Baby name poll
As most of you know I photo babies for a living. I hear all shorts of names. Some are wonderful and others are special...
What is / are the most unique names you've heard?
Why did you pick the name you picked for your LO?
Is it an uncommon or common name?
Is it a common name with a strange spelling?
Was it a tough decision to make?
Is anyone unhappy about the choice?
Any names that are popular in your area?
Anything you want to add?
No one needs to answer all the questions. Just what ya want. I also know we all don't have kiddos. It's been awhile since we had a poll.

Re: Baby name poll
I work for a mortgage company, so I see a lot of names pass by. I think the craziest one I've seen is La-a. Any guess on how to say it? Ladasha. Interesting.
DH & I have always loved the name Liam, for years. But now it's one of the most popular names. I don't know if I should give them a name that's so popular now though..
Besides the popularity, when I was pregnant DH didn't want to discuss names. But I would research, and I found that the meaning of Liam is strong-willed warrior. I told him that if baby B survives (and a boy), we would name him Liam.. since he was a little fighter. Since they were boys, I'm not sure if I could name a future boy Liam, because in my heart that was baby B's name.
For a girl, I like the name Addison. But I have a feeling DH and I are going to struggle when it comes to names..
TTC since March 2012
BFP 3/14/13!!!
U/S 4/15: Identical twins!
Lost my angel boys at 10.5 weeks
My Chart***My TTC blog
Our son's first name is Liam, we both loved the name but I secretly know it's due to H's obsession with everything Oasis (I vetoed the name Noel).
My pick was Matthew due to my obsession with the singer Matthew Good. We aren't having anymore kids so I had to squeeze it in now or never.
We also wanted to use my dad's middle name, James, bc he is the last male in the family and our last name will not be carried on.
So, our son has two middle names, making him Liam James Matthew Lastname.
Furthermore, if for some reason he dislikes his name he can opt to go by one of his middle names (my H does this).
We chose the name right before it got super popular so it's kind of annoying, but I don't hear it too much around here so I can hope that it's regional popularity.
Looking back we sometimes think we could have gone with Jack, and sometimes I wish I would have bc MIL hated it hahaa. But we are overall happy with our choice.
Why did you pick the name you picked for your LO?
We don't have any LOs just yet, but we know that boy will be Collin Michael and girl will be Audrey (most likely birthmom's name for middle name) We chose both Collin and Audrey before we were married and have loved them so much! My name begins with A and the hubs really wanted to make sure I was honored in the name as well.. my initials are ALI and so we thought about Ali but we prefer Audrey... Collin Michael was chosen by me. Michael because I have a nephew who is Michael, he was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old and I have always had a strong connection to this little guy. He's a fighter and with his ASD he doesn't let anything stand in his way! The hub's middle name is Michael named after his own father whose name is Michael. Collin Michael has a lot of meaning behind it for us!
Is it an uncommon or common name?
Was it a tough decision to make?
No idea for a boy. But I'm getting sick of the different --den names: Aiden, Caden, Brayden, etc. Especially when they're spelled with a --yn: Cadyn, etc. Maybe it's just regional, I don't know. I work with a woman who is obsessed with Iowa Hawkeye sports and she's named her two boys Gable (after former Iowa wrestling coach Dan Gable) and Hayden (after former Iowa football coach Hayden Fry. Good grief. Also I have a friend who named her boy Bridger and I don't think that's a name.
It's all about personal preference ... hope I didn't offend anybody!
I can't think of any names that I thought were unique.
DH and I have talked about baby names before. He definitely wants to name a boy John Middle name. His Dad's name is John Guy Last name. Guy was his dad's dad name. My husband is named John Paul last name. At first DH wanted to name our boy John Guy. I'll let him have the John, but he's not going to have the same name as DH's dad. Then it would technically a Jr (but skipped a geneation I guess?? I like John Michael, John David. What are other good middle names for John??
For a girl, I want the middle name to be Lee. I would like her to be named after my grandfather, who I was very close to. My mom gave me that idea. I was talking to her about how I wished we had a good family name to name a girl. For girl names, I like Abigail, Madison, Madilyn, Elizbeth, and many more!. I'll have no problem problem picking out a girls name!
I'm sure we'll tell our family what name we chose (if we're able to find out the gender of the child!) I'm extremely close to my family, and I'm sure my sister and mom would "bug" me about a name, so there's no way I'm keeping it a secret. haha

Other names we liked are Lucas, Ella, Lily, and Claire, but all those names are so popular right now. We both have fairly common names (Heather and Nick), so we're trying to avoid our kids having the same name as 3 other people in the class like we did.
Hbatchel, Julia Veronica- Julia Marie- Julia May
That's all I have for now
Mia used to be one of my favorite names until this past year lol. H and I had a talk about baby names once and decided if we had a girl it'd be named Caroline. Neither of us had a boy name we really loved. We don't plan on having kids anytime soon though.
We have one girl name and one boy name for when the time comes. Our girl name is McKenna Lee and our boy name is Joshua David Michael (two middle names, one named after him and one named after me).
