Fun Poll: Baby Names

GJones27 · July 2010

Have you and your FI discussed what you would like to name your child one day? What are names you are thinking about?

Discuss away! :-)

pumpkinpumpkin · July 2010

Yes we've discussed it.
The only thing we're set on is using my MIL's maiden name as a future son's first name.

AmoroAgain · July 2010

I don't want any babies. In fact, I avoided a 4th of July party yesterday because there would be so many kids there. Ick.

playtntsbpg30 · July 2010

well, I no longer have the Fi to discuss this with, but I like Brady Thomas (Thomas is my fathers middle name; and I'd want EmilyAnne Louise, and Skylar Star, or Skylar____ something. I am up for debate when the time comes but I'd would really like to keep Thomas as a middle name and Louise as a middle name.

barbbhoww · July 2010

These names are a mixture of family names but I'm not telling who..that's a little TMI.

Girl: Lucy Gloria
Boy: Joshua Eugene

tldh · July 2010

Have only settled on Athena for a girl's middle name. FI is a proud Greek man.

shoegal715 · July 2010

Olivia for a girl, and there are no boy names we agree on. I love Evan and Ryan though.

andyandhillary · July 2010

We have discussed it a number of times but we have a hard time agreeing. Good thing we have 10 years (give or take a few)

Moneypenny424 · July 2010

Girl: Cecilia

Boy: Benjamin James

Mr. Penny and I have a hard time agreeing on names because I like a lot of names that are too waspy for his taste . We've agreed on these two, though clearly nothing is set in stone. There are a few other names (Francesca, Georgina, Noah) that I like, but he's hard to please!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · July 2010

Yes. He like old Hebrew names like Ruth (ugh) and Sarah. His favorite name is Keziah (ugh). I really like Amelia and Regan. Thus far we want to use Maynard (a family name on his side) and my last name as middle names for boys. I got him to agree with me on Elijah/Eli, Isaac, Wesley, Rhys and Wyatt, I think. For girls, he agreed with Autumn, Audrey, Felicity, Charlotte and Lydia. I'd like to use my middle name or my grandmother's name for a girl's middle name, too. He wants to make sure our kids have at least one saint's name because he wants to raise our kids Catholic. We have a few years to make this decision, though.

noelle24 · July 2010

Girl: Noelle
Boy:?

We'll probably give our kids an American first name and an Indian middle name though. That's about as far as we've gotten. Kids are a good 3-5 years in the future for us.

apple_green · July 2010

We've agreed on Malia and Owen, but don't have any middle names.

rhodesign · July 2010

We actually just agreed on Eleanor the other day for a still-pretty-far-off future girl. For boys I like Ryan James or Elijah James Ryan (I like 2 middle names for some reason). I also like off the wall biblical names for boys, like Ephraim, but J hates it.

InferiorToKaos · July 2010

For a boy we've discussed: Morris James, and so far the family loves it and said they would call the kid MoJo. The names is both of our dad's 1st names.

For girls he likes Angela, which I hate.

But I don't want kids (at least that's how I've felt for a couple years now.)

Sing2phins · July 2010

I love Lucy, Olivia, and Grace for girls, and Benjamin and Jacob for boys. Who knows what we'll end up with, though.

pooh8402 · July 2010

first girl will definitely be Paige Michele.

boy names we like are Landon and Garrett.

but kids are at least 3 years away.

LOL! We're not having babies either

[Deleted User] · July 2010

ew, no babies!

zippityb · July 2010

If I have twins, I'm naming them Scylla and Charybdis.

JessAndTrav · July 2010

Caroline Kelly
Nathan Walker

H's family has a tradition of giving the males in their family "W" middle names, and Wayne and William are too over-used. As it turns out, both of the middle names we've selected are family names for either one of us in our family lineage.

vanessa7889 · July 2010

girl: Joslynn Nicole or Joslynn Amy...not sure..I like Giselle too, but FI not so much
boy: Brody Kevin or Jayden David...Kevin and David are our fathers names and its important to me to use their names, as my middle name and my brothers were from grandparents, and their middles names etc. I want to keep up that tradition

PLUS, I don't want to use a super common name. I want a different unique name, so when they go to school theres not 5 of the same name in one room lol.

I am as well most of the names that i have pick are greek, i dont really know how Fi feels about them, i am not set in stone, but our kitten's name is greek Calliope! He picked it out so i think we are ok.

mandysmear · July 2010

Names that I like always change. For H too. We don't have girl names. Never really have. All the good ones are taken. Olivia, Ella, Ava (way over done now), Callie, Isabella, Lily, Charlie.

I really like Geneva though. And it's not common.

Boy names: Hudson, Avery, Noah. H likes Ezekiel. I think it's a little too out there though.

We are 20% decided on having kids, so this is fun just to pretend.

rknox88 · July 2010

We have discussed names a bit but really differ on taste. We were looking through a list of names and both really liked Johana and Beckett then realized they sounded so much like our names (John and Becca) It made us feel conceited!

We both really like Emeline for a girl and Elijah for a boy. He says he hopes we just have girls though because he remembers how ornery he and his brother were. If I remember correctly my sister and I were quite the terrors as well.

futuredaniel10 · July 2010

Boys: Jaxon Charles
Mason William James

Girl: Addison Rose Anne.

I always wanted two boys. And as you can tell I like 2 middle names. My sister has two and I was always jealous. Haha.

cody+mandy2010 · July 2010

While babies for us are a ways off, we have decided on Dallas Wade for a boy and Rowan Lorraine for a girl. W middle names are a tradition in FI's family and we both had a gma named lorraine.

stacy&tige · July 2010

We've talked alot about this...one day I said I like the names Malcolm and Xaiver. My FI said "I like them too. Let's just use both for a boy. Malcolm Xavier. I like it." I agree...for about 10 minutes until I realized we'd be naming our son Malcolm X...and that somehow didn't seem right. And now its killed both names for me..UGH!

Boy: Tige (after my FI)
Girl: Jordan, Charlotte, Cecilia, Grace, Hannah (will use Mary as the middle name after my late mother)

We have a roadtrip game where one of us start by saying "what do you think of (name)" and we go back and forth over names we like or just randoms that come to mind. It kills time in the car and we've come up with some pretty great/funny names. Also helps eliminate one we really don't like.

mica178 · July 2010

Nope. My FI doesn't think we should talk about this stuff until we're TTC/I'm pregnant. And that's a few years off. But philosophically, we're on the same page (no made up names, slightly different is good, but make it easy to pronounce and hard to mock).

polichik · July 2010

We've talked about it, but we're not planning on having kids for another 5 years or so. But we both like Marin for a girl and Gabriel for a boy. I love Riley for either gender, but FI's not a fan.

emilyinchile · July 2010

We've talked about it and have a few top choices, but we haven't fully set our hearts on any one name.

The only definites are that we'll use my mom's first name as a middle name for our first daughter and that all names must work equally well in English and Spanish, which significantly reduces our options.

susieq87 · July 2010

Boy: Raymond Anthony IV (after fiance)
Girl: Evangeline Marie (my middle name)

We also want a third, but have a hard time agreeing on a 3rd name. Hopefully by the time we have another coming, we will figure it out.
