Re: Baby Names

    Have you and FI/DH discussed possible baby names if you're planning on having kids?
    Yes
    What are your favorite names?
    Even if it's not my favorite, we will name our first son John .... something, probably Patrick. DH is John, FIL is John called Jack and FIL's dad was John as well. I also have several Johns in my family.
    First girl will be Anna Catherine after both of our mothers (MIL is AnnaRay but goes by Rae/Ray, My mom is Catherine but goes by an uncommon nickname). Our maternal grandmothers were Anna (H's side) and Catherine (my side) as well, and I was named after both of my grandmothers, so there is a TON of tradition there.
    I loooove the name Seamus, middle name probably Garrett for my dad Gary (don't care for the name Gary, sorry Dad! But his middle name begins with E and my maiden name begins with a T so it's like Gar(y)-e-t) and Teagan for a girl with a ton of different middle names: Joan, Elena, Abigail
    What are names that FI likes that you hate? 
    He loves the names Rebecca and Sarah. He dated a girl named Rebecca, whom I have met and can't stand. A girl who worked for him and was a total self-absorbed biotch was named Sarah so both are out. How those 2 people have not sullied those names for him I have no idea.
    Or vice versa?
    Our last name - Irish O' name - rules out a lot of names that I like as well.

    Have you and FI/DH discussed possible baby names if you're planning on having kids? Yes - I think we've gotten the names picked out. Considering we're going to start trying real soon... !!

    What are your favorite names? - Our first girl will be Addison Renee. (Rene is my moms name.) ***Grace_Ann I love Adelaide! For a boy, it's a tradition in DH's family to use the fathers first name as the sons middle name. We are still having a hard time deciding on a first name that would compliment the middle name Clifford.... But it's tough. We're thinking Adrian Clifford or Jarrod Clifford.

    What are names that FI likes that you hate?  Or vice versa? I don't like Jarrod and he doesn't like Addison - but we've made an agreement that he gets to name boys and I name girls.
