    I like the boy names and love Sam for a boy, but our last names starts with an S and wouldn't sound good with Sam.  I like Abby (not Abigail); the others are NMS.

  • Abigail is the only girls name I like. All of the boys names are on our list. Benjamin is our #1, actually (DH's dad's name).

    Married: 10/13/2013
    TTC #1: Mirena removed 5/26/2015; DH - normal SA, me - diagnosed with PCOS 8/4/2016 - on Metformin;
    BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
  • I know WAY too many Abigails and Benjamins to ever even remotely consider using it. I love Betsy and Samuel but I can't use either one because of close friends already using them (thanks infertility for making me "lose" names!). I think Liberty is fun (with the nn Libby) but I like other names more. I love Thomas, but it would sound funny with our last name so I can't use it :(

  • Abigail is our cat's name...so that's out. :)  I like Betsy. We've tossed around the idea of an Elizabeth, nn Betsy, but I don't know that it's made it high enough on the list for either of us. Liberty is a no. 

    I like Samuel.  I love Benjamin but Jimothy says no.  Thomas is the middle name we've chosen for a second boy.

    I like Abigail, but it is my sister's name. Betsy I like as a nn for Elizabeth, but Elizabeth has been used a lot in my family. Liberty is nms.

    I really like the nn Tommy for Thomas, but I'm not sure if I'd use it. I like Samuel, but it is my sister's nephew's name and I don't reuse family names.

    Obviously I love the name Benjamin.

    Abigail - That's meeee.  So obviously wouldn't use. ;)

    Rest are NMS or ruined for me / names of family members too close to be used.

  • I like Abby for Abigail, and I think Liberty is cute, but I probably wouldn't use either one. Betsy is nms, though Elizabeth is my middle name.

    Samuel is nms, and while I like Thomas and Benjamin on someone else's kid I think they're too traditional for me.

    All of the girls names are NMS.  I love the name Benjamin but it seems to have gotten really popular around my area which makes me not want to use it.
