Re: do you have names picked out for ur children?

  • I had 2 girl names I loved that were veto'ed by my H bc he claimed they were "p*rn star names."  He then named his car one of them.  Grr...

    Teaching also ruined a few boy names for me.  My favorite boy name was the worst kid in my class.

    Other than that, not really.  My H freaks out (my friends in college called him "Chandler Bing" bc he was a little afraid of marriage/growing up) if I mention the word "baby" and that is about as far in the convo we get with regards to names.

     

  • my husband vetoed about 99% of my girl names before we named harper!

    i emailed him a ton of names when i was 8 wks pregnant and he said he didnt like any! 

    it was super frusterating but so much fun at the same time!

  • We have one favorite first name for both. As of now H and I agree on at least the first names.

    My very good friend is due in June. Her son will have our favorite boy name. I used to think something like that would make me change my favorite. Instead H and I have decided if we have a son he will just have to deal with growing up sharing a name.

  • I say to H all the time "If we have a boy/girl, can we name them_____?"  And his response is usually "We're not having a baby."  He's a party pooper.

  • My FI is totally against any name that is spelled differntly b/c he says it doesn't matter how it's spelled it's still the same name...such a guy!     We both like Luca, Cole and Andrew for boys and for girls I'm not really sure...I like Emma so far and my FI is convinced we'll have a boy first so he's not thinking girl names yet.
  • We always had our girl name settled - Giuliana. But the boy name we went back and forth a lot. We like traditional names, so that's how we settled on Jack. Zachary was a close runner-up.
  • My DH is James LastName, IV, so if we have a son, he'll be James LastName, V. For girls, we like Caroline.
  • I have a few names and H doesn't know about any of them.  I don't want any crazy fad names.  I think that my names are classic and I hope that they don't get over used in the next couple of years.

    Krista!  You don't look like a beast, it's just that Harper was stealing everyone's thunder in that pic.  She is gorgeous :)

  • orangejello and lemonjello.

    Our husbands must hang out.  Mine gives pretty much the same response.

  • I have lots of baby names Ive decided on over the years, and whenever I mention one DH makes a face and pretty much says no.  He has had his mind made up for years on his boy and girl name.  the boy name is ok, but I hate the girl name.. honestly sounds like a stripper... Alaura Dannon is his girl name, I think it is awful.  We dont plan on having a baby for another year or so, so we can put this dispute off a little longer
  • We've two names picked out, but I constantly ask H about other ones.  He usually says no.  My dad's name is Daniel and as long as I can remember I wanted to name a son Daniel.  Throughout my SIL's whole pregnancy she was going with the name Jackson for her son(as in we threw her shower with Jackson written on everything) and the day he was born she begged to name him Daniel.  Everyone gave in.  Yeah I'm still bitterish.

  • My H is convinced that we'll have a boy and wants to name our firstborn son, his own first name.  His name is a combo of his mom & dad's first names.  I like his name, but just don't want to name our future child the same name, particularly after the drama during the wedding.  We discuss it occasionallly, but never get anywhere.  I'm hoping that when the time actually comes, he'll see the light, and all that I'll go through in being pregnant and compromise on another name.  Other than that, I'm pretty much open, though I tend to lean towards untraditional names.  My Mom constantly tells me whacko names that are characters in her books.   
  • I swear I typed a reply to this before and now I don't see it. Weird...but anyways.

    My fave boy name is my husband's grandfather's name so that works out well. But one of his friends is now dating a girl with my top girl name, just spelled differently. We aren't ready for kids just yet but I'm wondering if he'll want to pick a different name for a daughter if his friend is still with this girl. I'd ask him but he'd probably think I was nuts.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
