Let's talk baby names!
I am weird...I don't have kids yet, but I have a list of names for our future kids! tee hee
If you have kiddos...post their names
If you don't and have given thought to it, post the ones you love!
Every time I hear a name I like, I write it down!! Here is what I have so far...also, for some reason, I tend to like more girl names than boy names..idk why!?
Girls:
Madelyn (Maddy for short), Eva or Ava, Charlotte, Mia, Alexa, Leah, Brooklyn, Rhiannon
Boys:
Ryan, Ryder, Landon, Evan, Nathan, Zachary, Gavin,
Re: Let's talk baby names!
Ha! I love it. DH & I don't have kids yet, but we already have a girls name totally picked out. And we go back and forth on boys names.
Girl: will be Colleen Rae (Colleen was my grandma's name, Ray was DH's grandfather's name)
Boy: Nathan or Jackson not sure on middle names for a boy. Possibly Ray or Raymond, but I'm not totally sold on it. There's no significance to the boy names... just ones we like (and agree on)
I have an entire folder on my computer devoted to baby names, info, tips & tricks, products, recs. I'm the same way with more girl names than boys names. Our first girl will be Lucy, thats been decided for years (thanks to my first love - Lucille Ball).
Boys

Atticus (Addie)
Basil

Girls

ETA: I'm not looking forward to narrowing these down. Thankfully we're planning on at least four bambinos, so I'll get to have four favorites
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Slightly baby name obsessed over here.
The ones we're pretty certain on are:
G - Cynthia Perrine, and we recently added Darwin Bayes - yes I realize it's strange, thanks for noticing ( also really like Kaylen and Aeris although we haven't figured out spelling yet to put them in the running )
B - Ender Orion, Kepler Penn
We don't have any kids yet either, we are working on it. But we have a girls names picked out and a boys name. So don't laugh at them.
Amelia Marie, it's after Amelia Earhart, DH loves airplanes and aviation so I chose that name and Marie is my middle name.
Emery Joseph, Emery because I don't know just heard it somewhere and liked it, Joseph is my grandfather's middle name, he passed away before we got married so I wanted to honor him
Other names include, Isabelle, Shayne (after our good friend) and that's it.
It's hard to pick boy names because Anthony, Michael, and Daniel or Nathaniel are all taken in both sides of our family.

Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Not for a couple more years. We always said we wanted to wait about 3 years after we got married. We still have a lot we want to do before we settle down with kiddos : )
We have a few names we like for girls but thankfully we both agree on a boys name
Girl: Kendall, Bella, Ava, Gianna, Paige, Sierra, Bianca, Claudia
Boy: Gage (there are more but i've always loved this name)
Now if i could just get KU already
My coworker just had twin boys and named then Gavin and Gage! First time I had heard that name, but I like it!
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
My daughter's name is Isabella Michele.
A future son (if we have one) will be Jackson Raymond.
Future little girls names are to be determined, but I adore Cora. Ray is not sold. He prefers Kara if we go that route. I like Kara, but not even close to as much as Cora. Although this could not matter because if we have a boy for our second, we are likely done (although - never say never...)
Both of those are awsome names.
This might be a bit morbid but i've loved that name from when i first read Pet Cemetary by Stephan King. Thats how long i've held a torch for that name. Luckily DH likes it.
This reminds me of Cat Cora on FN.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Ok so we already have names picked out...
Girls: Isabella Mae (mae was my grandma's middle name( and or Autumn Marie ( Marie is CJ's mom's middle name)
Boys: Zachary Steven (steven is my dad's middle name) and or Joshua Anthony (anthony is cj'd dad's name)
I love this post... lol
haha...It was my male coworker : ) He is a personal banker...sits at the desks up front! Thats why he has been missing for the past 3 months because the bank gives paid paternity leave too!!! So awesome!
I also love the name Gage! I brought it up to Ray, and it was shot down. =(
I had a student named Gage, who was one of my favorite kids ever. I had him as a freshman while I was student teaching, and then later as a junior.
Turns out being a teacher is a great way to learn potential names...
So true!!! Or names to stay away from!
Haha - that is true also. It sucks when you have a really annoying or just awful kid that ruins a name for you too. So, I guess it's a trade-off? ;-)
no kids for us for quite awhile but oddly enough we already have names picked out - don't ask me why or evenm when this happened because I am not sure.
Girl:
Makenzie Cheyenne (may play with the spelling when the time comes)
Boy:

I love names!
My favorite boy names are Leo, Drake, Keith, Atticus, Kent, and Darwin
My favorite girl names are Dora (effing Explora ruined the name!), Nora/Norah, Clara, Darla, Karla
Hopefully I get a daughter at some point. Her name will be Riley. Since I planned on dominic being a girl in my head (lol) her name was going to be riley johnna, after my dad who passed away. now dominic's middle name is john. dh's dad passed away this year, so I'm assuming it will be some variation of his name for her middle name.
if it's a boy, no clue. we had a very hard time picking dominic
My offspring are
Gman aka Gareth (only goes by Gary thankyouverymuch) Jason (after his Godfather and one of my bff's
Emster aka Emmalyne (only goes my Emmy except.in.trouble) Grace Anne
LB or the bean Lillian (Lilly) Belle Faith
I love Henry, Colin and Isaac
and
Amelia, Isabelle, Rilla (Anne of Green Gables shout out)
No more kids from me--though I had a dream about a fourth--someone please slap me silly
ETA--yes I am a nickname fahreak
LOL! That's hilarious! And the funny thing is, I thought of you when I was typing out Ray/Raymond because I knew that was your DH's name. We just have REALLY good taste in names! (to further prove it, my kitties name is Bella!)
Our top boy names are:
Levi Michael and James Daniel (middle names are father's names)
Our top girl name is:
Claire not sure about middle name maybe Claire Emma or Claire Ella (variation of my or my sister's name)
Haha!!! That is awesome!!!
So we have names picked out....we'll be finding out in the next month or so which name we'll get to use.
Boy: Aiden Lee (middle name is after DH's brothers)
Girl: Amira Ethyln (middle name is my grandmother and mom's middle name)
I of course have my RyRy - Ryder Jefferson. Jefferson after mine and DH's dads, they're both named Jeffrey.
For a girl (which we want next) - Jaelyn, Jayden, Jaelee, Jayla...are you noticing a theme? I have to have a girl with a J name...and the reason for that....I wanna be able to call her Little J.
We want to have her middle name be a combination of our moms names..but my moms name is weird. Yvonne Theresa. And his mom is Kathleen, no middle name. VERY hard to find a combination of those names!!
We don't have kids yet- but we have our names!
Girl: Madison Thalia (even if we have a girl I have to see her before I can give her this name- kinda a long story) and Lillian Alice (Lillian was my dads mother's name, and Alice was my Great Grandmother's middle name and also my Godmothers middle name).
Boy: Easy. Robert Raymond (that's my dad's name and my dad = my hero). DH and I agreed that if I took his last name and thus our kids did, that we could carry on at least my dad's First/Second name (he's a Jr.).
Well we already have Lucy Susan (Susan is DH's mom's name)
if she was a boy she would have been Jack Clayton
Other girl names
#2-Catherine (still deciding mn)
#3- Samantha Jane
Other Boy name- Simon Patrick
