  • I actually think Brinley is cute, but it's not one I would use.

    Coralie - Like
    Abel - Very cute, but isn't a favorite
    Bartholomew - This was a name I threw out, but H gave me a funny look about.  So it wouldn't happen.  It would be Bart for short.

  • Adelaide - Too much name. Though, Addy is an adorable nn.

    Brinley - Sounds made-up.

    Coralie - Nope.

    Abel - Too religious.

    Bartholomew - No.  image

    Colby - I have issues with boys' names that are cute on little boys.  What happens when they are men?  A 50 year old named Colby is just weird.

  • None of them.
    Anniversary
    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
  • Adelaide - Nothing wrong with it, but names that shorten to Addy are way too popular right now.

    Brinley - Nope; don't like it at all. I'm with NFP, that is sounds made up/mashed together.

    Coralie - Pretty, but wouldn't use it personally (I named my car Cora; too close!).

    Abel - NMS

    Bartholomew - Nope, not a fan. 

    Colby - I like it. It's one of the very very few gender-crossing names I'm okay with, but like a little better for a girl.
