Viola - Indifferent
Poppy - It's pretty, but not sure if I would use it
Blakeley - Not a fan
Damian - Don't like this one
Logan - It's ok, but I wouldn't use it.

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
Viola: Cute, but I prefer Violet. Still nms though
Poppy: nms but I wouldn't side eye someone for using it
Blakeley: NO. I absolutely WOULD side eye anyone using it.
Damian: nms. I could see my brother/sil using it though for some reason.
Logan: nice name but nms
Zachary: Love it, but thanks to IF, it's already been "stolen" by a good friend. Lots of my names have been stolen, unfortunately. I guess "stolen" isn't right because none of the friends knew I liked the names... but I've still had to scratch quite a few off my list b/c close friends used the good ones!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermViola - meh.
Poppy - It's pretty, but not really for us.

Damian - It sounds like a rich snob.
Logan - It's ok, but I wouldn't use it. There are too many little boys with this name right now.
Zachary - This is one boy's name that DH and I agree on. I'm not sold on it, but I would use it before a lot of other common names.
