Re: NOTD - The Wild West
I adore Annie and it's been high on my list for awhile. I like Belle, Jane, and Pearl but likely won't ever use them.
I like the boy names but won't use any of them.

I doubt DH would go for either of those boy names.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Annie - NMS.
Belle - As this is my parents' dog's name, nope.
Jane - Maybe as a middle name...it's DH's stepmom's name.
Pearl - No. Old-fashioned to me.
Billy - DH really wants his name (William) on our list with Billy as the nn. I don't like the idea of having another one in the same house.
Harry - Meh. I'm meh on Henry, too.
Jesse - "I wish that I had Jesse's girl." NMS.
Wyatt - One of my friend's named her son this, so it's out. I'm not a fan of it for us anyway.
BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
Annie - Cute, but not our style.
Belle - My sister's nickname since forever, so nope!
Jane - A little too boring for me.
Pearl - Very pretty, but not our style.
Billy - DH's estranged brother's name (William), so definitely not.
Harry - Not really a fan.
Jesse - Never liked this name.
Wyatt - I kind of like it, but I don't think it'd make the cut.

I'm kinda getting a kick out of Calamity, though. I can totally see myself using it for a cat in the future.

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
Belle was my cat's name I had a few years back.
Wyatt is actually on a list of ours. Lol, not sure if we would actually use it, but I think it is a cute name.
I don't like any of the boys' names. I don't like Billy as a nn for William. I love the name William but only with nns Will and Bill (and of course, HRH Wills).
Annie - On the list; it is my Aunt's name who passed away after a battle with cancer
Belle - it's nice but rhymes with DH's last name
Jane - Would use it for a MN
Pearl - NMS
Billy - I like it as a NN
Harry - Prefer Henry (it's on my list, but not on DH's)
Jesse - NMS
Wyatt - I really like it! Normally "Old West"-y tough boy names don't really do it for me, but I do like this one.
08/13: Started TTC - 07/14: PCOS dx
BFP 09/18/15 - Baby S 05/27/16
Annie: Ok but NMS.
Belle: Pretty but I can only think of Beauty and the Beast
Jane: I don't mind it--but almost every female cousin I have has the middle name Jane as a tribute to my grandma.
Pearl: NMS
Boys:
Billy: Nah
Harry: As in the prince? I'd take him.....but I am not crazy about the name.
Jesse: Too similar to my sister's name.
Wyatt: Don't hate it, but won't use it.
I also love Jane. I could see us use Anna Jane.
Meh to the rest.
