love seeing what others are naming their babies:wink:
Its hard picking names,so far I like rose,Florence,Scarlett,Amelia,:.)
These are my names a rough list... Opinions are appreciated! :)
Boys... Lennon, Avery, Meeka, Finn,
Girls... Harlow, Vienna, hazel, Zola, Harper.... wich I think Ezra and Zola would go really well together since the will be pretty close in age..
My favorites from your list are Finn and Harper although I kinda like them all :) there are only 2 that aren't my style. The only Avery's that I have ever met have been girls. I love the name it's just Gorky to me. Vienna makes me think of Vienna sausages that my dad used to buy when I was little :)Quote:

oh yes twin girls - my dream ;-0 Naomi Elizabeth and Miriam Grace and for a biy - probably my reality! - Benjamin Daniel although a friend recently picked exactly the same name ;-( so maybe Daniel Benjamin!
Hi! I'm new here. I'm due September 16th with my 3rd baby. :)
For a boy I like: Wesley Ryan or Rylan Jacob
For a girl I like Madelyn/Madeline (not sure on spelling) Elise or Keira Elizabeth
Even though I have a short list for now, I'm sure it will be super hard to name this baby. I just hope we have a name before he or she is born.
Sage for a boy? I know two Sages IRL and they're both girls...LOVE Emery.
I'm also a name obsesser. Out of interest for those in the same boat, are you also poas addicts? I certainly was!
My name for a girl is Lexi. I love love love it. I will name my girl Lexi no matter who steals it between now and then, even if it was my best friend, that's how much I love it!
If we have a boy I'm screwed. No ideas after ds1 and ds2. Lol

HUGE congrats again on your BFP btw!! :D
That was my approach with ds1 and 2, but I've been saying for years my girl name was Lexi so that if anyone takes it my friends can know it was mine first and it won't look like I'm copying when I use it. You know?Quote:

No doubt I'll have a boy just because that seems to be how life goes!
Goodness no, I don't want to jinx things being so early.....
but if it's a boy I'm screwed too. I have no clue how to think of a fourth name I like! My criteria always was 1) Not too trendy, 2) Not too stodgy, and 3) Sounds 'right' on an advanced degree diploma, lol.
Funny story though. Out of the blue DS2 came up to me a few months ago and said, if I ever have a girl I have to name her Mia. I was all charmed and thinking what a beautiful name!
Then I got suspicious. You see, DS2 is a big Power Rangers freak. On a hunch, I asked him what was the name of the Pink Power Ranger, and yup, it was Mia.
Sigh. I really liked the name too!!!
Hahah we are very alike. My criteria are similar! Minus the degree thing. Nice one, may add it in!Quote:

Meeks, ROTFLMAO!!!
When he said Mia I immediately thought of Princess Mia from Princess Diaries. I might very well use it if I ever have a girl, lol. It's a gorgeous name.
I really want Evelyn for a girl as it was my grandmas name but hubby isn't convinced ;(
We're leaning towards Kellan for a boy or Kerrigan for a girl. Not sure on the middle names but we've been kicking around Rose for a girl.
Thing is with our other 3 we always we able to come up with and decide on a boy name super easily, but never a girl name. This time we came up and agreed on a girl name but we're still not sure about a boy. DH said for that reason he thinks we're having a girl--I'm doubtful though!
Oops, sorry--double post! It gave me an error the first time but I guess it posted anyways!
I'm jumping due date clubs here but I have been thinking about Simon or Oliver for a boy but I don't really love either name and Rowan, Amelia or Mavis (with a long a) for a girl. I have no idea about middle names though and our last name starts with a G so we have to be careful about choosing middle names that have initials that spell words.
Currently we have the initials DAG, KBG, and GEG and had to rule out several names for ds1 and ds3 because their middle names were choosen first because they are family names.
I do like the names Mia and Evelyn both for a girl and the name Kellan for a boy. I love this thread I always have a hard time chosing names and I don't like discussing them with my family because I hate it when I love a name and they don't like it.
Hello! I am obsessed with names as well. For a boy, DH and I are thinking Declan Phillip (middle name from my brother-in-law). All of our boys have middle names after men from our families. For a girl, we're thinking Birdella. It was my great grandmother's name. DH and I kept throwing around other names -- Ruby, Stella, Violet, etc... And then our oldest son suggested Birdella. I really do love it because of how much my great grandmother meant to me (and always will). Now we're debating Kate and Catherine/Katherine for the middle name.
What about Birdella for a middle name, to keep the family tradition, and Ruby/Stella/Violet for a first name? I LOVE LOVE LOVE those 3 names.Quote:

I love Naomi for a girl but ds2 is Noah too close.
For a boy Benjamin Daniel has been the name forever (Benjamin being last of the tribes of Israel) but friend (not very close one) called her ds exactly that 9 months ago so now don't know could reverse it but while I love dan and Daniel not keen on Danny so don't know if good plan ;-)
Help!
If there is anything I've learned it's that you have to use what you had your heart set on, regardless of who else uses it first. As long as its not your best friend or sister or something! I just think you can explain it was your chosen name forever and any real friend will not only understand but feel flattered that you both like the same name.Quote:

What a gorgeous name - if I were you I'd use it and ditch the friend LOL. No, but seriously you may not even know her in a few years' time. My friend called her son the same as mine but we didn't find out as she gave birth back in America and we think it is cute now. You could always not tell her the middle name or just front up and say that you have has it picked out a while- how could she object to someone saying that the name is so fantastic they want it too?Quote:

Wow I'm not even pregnant and have a name list already! Boys names are easy as I really only have the one....but girls names will be a challenge. I have a list of great names but will be hard to find one DH likes too.
Boy: Rome Owen
Girl: Aja, Harlow, London, Ryder, Halo, Brooklyn, Hunter, Ember, Willow, Aria, Capri, Cambria, Asta, Aniston, Addison, Emjay, Emmi, Evie, Nellie, Zola (now to narrow it down to one name!)
Boy name:- Ciaran (KEE rawn)
Girl name:- Lenaig-Kate (Lena) or Roisin (ROW sheen)
thanks shining star emily and meeks, i'm not that close to the friend and she's a really open person, I think its a boy i might take her for cake and tell her ans see how she feels. she's christian too and i said to her after he was born ph will this be you're last then (she has pigeon pair) and she said no and i said then oh that was the name for my last cause......so she does know that's on my radar
love naomi so much it was top of list for a dd last time but i was so sure it was a boy and dh wanted william i wanted noah and i pulled off the oh i've just given birth but you choose the name honey trick and he 'choose' noah ;-0 i didn't occur me then to think of baby 3!
i love joel and joshua but too close to joseph (ds1)
ummmm its not like nigel and nigela ;-0 i hope that's my worry hmmmm
Omg just this thread and realised I need to up date with boy twin choices!
Daniel Albert
Aaron Benjamin!
It's appears I either jinxed myself or subconsciously knew it was twins interesting!!!
I love the name Aria for a girl. I also like Zipporah but maybe for a middle name.
For a boy I like Arlo but I don't think DH does. I think we'd use Solomon for a middle name but I want a short first name like my boys.
Lovely. Can't wait to hear what the genders are when you have your scan! Keep us updated over here!!Quote:
