Baby Name Fever

Jesster153 · February 2011

I know we did this way back in the day but my HR friend here is preggo and we've been discussing names for her future little one and thats given me baby name fever....and since some of you are TTC or going to soon....

What baby names do you like? or have you picked?

nicole8586 · February 2011

First son would be after H - Matthew. My dad has two girls so I would like my second son to be Robert, we would talk about that more if need be. I love the name Gregory but I have a cousin named Gregory so I wouldn't use it.

For a girl we both like Caidence, Laureen (after his granmom) and Regan (I wanted my sister be be named Regan by my mom shot me down, and Regan is his favorite president)

miguelhilary2010 · February 2011

I like Channing, but we already have a friend with a son that name

paprika28 · February 2011

DD's name is Annabelle Grace, and I kinda want to stick with southern sounding names. I heart Carolina Rose, (carlie for short) and FI swears that we're going to have a boy, and loves the name Landon Mark. (I think it's Mark... It's his deceased uncle's first name) We're also looking at Logan Michael, Logan Scott, and Jacob Logan. I had all of my children's names picked out for the longest time, because I wanted a HUUUUGE family. 8 kids...

nicole8586 · February 2011

Hil, did you tell your friend that name before? No one I know IRL will know my baby names until the crumb snatchers take their first breath!

paprika28 · February 2011

I used to love Savannah, but my preggo BM is naming her daughter that. Boo. She knew I loved that name too. Better than Isabella Renesme.... which is what she wanted to name her. (yes. From Twilight.)

Nope. The mom named him and I definitely don't associate with her. Total wh0re.

OMG, let her have Savannah -- you've just saved that poor child <em>decades</em> of ridicule.

Madam A · February 2011

We love Giada for a girl and don't really have anything for a boy at this point...

paprika - I LOVE all of your southern names...

LadyJ10 · February 2011

For boy first names, I love Micah or Noah, for middle names I would probably use my grandfather's first name, Robert. If I was superbold, I would really want to name a son my maiden name (Fitzwater), but idk how that would fly on the playground.

For girls, I love Elizabeth and Abigail (shortened to Lizzie and Abby), and I would probably pick middle names based on sound. I feel like everyone I know named Elizabeth has the middle name Anne, so I would go for something different.

a.lemma4 · February 2011

I wanted to name my little boy Brayden but then I met FI (FI is Braden. Brady for short).

So now I like Harper, Finley and Jayden. They are all kind of neutral names. I really want a little girl named Harper though.

Me too! DH is totally sold on the boy names, but he's not loving the girl names. I can't remember which he likes less, but I think it's Abigail! It's so pretty!

Amerbutt81 · February 2011

>>Isabella Renesme.... <<

I would DISOWN any friend of mine who named their child this. Really? What are we? 14? Lawdy.

I am dead set on my first child being named Harper. I don't care if it's a girl or a boy. If it's a boy it will be Harper Christoper. If it's a girl Harper Ann. My grandmother's maiden name was Harper and I was the apple of her eye. I would love to be able to honor her by naming my first child after her.

Other names I like: Helena, Max, and Noah. I really love the names Gabriel and Gideon, but they would sound horrible with our last name.

paprika28 · February 2011

Don't worry LadyJ- She can have it. Trust me. The names they were picking were horrible. One of them was Beau Something, one was Maverick.... We were all soooo relieved she's having a girl. It would have been Maverick Joshua. Yeah.

Thanks Madam! I know I have a list around somewhere with all of the names...

Annabelle Grace, Savannah Lynne, (This is the one my BM stole- Middle name and all) Calleigh Rose, Melanie Leigh, & Carolina Elizabeth for girls

The boys were
Caleb Sawyer, Lucas Hunter, Jacob Scott, Jamie Fisher & Ryan Logan.

paprika28 · February 2011

Trust me, Amer. I was thisclose. That's why I don't care that she took it. Between that and Maverick... Sweet Jesus.

I love Harper... that's so pretty. Same with Finley.

CaitC21 · February 2011

Let me start off by saying my family has a bad "C" habit.

My sister and I start with C's
and the person I call my brother starts with a C
his four children all have C names.

So yes my kids will have C names.
I love Callie, however my SIL just stole that from me.

So I like Connor for a boy and a girl Caylee
Fi likes Chase

I have middle names in mind
McPherson, its a family name and its Grandfathers, Fathers, and Sisters middle name
And then depending on the gender Oriold or Lee for middle names to honor my mom.

happywithhim715 · February 2011

My hubby wants "Charles" for our first son.. I dislike when father and son are named the same... too much confusion. So we decided on "Charles Joseph or Charles John" So I can called him "CJ" and my hubby will be Charlie. He told me if I give him that wish of our first boy being Charlie, he wouldnt have a say in our second.. HA HA... I love the names Connor Anthony, Lucas Michael...

For girls I want my middle name, Marie, to be the babies' middle name for our first...
Addison Marie
Camryn Marie
Cassidy Ann

I would love for the babies "grandparents" names to continue but as middle names.. and we are having a hard time with them... Debbie, Margaret, William, Mark... so now they are thinking "great grandparents" names... For me its Teresa, Dominic, Ann, Jack...

RecoveringActor · February 2011

Gzilla is weird about baby girl names. He has rules. He isn't as protective over boys names. He just doesn't want him to have his name... and he wants his middle name to be Malio.

Rule #1 no vowels.
Rule #2 no exes names (good rule)
Rule #3 no relatives names for first name (he's a Junior... and it's lead to a lifetime of confusion. We get AARP stuff because they think that Gzilla is his father)
Rule #4 has to be a saints name (though I've caught him a few times on this one...like this morning when he said he liked the name Harper)

The ONLY girls name we agreed on was Isabelle. It breaks Rule #1, but it was the only name we agreed on. And then he taught a little satan named Isabelle who told the principal, the parents at school, and other kids that Gzilla's girlfriend was pregnant and that he takes time out of class to show everyone my ultra sound pictures. Um... I've never been pregnant. And this little brat ruined the name Isabelle for me.

The only rule I have is no J or soft G names. We are both soft Gs... his parents are a J and a soft G... and his brother and his wife are both Js. I will not be that family.

Northstar1808 · February 2011

for the girl it's going to be Kaylee Elizabeth, and the boy will be either Harry Jacoby or Jacoby Harry either way we will call him Coby. I want it to be Jacoby Harry but DH wants it the other way so he can use Harry as his professional name. DH's best friend says it's not fun to have your middle name as your first name because people get all confused. so idk yet

Haha Brady was joking about naming our first born son Maverick!!

Amerbutt81 · February 2011

I give a thumbs up to Abigail. That's my neices name. But be warned-- Abigails are sassy little things.

Also, multiple thumbs up to Elizabeth/Lizzie

I have always thought Amy Elizabeth had a nice flow to it

Sorry, I find this odd and REALLY restrictive.....

Amerbutt81 · February 2011

I think I've offically decided that Gzilla has a lot of rules and is no fun.

Thumbs down to Gzilla.

Jesster153 · February 2011

I used to love Grace but now it's becoming way to popular and since I grew up with at least 2 other Jessica's in my classes at all times- I dont want to go with anything that's popular haha

Girl names are going to be tough- but I do like Harper
I wanna use my middle name- Ann- becasue it's my grammys, moms and my middle name.

Boys we like Nathan (Nate) or Jackson (Jax--- thanks sons of anarchy for that one) and middle name is going to be Richard (my dads name).

ev4149 · February 2011

I love traditional names.... It kind of kills me that names like Emma and Olivia are "in", because I've always loved those names. But I would not want my kids to be one of 16 Emmas in class.

I kind of like Marie or Maria for a girl. I don't know for a boy.

RecoveringActor · February 2011

He is no fun. Especially since a lot of the names that I really like are vowel names. I really like Olivia, also... but one of my coworkers has a little girl named Olivia, so that would be awkward. I also like very Irish sounding names, like Maeve, Mara, Aoife (though no one would know how to prounounce it... It's Eef-uh). But they don't exactly "flow" with his SUPER Polish last name.

Amer- our girl would have the same name-- Harper Ann....and same initials HAG
(i love that you would name her after your grandmother- thats so sweet)

LadyJ- I like Savannah! hahahaha

DH is convinced he's getting a boy so he doesn't like talking about girl names
;)

RecoveringActor · February 2011

I love Grace. Hard Gs are okay, I decided. I also love Clara. And Rhiannon... but again, super Irish sounding name with a super Polish last name = fail.

nicole8586 · February 2011

RA - I love Maeve but DH has a cousin Maeve.
